JavaScript Generating a Service

I am running the command with the --module=app option but it does not update app.module.ts. Any ideas why?

I run this:

ng generate service test-content --module=app --dry-run

And get this:

CREATE src/app/service/test-content.service.spec.ts (359 bytes) CREATE src/app/service/test-content.service.ts (140 bytes)

NOTE: The "dryRun" flag means no changes were made.

I had the same issue. Did a bit of research and found this link. Looks like --module is no longer supported when generating a new service.

Thanks. I also saw that link. Indeed it has been deprecated as the documentation does not mention --module anymore.
