rspack withNx config ignoring library dependencies

[Hans Tjipto]

Current Behavior

Currently we are trying to migrate our nestjs based project from webpack to rspack, it seems that we always receive this error:

ERROR in ./node_modules/@nestjs/microservices/server/server-redis.js
  × Resolve error: Can't resolve 'ioredis' in '/Users/hans/Documents/projects/project_name/node_modules/@nestjs/microservices/server'
    ╭─[16:1]
 16 │         this.transportId = enums_1.Transport.REDIS;
 17 │         this.isExplicitlyTerminated = false;
 18 │         redisPackage = this.loadPackage('ioredis', ServerRedis.name, ()=>require('ioredis'));
    ·                                                                          ──────────────────
 19 │         this.initializeSerializer(options);
 20 │         this.initializeDeserializer(options);
    ╰────

the @nestjs/microservices is not directly used by the project but instead used by the internal library that used by the project.

our rspack config is quite standard:

module.exports = composePlugins(withNx(), (config, {options, context}) => {
    // customize Rspack config here
    config.entry = {
        main: './apps/auth/src/main.ts',
        migrate: './apps/auth/src/migrate.ts',
        seed: './apps/auth/src/seed.ts',
        inspect: './apps/auth/src/inspect.ts'
    };
    return config;
});

Upon checking it seems that none of the project's library dependencies are included in the externals. Not sure is it expected but it seems that the withWebpack was having different behaviour that ignoring all the node_modules.

Expected Behavior

The project's library dependencies is included inside the externals
