Apollo codegen:generate gives error "Generating query files with 'typescript' target"

Question

I have backend on Express with Apollo Graph.

In my client React app im do next:

apollo codegen:generate --excludes=node_modules/* --includes=**/*.tsx --target typescript --tagName gql --outputFlat generate

I wait for folder generated, but this command gives me next error:

Error: There are multiple definitions for the herewas operation. 
All operations in a project must have unique names. 
If generating types, only the types for the first definition 
found will be generated.at GraphQLClientProject.checkForDuplicateOperations 
(....\node_modules\apollo\node_modules\apollo-language-server\lib\project\base.js:129:31)
.........
.........
Generating query files with 'typescript' target
> Apollo does not support anonymous operations

Also i have apollo.config.js:

module.exports = {
  client: {
    service: {
      url: "http://localhost:4000/graphql"
    }
  }
}

I do not understand where to dig, the code took from Google search

Apollo does not support anonymous operations

You should give your query/mutation operation a name :

This will work:

query SOME_NAME {
  users {
    age
  }
}

This will NOT work (note that query name is missing):

query {
  users {
    age
  }
}

Also you can check this thread: https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-tooling/issues/184

operation name required. Something like below, required the name.

query {
  users {
    name
  }
}
