I am following this tutorial: [iOS GraphQL Simplified: macOS Command Line Techniques for Sustainable Schema Operations | by Alkin Cakiralar | Medium](https://medium.com/@acakiralar/ios-graphql-simplified-macos-command-line-techniques-for-sustainable-schema-operations-22921d436f74) and I am getting an error when using the `generate` command. It seems to be an issue with my schema, but it is the one I get when I run `./apollo-ios-cli fetch-schema` . Has anyone else had the same problem? How can I resolve it? This is my structure in the Xcode project: graphql\_schema\_Rick.graphql: ```auto """""" directive @cacheControl( """""" maxAge: Int """""" scope: CacheControlScope ) on FIELD_DEFINITION | OBJECT | INTERFACE """ A directive used by the Apollo iOS client to annotate operations or fragments that should be used exclusively for generating local cache mutations instead of as standard operations.

Hi @Yeshua_A - your `operationSearchPaths` and `schemaSearchPaths` are conflicting with each other because `"**/*.graphql"` will find all `.graphql` files including your schema file. The codegen engine is trying to parse your schema file as an operation file and telling you it cannot execute the instructions because they are not operations. Rename your schema file to use `.graphqls` extension and remove `"**/*.graphqls"` from `operationSearchPaths`. That should fix it for you. ---

Thank you so much! However, I’m still struggling 🫤. I’m getting another error: ```auto Error: No GraphQL operations could be found. Please verify the operation search paths. ``` How should I set my `operationSearchPaths` with the following structure? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/apollographql/original/2X/4/49e1f23c83e909afcc98c6cc41f356a741f1f08f.png) characters.graphql: ```auto query characters { characters { results { id image } } } ``` Thank you in advance ---

Try move `apollo-ios-cli` and `apollo-codegen-config.json` to the root of the project then ` **/*.graphql` will run through all project subfolders. Right now it’s only looking in `Core/** ` and can’t find any operations. Alternatively you could move the `Operations` folder into `Data` so it can be found from there too. ---

Thank you so much! That worked. I have attached an image of the project structure for anyone who might be struggling with this. Regards, Calvin 😊 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/apollographql/original/2X/0/0b77c51f4ff46b0ec30739d7619504e172110fd9.jpeg) By the way, after that I just clean the project using ShiftCommandK & OptionShiftCommandK.
