As you are using a DTO, I guess you are using directly the development version from the "master" branch?

I'm testing this right now

[jdubois]

I just tested with the latest version and it works!

-> Can you do a git pull and test again? If it fails, please re-open the ticket

[Jacek-Kurasiewicz]

Yes, I am working on master branch. I freshly cloned the master branch to make sure.

Unfortunately I am getting the same error:

$ yo jhipster:entity Client

As you have a ENOENT it looks like the file can't be read, are you sure the file is here?

[Jacek-Kurasiewicz]

You're right. The file is there. The Author of this code, possibly you, used lower case "Dto" as a template name:
generator-jhipster/entity/templates/src/main/java/package/web/rest/dto/_EntityDto.java

but references the template using upper case "DTO":
generator-jhipster/entity/templates/src/main/java/package/web/rest/dto/_EntityDTO.java

Most unix file systems unlike windows is case-sensitive.

I hope it will help to bugfix quickly.

[Jacek-Kurasiewicz]

I changed locally _EntityDto.java to proper _EntityDTO.java and generation process worked fine.

I hope to be able to contribute soon. Just learning how to start coding with you, guys.

[jdubois]

Oh yes this is my fault!!!!!!!
I originally used lower case, and then refactored. No problem on Unix, of course!
