ABP.IO v4 generate proxy Error: [Invalid Module] Backend module "app" does not exist in API definition

Question

Just created a fresh Abp v4.0.0 project. Everything works fine, DB created, swagger shows the endpoints, admin user logged in; and upon generating the proxies:

abp generate-proxy

I got the error:

[Invalid Module] Backend module "app" does not exist in API definition.

My environment:

Node: v14.15.1
NPM: v6.14.9
Angular CLI: 11.0.3
OS: win32 x64
@abp/ng.schematics: ~4.0.0

Answer 1

It turns out that everything provided by Abp has it's own module and doesn't need JS proxies. You only need to generate-proxy when you create your custom endpoints (An endpoint is an application service like CrudAppService or anything that inherits from IApplicationService.
