When trying to create a new field type I'm getting the error: No plugin exists with the handle "test" I'm following the docs so not sure what's going on?

Steps to reproduce

Open console


$ php craft make field-type --plugin=test

Exception 'craft\errors\InvalidPluginException' with message 'No plugin exists with the handle "test".'

in /site/vendor/craftcms/cms/src/services/Plugins.php:889

Do you already have a plugin installed with the handle test?

Getting the same error when trying to create a new field-type using the ReadMe sample: php craft make field-type --plugin=foo-bar

Exception 'craft\errors\InvalidPluginException' with message 'No plugin exists with the handle "foo-bar".'

Should the module or plugin already exist before running the generator?

Versions: "craftcms/cms": "4.4.10.1", "craftcms/generator": "1.4.0",

Edited to answer my own question: the module needs to be generated first, before you can create a field-type. I jumped the gun and scrolled down to the components where I saw the field-type example in the ReadMe. For anyone else who is confused or gets stuck on this, start with the module generator first:

php craft make module my-test
composer dump-autoload
php craft make field-type --module=my-test
