There is no template found with given name: {name}

Error message

There is no template found with given name: {name}

What it means

Thrown by TemplateInfoProvider when the template-name argument does not match any case in the switch over known TemplateName constants (App, AppPro, Module, ModulePro, MicroserviceServicePro, Console, Wpf, Maui, etc.). The CLI receives the template name from the --template option of 'abp new' and falls through to the default branch, treating the unknown string as a hard error rather than as unknown input.

Solutions

1. Run 'abp new MyProj -t app' (or module, console, wpf, maui, app-pro, module-pro) using the exact registered TemplateName constant.
2. Run 'abp new MyProj -h' or consult the CLI help to list supported template names for your installed version.
3. If you need the React UI or another modern-only template, use ABP Studio instead of the classic 'abp new' command.
4. Upgrade the ABP CLI ('abp update' or 'dotnet tool update -g Volo.Abp.Cli') so newly added template names are recognized.

Example fix

// before
abp new Acme.Shop -t aplication
// after
abp new Acme.Shop -t app

// Before calling GetTemplateInfoAsync, validate against the known names.
var allowed = new[] { "app", "app-pro", "module", "module-pro", "console", "wpf", "maui", "microservice-service-pro" };
if (!allowed.Contains(args.TemplateName, StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{
    Console.Error.WriteLine($"Unsupported template '{args.TemplateName}'. Choose one of: {string.Join(", ", allowed)}");
    return;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Running 'abp new MyProj -t <name>' (or ProjectBuilding API with args.TemplateName) where <name> is misspelled, truncated, or is a template only produced by ABP Studio's modern builder (e.g. 'react', 'maui-blazor'). Any value not equal to a registered *.TemplateName constant hits the default.

Common situations: Typo in template name (e.g. 'ap' instead of 'app'); using an old tutorial that references a renamed template; passing a Pro-only name without a license so it was never registered; shell quoting that strips part of the name.
