  1. Hi Rupak,

    awesome extension but facing some issue with the occ command
    after tapping tab it shows something like this

    class ControllerD:\Opencart My modules\abcmodule\2.0\admin\controller\extension\moduleabcmodule extends Controller {
    public function index() {
    ..

    Will you be able to fix this?
