This PR ensures that all dependencies are built before serving the Node app. <!-- If this is a particularly complex change or feature addition, you can request a dedicated Nx release for this pull request branch. Mention someone from the Nx team or the `@nrwl/nx-pipelines-reviewers` and they will confirm if the PR warrants its own release for testing purposes, and generate it for you if appropriate. --> ## Current Behavior If users don't manually run `nx build <app>` first, then the dependencies won't build because when `@nx/js:node` executor runs, it uses `runExecutor` which skips dependencies. ## Expected Behavior Set `dependsOn` on the `serve` target so run `<app>:build` first, which would ensure dependencies are all built. Also add `runBuildTargetDependencies: false` to the target options for visibility, so users could toggle it on if they want to re-build deps whenever there is a change (during watch). The option will slow things down, so we still want it to be `false` by default. ## Related Issue(s) <!-- Please link the issue being fixed so it gets closed when this is merged. --> Fixes #18964
