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

[gersoncfilho]

Just installed the SDK and following the instruction after the sencha command it return this error.

[gersoncfilho]

Hi, we have to include the sencha sdk in the /etc/paths.

sudo vi /etc/paths

After insert the sencha sdk path to the file save and close the file.

Then, in the terminal, navigate to your project folder, and from there, call the command.

Worked fine for me.

Best regards.

System: OS X Lion 10.7.2

Installed Sencha SDK Tools in (/Application/SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3)
Download and Unzip Sencha Touch 2.0.1.1 to your webserver's localhost folder.

then you can use the "sencha" command in terminal. (close all terminal windows and re-open to apply changes in .bash_profile path additions)

by typing "sencha" in command line should show similar output as below:

if similar output, then sencha SDK Tools working properly.

for easy access, extract the Sencha Touch 2 (sencha-touch-2.0.1.1-gpl.zip - as of writing) to your webserver's localhost. Sencha SDK Tools verify a valid sencha SDK if it finds the .senchasdk file. see image below:

i keep my sencha touch SDK inside (/Users/my_name/Sites/sencha) then my projects inside that folder. so i create sencha touch projects using command line:

sencha generate app app_name ./app_folder


then that's it. so accessing it to my browser is easy as 123.
(I'm using virtual-host configuration on my XAMPP local server)

Works when using sencha-touch-2.0.1.1-commercial
1. Unzip the old sencha-touch-2.0.1.1-commercial.zip
2. Change to directory and list contents

File .senchasdk is there but copying to the new directory won't solve the problem... What can I do?

[mitchellsimoens]

SDK Tools should not be used with 2.1.0, Sencha Cmd should. The blog has links to Cmd.

I ran in exactly the same issue.
Sencha Touch SDK Tools are not compatible to the Sencha Touch SDK in Version 2.1
Sencha CMD is working fine.
http://www.sencha.com/learn/getting-...encha-touch-2/
The starter Guide needs to be updated.

[Nikke]

Guides are out of date. Doesn't work at all on windows.

Downloaded, extracted and tried 'sencha' giving me the lovely SDK not found error.

Please update the guides.

And also, please make a distinction between SDK and SDK Tools, because you're not always clear with what you mean. Explain that Sencha Touch IS actually the SDK. If I read the docs from my local webserver, it tells me to go download Sencha Touch SDK which translates for me in something additional I have to download, while I already got the SDK since I'm reading the docs from it. It's just a headache right now for everyone to figure out.

[dongryphon]

Correct on the Touch 2.0 guide - we need a 2.1 version for sure.

The new guides are here:

http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-1/#!/guide/command

There is an issue with http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-1/#!/guide/command_app in that it references "sencha app create" but that alias for "sencha generate app" was dropped in v3. The first linked guide has the generate app call correct.

This doc fix has been merged but not staged/deployed yet so it should be fixed soon.

Completely agreed. I've just downloaded Sencha 2.1 commercial, and it only works with Sencha CMD.

But the starter guide at http://www.sencha.com/learn/getting-...encha-touch-2/ misleads me to download Sencha SDK Tools. Here's the part that needs update:

Things you'll need

First, you'll need to download the free Sencha Touch 2 SDK and SDK Tools from the Sencha website.

Appreciate if someone could update this asap to avoid frustrations for new users. Thanks
