Can not create app on Mac OSX 10.7.5

[Simon618]

Hi,

I have followed the installation guide to install and am getting stuck on the errors I see in the command line.

If I navigate to the SDK and just type sencha I get -

[WARN] The current working directory (/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/sencha-touch-2.1.0-gpl/sdk) is not a recognized Sencha SDK or application folder. Running in backwards compatible mode.


Sencha Command v2.0.0 Beta 3
Copyright (c) 2012 Sencha Inc.


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



I saw on a thread that if you add a hidden file called .senchasdk into the sdk then that will help.

But than I get this error -



node.js:201
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
^
Error: Cannot find module '/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/sencha-touch-2.1.0-gpl/sdk/command/sencha.js'

at Function._load (module.js:279:25)
at Array.0 (module.js:479:10)
at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:19


This has me confused! There is no path sdk/command but there is sdk/cmd

If I try sencha generate app that has the same error

I have no idea how to progress. I have sencha cmd 3.0 installed but any sencha commands I do throws error.

Do I have to change the SDK path in /etc/paths/ ??

Hi,

I fixed the issue with the following methods

1) I enabled hidden files on mac
2) I went to my username directory and found my .bash_profile
3) I noticed my links were export path as below

PATH=/Users/simonsmith/bin/Sencha/Command/3.0.0.250:$PATHexport SENCHA_CMD_3_0_0="/Users/simonsmith/bin/Sencha/Command/3.0.0.250"

There was no folder PATH so I deleted the bash_profile file. (Might want to check what else is there before you attempt it)

I then deleted all files in my htdocs files and uninstalled everything so starting fresh

4) I created a folder called Sencha in my htdocs then created a folder under it called projects. I then took the sencha sdk zip file and unzipped in the Sencha folder and re-named it sdk

I then installed Sencha Command v3

I noticed the bash_profile has the folder path with 'cmd' in the PATH now and not 'command' as before.


Then it works from here on in as expected

The bash_profile PATH was the issue.

I had the same problem. I fixed installing Sencha CMD instead of Sencha SDK Tools.

The first time I installed the SDK Tools following this suggestion in the getting started guide:
"First, you'll need to download the free Sencha Touch 2 SDK and SDK Tools from the Sencha website"

FYI all, I tried to install the latest Sencha Cmd 3.1.0.216 version, and found that the Mac OSX installer on OSX 10.7.5 did not correctly update the $PATH. When I dug a little further, I found that my ~/.bash_profile and ~/.profile had the correct PATH 'Export' statements, but it wasn't until I also put the newer Sencha Cmd path into my ~/.bashrc file, and reloaded the bash terminal that using Sencha Cmd became possible.

In researching this on StackOverflow, I reference this great post on the in's & out's of Mac OSX 10.7.x $PATH parsing which helped clarify the issue...

I think Sencha need to re-test and clean up their Mac OSX installers in general, especially if you are paying for Sencha Complete, and make its a seamless one-click install that detects dependencies and corrects these kinds of issues.
