Unable to execute chef generate

when I type “chef generate” command, nothing comes on screen.

I have installed cheffdk -
chef-shell --version
Chef: 13.2.20

You need to specify what you want to generate… type chef generate --help for more information

When I type "chef generate --help", control returns back to the prompt, nothing comes in terminal-
chef generate --help
chefcritic-MacBook-Pro:cs chefcritic$

The documentation of the chef executable:

What happens if you run chef generate cookbook test_cookbook

I am getting bash: generate command not found.
chef version 13
just installed for tutorial today.
can't find any advice47%20PM

You are missing cookbook after generate
The command should be: chef generate cookbook test-coookbook

that does not work either.

I started from scratch and it is working. Sorry and thanks.
