If in nx.json I add to generators:

    "@nx/angular:library": {
      "linter": "eslint",
      "unitTestRunner": "jest",
      "prefix": "srx",
      "directory": "libs"
    },

then nx g lib fails after selecting a generator:

% nx g lib test --dry-run
✔ Which generator would you like to use? · @nx/angular:library

 NX  Generating @nx/angular:library


 NX   Schema does not support positional arguments. Argument 'test' found

and if I run nx g @nx/angular:library test --dry-run (with the mentioned addition to generators), then:

nx g @nx/angular:library test --dry-run

 NX  Generating @nx/angular:library


 NX   Schema does not support positional arguments. Argument 'test' found

and if I run nx g @nx/angular:library --name=test --dry-run (with the mentioned addition to generators), it writes without the library name in the path:

% nx g @nx/angular:library --name=test --dry-run

libs/project.json should be libs/shared/project.json
