Root-level scripts via Nx are broken since v18

[Ambroos]

Current Behavior

Following the steps here: https://nx.dev/recipes/running-tasks/root-level-scripts

Adding a script and nx config to the root level package.json (in a package-based monorepo) no longer makes the script available as a task in Nx 18.

In root package.json:

  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo hi"
  },
  "nx": {},

nx show projects does not show root project
nx run root-name:test errors (cannot find project)

Expected Behavior

What happens in v17:

nx show projects shows root project
nx run root-project-name:test runs

2. nx run workspace-level-test:test -> errors
3. nx show projects -> empty, does not pick up root package

Hey @Ambroos - I can't reproduce this issue. In your provided v18 repo, the test command is running properly for me.

Can you verify that this is still happening for you?
