Feedback and NullPointerException when "sencha app build" on generated ExtJS app

After trying the previous build systems I can say that Cmd v3 is a huge step in the right direction. Keep going.

I've got some feedback on the generated ExtJS app and an exception I can't get past that mikih was also seeing here.

Feedback:
the Main view is generated but not hooked up in the Viewport - seems strange and incomplete but easy to correct

the app.js contains a view: ["Main"] - shouldn't this be on the Main.js controller?

Main.js view would/should have an alias defined, e.g. "widget:Main" ?

The template code uses double quotes for the views and controllers arrays, i.e. substituted text...is this a 'standard' or an artifact of the template processing? When should one use single vs double quotes? Does it matter?

Here's the dump of my app build - this is a stock, i.e. done immediately after a 'sencha generate app MyApp test1'....any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Code:

Yeah, the Main view is not used anywhere but yes it should get an alias much like Viewport should get an alias. All views should have one. I believe the reason it is not used anywhere is because the template file is used for any view that you create using Sencha Cmd and by default it creates the Main view.

Having the Main view in app.js or a controller is really a matter of where it is used. IMO, the Viewport class likely should be using the Main view so it should require the Main view not app.js or the controller.

About the double or single quotes, this is a simple template that could be fixed to use single quotes.

Some progress with build 181 (Sep 27) BUT 'Unable to locate 'app.dir' config property

The NullPointerException I was seeing with build 141 while doing a 'sencha app build' immediately after generating the raw MyApp has gone - yay!...but it doesn't appear to have done the equivalent build...Compass and sprite tasks seemed to have been skipped.

Also, when I go in to the build folder and launch the index.html it doesn't load because the all-classes.js path is off. The compiler puts my files under a sub-folder (defaults to MyApp) and this is missing from the script tag. Thats easy enough to fix manually...but should be fixed.

My steps are...

Code:

sencha generate app MyApp test3 cd test3 sencha app build > no NullPointerException :) but appears incomplete sencha ant testing build Sencha Cmd v3.0.0.181 [ERROR] Target "testing" does not exist in the project "@@@". sencha ant production build Sencha Cmd v3.0.0.181 [ERROR] Target "production" does not exist in the project "@@@".

Now trying 'sencha ant build' appears to do what 'sencha app build' did in build 141...Compass and sprite tasks are run...

...but we have a new Exception: Unable to locate 'app.dir' config property from sencha.cfg

My app-local sencha.cfg (/test3/.sencha/app) contains the following...

Code:

app.name=MyApp app.framework=ext app.classpath=${app.dir}/app

Clearly, app.dir is missing. Is this something that I should supply or the generate command should have inserted?

Try running the command with the "-debug" switch (as in "sencha -debug ant build") and see what you get.

The "app.dir" property is set by Sencha Cmd based on the application as determined by your current directory. If you current directory is not the application root folder (or a sub-folder), this could be the cause.

Please include some information about your directories and the current directory when you run various commands as these are quite important. See http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-1/#!/guide/command for some comments on this.

More info regarding failure to find 'app.dir' config property in sencha.cfg

Here's some more detail...

Code:

Huws-MacBook-Pro:testapp huwjones$ pwd /Users/huwjones/testapp Huws-MacBook-Pro:testapp huwjones$ sencha --debug app refresh Sencha Cmd v3.0.0.181 [ERROR] Unable to locate 'app.dir' config property from sencha.cfg [ERROR] Please ensure this command was executed from a valid application directory [ERROR] Non-appliaction directory com.sencha.exceptions.ExState: Non-appliaction directory at com.sencha.command.app.AppCommands$BaseLocalCommand.validateCurrentConfig(AppCommands.java:40) at com.sencha.command.app.AppCommands$RefreshCommand.validateCurrentConfig(AppCommands.java:192) at com.sencha.command.app.AppCommands$RefreshCommand.execute(AppCommands.java:218) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at com.sencha.cli.Command.dispatch(Command.java:78) at com.sencha.cli.Commands.dispatch(Commands.java:49) at com.sencha.cli.Commands.dispatch(Commands.java:49) at com.sencha.cli.AbstractCommand.dispatch(AbstractCommand.java:184) at com.sencha.command.Sencha.main(Sencha.java:58)

I'm running the refresh command from inside the testapp folder...this folder was created using...

Code:

sencha generate app MyApp ./testapp

I've installed Cmd in the recommended location...

Code:

/Users/huwjones/bin/Sencha/Cmd/3.0.0.181

and the sencha.cfg file contains the following...

Code:

# This is the Sencha Cmd version. By defining this property, we are declaring this # folder to be a Sencha Cmd installation folder. cmd.version=3.0.0.181 # This version indicates the level of backwards compatibility provided. That is to say, # users requiring versions between tools.minver and tools.version (inclusive) should be # able to use this version. cmd.minver=3.0.0.0 cmd.jvm.args=-Xms128m -Xmx512m sencha#sdk=/Users/huwjones/bin/Sencha/sdk/ext-4.1.1a

NOTE: I added the sdk path here so I don't have to keep specifying it on the command line

My .bashrc and .profile files contain the following exports...

Code:

export PATH=/Users/huwjones/bin/Sencha/Cmd/3.0.0.181:$PATH export SENCHA_CMD_3_0_0="/Users/huwjones/bin/Sencha/Cmd/3.0.0.181"

I'm going to try and get my hands on a newer sdk release, e.g. 4.1.2a and see if that changes things.

So I think I found the problem...

Specifying the sdk option in the sencha.cfg doesn't appear to work.
It DOES use the path there as my generated apps appear to get all the right ext files from the specified framework.
But for some reason 'app.dir' is not setup or evaluated correctly.

When I generate an app using the -sdk option on the command line then subsequent calls work.

Strange but true for me.

Yes, I didn't realize at the time but a "sencha#sdk" config is a definite no-no.

This essentially "re-roots" the configuration system which means your app.dir is no longer detected.

Do you have any other issues?

I think at some point soon you need to clean up the help (which I like) but add some better validation and feedback.

A specific example would be: sencha app upgrade -p ext

I've been having problems getting the upgrade command to work at all.
On examination the -p can be dropped as it just controls the color output.
The ext (path to the ext framework install) argument is the important part but its not clear in the help.

Code:

* upgrade - Upgrade the given application to the SDK at the current working directory

No indication of the required arguments / options.

Worse is this kind of output...

Code:

test6 hjones$ sencha app upgrade Sencha Cmd v3.0.0.190 [ERROR] The following error occurred while executing this line: /Users/hjones/test6/.sencha/workspace/plugin.xml:2: Cannot find /Users/hjones/test6/.sencha/workspace/${framework.config.dir}/plugin.xml imported from /Users/hjones/test6/.sencha/workspace/plugin.xml

Only when I supply the unnecessary -p option do we get...

Code:

mini:test6 hjones$ sencha app upgrade -p Sencha Cmd v3.0.0.190 [ERROR] Missing required argument

Finally, if a command combination is 'deprecated' and given the beta state of this project wouldn't it be better to simply remove it to avoid confusion. I'm talking about 'sencha app build'. This appears to do just a JavaScript compile and build now. Is this intended? Not sure how this is different from a 'sencha compile concatenate'.

Hope this makes sense.
Am loving the progress you are making and the fact that I can actually get real work done with this now.

Thanks for the constructive observations. Especially on the error messages and process of discovering the proper command syntax in all cases. It is easy to overlook that aspect especially as the developers.
