Build error with custom app path

[jweber]

REQUIRED INFORMATION


Ext version tested:

• Sencha Touch 2.1rc1

Browser versions tested against:

• N/A

DOCTYPE tested against:

• html

Description:

• If you create an app using Sencha Command, the app's classes are stored in an "app" folder. In previous versions of the command, you could customize this folder. Now I get an error when I try to build an app with a custom folder.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

• Run "sencha generate app ..." to create an app.
• In app.js, change the "Ext.Loader.setPath" command. Instead of 'default': 'app', use 'default': 'customfolder'.
• Rename the "app" folder to "customfolder".
• Run "sencha app build production".

The result that was expected:

• Builds correctly.

The result that occurs instead:

• Shows the following output:

Actually, I'm getting a similar error when I include any classes with a custom directory. Makes me think I must be doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what. For example, in app.js, I added the following to the template app:

//<debug>
Ext.Loader.setPath({
    'Ext': 'touch/src',
    'dummy': 'dummy',
    'default': 'app'
});
//</debug>

Ext.application({
    name: 'default',

    requires: [
    	'dummy.Sample',
        'Ext.MessageBox'
    ],

Then I added a file dummy/Sample.js, containing a definition of dummy.Sample. When I try to build it, I get:

[INFO ]		Processing source dependencies
[ERROR]		Failed to find file for dummy.Sample
 required by /Users/myuser/test/app.js
[ERROR]		Exception running app build : JavaException: com.sencha.exceptions.ExBuild: Failed to find any files for dummy.Sample
[ERROR]		javax.script.ScriptException: sun.org.mozilla.javascript.internal.JavaScriptException: [object Error] (<Unknown source>#709) in <Unknown source> at line number 709

All of this works when I'm debugging in a browser, but fails when I try to build.

Thanks for the report! I have opened a bug in our bug tracker.

Using v3.0.0.190 with ST 2.1.0 RC1 I can change the app dir to something else and get it to build properly. Here is how I did it:

> cd /path/to/sencha-touch-2.1.0-rc1
> sencha generate app MyApp /path/to/MyApp
> cd /path/to/MyApp
> mv app foo

-- edit app.js to have MyApp path resolve to the foo directory

--edit .sencha/app/sencha.cfg and change this line:

app.classpath=${app.dir}/app.js,${app.dir}/app

to

app.classpath=${app.dir}/app.js,${app.dir}/foo

> sencha app build production

This should build fine and you can launch your app in a browser just fine.

Thanks. That works, but this is an area where the documentation really needs improvement.
