PHP Zend Framework 2 - Renderer is looking for the template in an unexpected folder

I have created a new module in my ZF2 installation called AB2CD. The indexAction of IndexController only returns a new ViewModel(). The error message I am getting is:

Zend\View\Renderer\PhpRenderer::render: Unable to render template "ab2-cd/index/index"; resolver could not resolve to a file

My view manager in module.config.php is:

'view_manager' => array(
    'display_not_found_reason' => true,
    'display_exceptions'       => true,
    'doctype'                  => 'HTML5',
    'not_found_template'       => 'error/404',
    'exception_template'       => 'error/index',
    'template_map' => array(
        'layout/layout'           => __DIR__ . '/../view/layout/layout.phtml',
        'application/index/index' => __DIR__ . '/../view/application/index/index.phtml',
        'error/404'               => __DIR__ . '/../view/error/404.phtml',
        'error/index'             => __DIR__ . '/../view/error/index.phtml',
    ),
    'template_path_stack' => array(
        __DIR__ . '/../view',
    ),
),

Where would it be coming up with the folder ab2-cd? I could resolve the error by renaming the folder, but I'm hoping to understand why it is looking in the wrong place to start with...

In addition to Exlord's answer you do not have to manually set the template in your controller you could also provide a template map within your module.config.php

'view_manager' => array(
   ...
   'template_map' => array(
      'ab2-cd/index/index' => __DIR__ . '/../view/AB2CD/index/index.phtml',
   ),
   ...
),

I also would advise against using module names with numbers in it. Something like AbToCd which would translate to ab-to-cd/index/index would work better with the psr-0.

ab2-cd is generated from your modules name AB2CD. if you don't what a auto generated name provide the template name for the view model manually with setTemplate method.

if you want to keep using the auto generated names , your directory structure should be something like :

--module
 |--AB2CD
   |--view
     |--ab2-cd
       |--[lower-cased-controller-name]
         |--[lower-cased-action-name]
