Sencha Cmd V3 Beta - 3.0.0.181 Now Available
UPDATE : The "sencha app build" command has been reinstated as the top-level build for an application in more recent builds. This simply calls the Ant script described below making "sencha app build" and "sencha ant build" (and "ant build" if you have Ant 1.8+ in your PATH) all equivalent commands. At the time of the 3.0.0.181 release, the sub-set of the build performed by "sencha app build" was being invoked internally using "sencha app build" but this has simply been refactored to free us to restore "sencha app build" to its role as the way to build apps.
Thanks for all who commented on this issue.
/UPDATE
Greetings -
In this release we have introduced a new, top-level build command to provide a consistent and customizable build process for Ext JS and Sencha Touch applications. In previous releases, Sencha Touch used "sencha app build" as the top-most command to perform an application build. The logic behind this, however, was entirely contained in Sencha Cmd and hence could not be customized.
The new command is:
Code:
sencha ant [production|testing|native|package] build
This runs the generated Ant build script to build your application. The reason the arguments are swapped vs "sencha app build" is to accomodate how Ant processes the command line.
That's all that is necessary to change to "sencha ant build". You don't have to do anything extra to get Ant (it is provided by Sencha Cmd) and you don't have to know anything more about Ant than this command. That is, unless you want to customize the build script.
For details on tuning your application's Ant build script, start by reading the comments contained in "build.xml" (the Ant build script). Also you can consult the Ant Manual for details on using Ant.
Alternatively, you can chose to wrap your own build process around the new "sencha ant build" command in much the same way as you would with "sencha app build".
Enjoy!

Using 181's 'ant build' in a 141 generated app
How do I generate the ant build.xml for an already generated app?
I have an app generated with 141 that I would like to build with 181, but build.xml does not exist.
Error on 'sencha app upgrade' of generated app MyApp using 141 to 181
Don,
I installed build 181, updated my path and tried to upgrade my previously generated apps (generated using 141).
I'm getting this output and errors...
Code:
sencha app upgrade

If I run it again I get slightly different (more specific?) output...
Code:
sencha app upgrade
Sencha Cmd v3.0.0.181
[INFO ] init-properties:
[INFO ] init-sencha-command:
[INFO ] init:
[INFO ] -before-app-upgrade:
[INFO ] app-upgrade-impl:
[ERROR] file /Users/hjones/bin/Sencha/Cmd/3.0.0.181/plugins/ext/current/${framework.config.dir}/app-upgrade.js not found.
In both cases I'm running from the root of the project - /Users/hjones/test1.
The test1 app was unaltered after generating (using 141) before I tried the upgrade.
My sencha.cfg (/Users/hjones/bin/Sencha/Cmd/3.0.0.181) looks like this...
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-path=/Users/hjones/Documents/extjs/ext-4.1.1a
Refreshing doesn't help either...
Code:
sencha 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
What am I missing?
