@nrwl:linter:eslint doesn't auto fix errors?

[kdaang]

When running nx run app:lint --fix i expect errors to be auto fixed, but it's not. I can see that the linter is detecting the errors, but it's not applying the fixes to which it should according to the docs. I'm new to the NX ecosystem and I'm using @nrwl/linter:eslint, any ideas on what can be the case?
