Description

if you are inside the "apiproxy" folder or if you have renamed to something else after download, it will return this "Proxy base director /absolute/path/to/package does not exist error". The error is very misleading, could have been more clear by indicating the "apiproxy" folder does not exist for this particular scenario.

Reproduce the error while inside the "apiproxy" folder and after renaming the downloaded folder, then search the project for the reported "Proxy base director" message. Done means the error identifies that the "apiproxy" folder is missing and remains accurate in both scenarios.
