Thanks for reporting this!

Buildable libraries can only depend on other buildable libraries. This is mentioned in the docs https://nx.dev/more-concepts/buildable-and-publishable-libraries#buildable-libraries.

So, in your example, you'll need to make the js-library project buildable (have a build target in this case).
