Sencha cmd v3 production build fails (timeout) if not using sencha-touch-debug.js

[dhennen]

I can build my app using sencha app build production if in app.json I use sdk/sencha-touch-debug.js.

If instead I try sedk/sencha-touch.js, the build fails with the following error:

[INFO] Copied resources/loading[INFO] Resolving your application dependencies (file:///ctdev/index.html)[ERROR] Timeout waiting for the application to finish loading[ERROR] Failed loading your application from: 'file:///ctdev/index.html'. Try setting the absolute URL to your application for the 'url' item inside 'app.json'

Any thoughts?

Ext.Loader isn't enabled by default in none debug files therefore Sencha Cmd cannot resolve the required classes to include in the build.

[dhennen]

So is it possible to get Sencha Cmd to build the production target without using the debug version?

[mitchellsimoens]

Correct, it needs Ext.Loader enabled to resolve what classes need to be included in the build.

[dhennen]

Correct, it needs Ext.Loader enabled to resolve what classes need to be included in the build.

How does one enable that?

There is no reason to swap out "sencha-touch-debug.js" for "sencha-touch.js" in your app.json because doing so may disable the loader among other things used in dev mode.

The build process will effectively convert all code (app and framework) from debug mode to production mode.

There are two ways for the compiler to determine dependencies for your application: the new way using the compiler's code analytics and the old way of running your app in a headless browser and capturing the loader history.

Are you using "v2deps" mode? This is not the default so you would have to request it. The error message certainly appears to imply that you are using that mode, so either the v2 tools are running or this mode is enabled.

Please include the exact command and result (including Cmd version banner) with "-debug" enabled.

Such as:

  $ pwd
  /ctdev
  $ sencha -debug app build production
  Sencha Cmd V3.0.0.181
  ...

I downloaded what I thought was the most recent version of the sencha command from http://www.sencha.com/products/sdk-tools/download/ but as you can see it reports version 2.0.2, not V3.0.0.181 you have.

The -debug flag doesn't report anything extra on my version of sencha. However, here is the full build log:

Where does one get v3 of the sencha command?

Thank you very much for your help. Things are starting to make a little more sense now.

[dongryphon]

That makes more sense

The new version is in beta and can be found here:

http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...ha-Cmd-V3-Beta

When we reach GA we will update the main site pages.

So, if you are using the Sencha Touch 2.1 Beta 3, then Sencha Cmd V3 (currently 3.0.0.181) is what you need.

The SDK Tools V2 are needed for Sencha Touch 2.0 since the new Cmd is not backwards compatible (as of yet anyway).

[dhennen]

Okay, makes perfect sense now.

I put v3 in my subject thinking Beta 3 == v3.

I'm looking forward to GA. Thanks!
