docker: nx release doesn't replace {version} in git tag if project doesn't contain docker file

[thdk]

Current Behavior

I understand this is a configuration issue on my side but the error I receive is:

 NX   Unexpected error when creating tag app-3@{version}:


fatal: 'app-3@{version}' is not a valid tag name.

Error: Unexpected error when creating tag app-3@{version}:

fatal: 'app-3@{version}' is not a valid tag name.

Eventually I noticed that I hadn't added a Dockerfile for this project yet. After adding one the version was correctly replaced.

Expected Behavior

I expected an error message saying that the project can't be versioned without a dockerfile.
