Getting started SDK tools

[jop_008]

Hi,

I am trying to get the Getting started app going. I donwloaded the GPL and placed it in:

d:\migration_d\Openmodeling\apache-tomcat-7.0.26\webapps\web_ios\sencha-touch-2.0.0-gpl\

I downloaded the SDK tools beta for windows and let him install in the above directory.
When I go to a command shell and type in sencha nothing happend. I found in the bin dir a sencha.bat file. When I switch to that window and run the suggested command:

sencha generate app GS ../GSNothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for helping me.

If you type 'sencha' and nothing happens then you need to have a PATH point to the directory where you installed the SDK Tools keeping in mind not to install to the 'Program Files (x86)' if on a 64 bit windows PC

Hi,

Thanks for your reply on the windows site. Putting the SDK dir in the path dir didn't help.
I installed it in the directory as mentioned in the thread. There is no senchan command in that directory. So the sencha command can not be found.

Tried it on OSx on the Mac also:

usage: sencha COMMAND [ARGS]


The available commands are:
build build a JSB project
create bootstrapdata generate boostrap data
create jsb generate a minimal JSB project for an app
create locale generate a template locale file from source
create manifest generate classes manifest
package package your Touch web app into a native bundle
slice theme slice a custom theme's images for IE


See 'sencha help COMMAND' for more information on a specific command.

John-O-Mac-mini-Intel-Duo-Screen-5encha-touch-2.0.0-gpl jophof$

The sencha generate step doesn't verbose anything and no app is generated.

when i try this in windows 7 home 32 bits , sencha sdk 2 beta, nothing happens:

sencha app create MyApp /path/to/www/myapp

If i execute "sencha" alone it finds the program via path well.

i found the solution , it's a little bit crazy, but...

You have to follow strictly this steps:

http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-0/#!/guide/command

Step 1: Setup an HTTP server on your computer if you don't have one running. This guide assumes that the host name is localhost, and the document root is at /path/to/wwwStep 2: Download and install the latest SDK Tools on your development machine. The latest version as of this writing is 2.0.0 beta.
Step 3: Download the latest Sencha Touch 2 SDK. Extract the SDK to a local directory.Step 4: Verify that Sencha Command is working properly on your machine:Open a command line terminal, and run the following commands. Replace /path/to/sencha-touch-2-sdk with the actual path to the SDK that you extracted to previously, as mentioned in Step 2.
cd /path/to/sencha-touch-2-sdk senchaBut here comes the problem !!
This /path/to/sencha-touch-2-sdk folder is NOT the folder where you installed the program in step 2 ... is the folder where you have unzipped the Sencha touch 2 library in step 3 !!!!!!
Sencha has to be executed "seeing" the library folder.

I do it like this and the it works well, sencha has app parameter, etc...

It's very confusing.

I have the same problem as hop_008.
My SDK Tools are installed in /Applications/SDK-Tools.
My SDK Touch is in ~/Dev/sencha-touch-2.0.0-commercial

now, when I navigate to cd ~/Dev/sencha-touch-2.0.0-commercial, and then run sencha I do not get 'touch' commands, only the ones which hop_008 provided on the screenshot. The same story happens on the Windows 7.

How ppl are supposed to get started with sencha touch if it fails to work?!

[mitchellsimoens]

Did you copy and paste the ST2 directory? Did you get all files? There is a .senchasdk that is a hidden file.

[antonix]

Hi Mitchell, I am 100% sure that I have all the files because I unzipped downloaded archive to the dev dir. Din not copy/paste anything(bad practice). It is clearly that command tool is running as a 'stripped' version without touch functionality. I can't figure out what is causing this issue..
We want to migrate our web app on ios, so decided to use ST for that. Though our team can't learn your framework without being able to use the tools it provides

I will be very appreciated to any help from Sencha community.

Operating System: Mac OS X 10.7.3

Ok, with no luck of help from Sencha experts I managed to find the issue. By default SDK installer will install tools into /Applications folder. In order for sencha command to work with Touch 2 the SDK tools must be installed into /Users/[user_name]/Applications or any other dir under user acc.
Hope this will help other people with the same problem I had.

If everything is ok then command output will be as following:
