NX 13+ removes `projects` from nx.json. Workspace-lint introduces it and causes errors

[kpaxton]

With the later NX versions, the workspace-lint command causes issues due to it adding projects back to nx.json.

The problematic code is linked below.

stack/packages/cli/src/lib/commands/workspace-lint.ts

Line 33 in 7a131f7

projects: sortItems(file?.projects),

my suggestion is to wrap the projects property in an iif statement.

....(file?.projects ? { projects: sortItems(file?.projects) } : {})

As well as the same for packageJson and compiler options

...(file?.compilerOptions
      ? {
          compilerOptions: {
            ...file?.compilerOptions,
            paths: sortItems(file?.compilerOptions?.paths)
          }
        }
      : {})

...(file?.scripts ? { scripts: sortItems(file?.scripts) } : {})

That way, if the property doesn't exist, it won't add it back in.

Hi @kpaxton , thanks for creating this issue. I think Nx 13 does most of this out of the box these days, so your suggestion makes sense. In fact, I might get rid of it all together and just format the scripts object in package.json.

I'm happy to review a PR if you're interested in contributing!
