"Not a recognized Sencha SDK or application folder" on OSX w/2.0.0 Beta 2 / 2.0.1-rc

@zombeerose
I found using the create jsb pointed to a URL was the simplest.
I've had the sencha create jsb working with my stuff with beta 1 and 2 as well as 1.2.3 version of Sencha command sdk tools.
I'll find the post where I talk in more detail about it.

You need to run the sencha app create command inside the location of Sencha Touch2 it will use then the sdk to create a skeleton app.

@aw1zard2
I am using ExtJS ... not Touch. Any idea if ExtJS is supported or will be? I tried running from my ext folder with the same outcome ... "not a valid SDK directory."

I did verify that the SDK folder is in my path.

Thanks for the ideas.

inside my .senchasdk is just on line:
sdk

You can create such file in app folder and sencha command will work fine.

[erpa1119]

create a file called ".senchasdk" in your sdk folder with the value of "." meaning that this folder is an sdk folder.

my paths are:
/Projects/SenchaTouch2/SDK/ -- I put the .senchasdk file in here
/Applications/SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3/

--Hope this helps

I have the same issue. The problem is the result of a unclear installation guide. Basically, you need to

1. install the SDK Tools. The current version is Beta 2.0.0 Beta3. The path should be in your Path environment. In windows, the installer takes care of it.
2. download the Sencha Touch 2.0.1 zip file. This is the SDK. Unzip it to a folder, for example C:\sencha-touch-2.0.1
3. Then run cmd and change path to C:\sencha-touch-2.0.1. Make sure the SDK Tools path is in the Path.
4. run sencha. Now it should display 'Sencha Command v2.0.2'

If you run sencha command from the SDK Tools path, you got the "Not a recognized Sencha SDK..." warning.

I solved this problem on my mac like this:
Identify the folder of the SDK. In my mac is \Developer\SDKs

Download the free Sencha Touch 2 SDK and SDK Tools from the Sencha website.

Start the installation of SDK Tools and when the installation asks for the install path, choose \Developer\SDKs .

Extract the Sencha Touch 2 SDK zip file in the folder \Developer\SDKs

Open a line commad and go to the path \Developer\SDKs

Try now the command "sencha" or "sencha generate app GS ../GS"

In my mac works good.

Worked for me.

you need to have a file called .senchsdk for the sencha command to work

the sencha command looks for this file to determine its actions..

i created a secha project, move it around and the sencha command started giving the error u have mentioned. this happened because .senchsdk was a hidden file and was never copied around

Solution is simple. In your sencha project folder create a file called .senchasdk
its content should be: sdk

thats it. now u r set. and the command should work.

PS: its content is the path to the directory where sencha sdk is. by default that should be sdk

I've installed Sencha Touch SDK 2.0.1 RC and Sencha SDK Tools 2.0.0 Beta 2 on OSX Lion 10.7.3.

When I change to the Sencha Touch SDK directory and issue the 'sencha' command, I get an error:

[WARN] The current working directory (/Appplications/MAMP/htdocs/sencha-touch-sdk-2.0.1-rc) is not a recognized Sencha SDK or application folder. Running in backwards compatiblity mode.

I'm certain that I'm in the Touch SDK 2.0.1RC folder (version.txt says 2.0.1-rc) and that the SDK Tools 2.0.0 Beta 2 bin folder is on the path.

I don't know if it's a clue or not, but I am running with the latest Java runtime, 1.6.0_31

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Ugh, I keep getting this problem as well, I've tried some of these fixes but I have not tried the .senchsdk yet. The issue I am having though is the path issue but it said the build and sign is successful. I'm launching the packaging function from the Architect tool though. I don't know how much of a difference that makes. I'm using the latest version of Architect, SDK and SDK Tools. I get the app create but it throws that error. It however runs in the simulator and I can add it to iTunes but when I try to put it on my device either with iTunes or Xcode, I get install errors. I've literally been racking my brain on this all day. I've got my device set up in the provisioning portal, I've got my cert, I've got my App ID, etc..

cd /Users/ashapiro75/Documents/SenchaProjects/red/
sencha package packager.json
[ERROR] The current working directory (/Users/ashapiro75/Documents/SenchaProjects/red) is not a recognized Sencha SDK or application folder
The application was successfully packaged
The application was successfuly signed
logout

I actually moved the SDK into the /red directory to try that. My app wound up being 187 mb and all it is, is a red screen. That's all I tried to test this with.

So I take the .app that it creates, I put it into iTunes, try to add it to my device and I get an error... I'm about to give up on Sencha, it seems every time I get something down, something else changes and I feel like I am chasing my tail.

All the trouble seems to be related to that .senchasdk file at the root of the SDK folder.
In order to make sure that the file is there:

- use the downloaded folder of the SDK as it is -> don't try to copy its contents into a different folder. I've done that and the dammed .senchasdk is not copied.

Once you launch the "sencha" command from the SDK folder, everything works fine.
Hope it helps,
