4.2 Beta appFolder config Ext.application do not work properly

[mrinsan]

Facing problem with Ext.application in 4.2 Beta
i have my appFolder pointing to a different folder (not the default 'app' folder)

It is a Java/web application
and my ext application is sitting at client/desktop/app folder

when i specify this setting in 4.2 beta
while loading the controllers it seems to ignore this and trys to load them from the default app folder
however views and stores are assumed to be present in the appFolder path specified in the Ext.application config

this used to work fine with extjs 4.1 but broken in 4.2 beta

i have a fairly complex app and see many layouts issues while adding/removing components dynamically.
they work well in 4.1.

will post the test cases as and when i get time and find out the issues

Ext.application({    name: 'MyApp',    launch: function () {        console.log('app launched');    },    appFolder: 'client/desktop/app',    controllers: [        'AppController',        'ChartController'    ]});

I'm having a similar problem, however I am using the 'paths' config value. When the application loads, it is still looking for the source files to be the /apps/model/ect... folder.

Basically, we don't have an apps folder. This was working for us in 4.1.0 and 4.1.1 but not in the 4.2 beta.

Ext.application({
    name                : 'QLP',
    paths                : {
        'Ext'                : '/javascript/extjs/src',
        'Ext.ux'            : '/javascript/extjs/examples/ux',
        'QLP'                : '.'
    },
    autoCreateViewport    : true
});

Thanks for reporting, I'll look into it.

Can't reproduce this in current codebase. There was a bunch of changes to MVC since Beta 1, so I probably fixed it along. The fixes will be available in nightly builds for 4.2 once they're available (should be shortly), and of course in the next beta.

I'm trying out Beta2 currently and things seem to be MUCH better. However I did notice a weird bug. It seems if you have some requires statements in the Ext.application config code, they are executed before the paths are resolved? Here is my code examples.

Ext.application({
    requires            : [
        'QLP.ux.window.DropDownMessage'
    ],
    name                : 'QLP',
    paths                : {
        'Ext'                : 'javascript/extjs/src',
        'Ext.ux'            : 'javascript/extjs/examples/ux',
        'QLP'                : 'javascript/crm2',
        'QLP.ux'            : '/apps/common/ux'
    },
    autoCreateViewport    : true,
   ...
});

Which gives me the following error in console:

GET http://www.extcrm.com:8010/QLP/ux/window/DropDownMessage.js?_dc=1357920129233 404 (Not Found) ext-all-dev.js:10275
Uncaught Error: [Ext.Loader] Failed loading 'QLP/ux/window/DropDownMessage.js', please verify that the file exists

However I reference other files that in the QLP.ux namespace later on in the application and it seems to find them correctly. Not sure if this is a timing issue or if the requires isn't aware of the paths config.

Thanks,
Tim

Huh, now that's definitely a bug. Thanks for spotting!

Hmm. Looks like this one is not as simple as it seemed. I'll have to shelf it; meanwhile you can work around this problem by calling Ext.Loader.setPath() before Ext.application(). Or, better yet, take a look at Sencha Cmd - that's the tool that is supposed to handle all pathing for you.

Yup, I'm using the Ext.Loader.setPath() workaround but wasn't sure if it was going to cause problems later on. Looks good so far. I'm also using Sencha Cmd but didn't want to have to run a build every time I make a change to source. Thanks for the tips.

I have the same error
It fixed if we add the path for the app in the paths config of the Ext.loader, ie:

Ext.Loader.setConfig({
disableCaching: false,
enabled: true,
paths: {
Ext: '.',
Sepp: 'app'
}
});

In version 4.1.3 it works..........but in 4.2 beta 2 it doesn´t work
