Could not find generator 'graphql:install'. Maybe you meant 'react:install', 'pundit:install' or 'devise:install'
Run `rails generate --help` for more options.

I started having the same problem, out of the blue. I didn't have graphql-relay; it was a brand new Rails 5.2.0 project in a previously empty gemset. Ruby 2.5.1p57. The error was: "Could not find generator 'graphql:install'.

In my case it was because of spring. I disabled spring and it worked perfectly well.

To kill existing spring processes:
pkill -f spring

To disable spring:
bin/spring binstub --remove --all

@yumikohey :
looks like these two gems are not compatible with each other. Please follow these steps to overcome this issue.
1. Remove gem graphql-relay from your Gemfile.
2. bundle install
3. Make sure you have latest version of graphql
- Check your Gemfile.lock latest graphql version is 1.5.2
4. execute generator rails generate graphql:install

Cheers

Those steps above sound good to me! If they don't help, please reopen this issue and paste your full Gemfile.lock.

... of some reason the graphQl gem wasn't added to my gem file. So I just added this row to the gemfile:

gem 'graphql', '~> 1.9', '>= 1.9.3'

... and ran bundle

then it worked

PS. the above row is the most resent version at the time of writng this. Make sure you have the latest version here : https://rubygems.org/gems/graphql .DS
