Is this a regression?

Yes

Description

I have a large Angular project split into libraries using NX.

When I use this migration script specifying:

when I specify the path of the directory I want to migrate, it works as expected.

However, when I use other migration scripts such as:

Please provide the exception or error you saw

The problem is that it tries to scan the entire project even when it's not needed because a path is specified.

Please note that this only affects SOME migration scripts (e.g. self-closing tag) while other (e.g. control-flow migration) do not have this issue.

Please provide the environment you discovered this bug in (run ng version)
