Cannot generate new Sencha app instance - "not recognized Sencha SDK folder"

[MagnerSanborn]

In terminal I have cd/ into my SDK I downloaded (latest version) as well as I have installed the latest SDK Tools and latest Sencha Cmd versions using the default install location. Everytime I try to create or generate an app, I get the error:

[ERROR] The current working directory (/FILEPATH) is not a valid SDK directory. Please 'cd' into a SDK directory before executing this command.

(I replaced the file path, that is not really where terminal is pointed.)


When I type the command while in the SDK directory:

$ sencha

I get the response:

[WARN] The current working directory (/Users/alexa/Documents/Alexa-WEB/Clients/MAGNER SANBORN/Site-webTests/app-frameworks/Sencha/touch-2.1.1) is not a recognized Sencha SDK or application folder. Running in backwards compatible mode.

Sencha Command v2.0.0 Beta 3

I have the latest 3.0 Cmd installed, so that's confusing already. I don't understand what the problem is, because I have tried various combinations of pointing my MAMP server to the SDK as well as interior folders, even the SDK tools application and Sencha Cmd installation. (I was desperate at that point lol)

I am using a Mac, MAMP, and the latest versions of the SDK, Tools and Cmd. I have tried the following commands:

$ sencha generate app...
$ sencha create app...
$ sencha app create...

Can anyone help? Thank you!

If you are using Sencha Touch 2.1.0, you should use Sencha Cmd not SDK Tools

If you are using Sencha Touch 2.1.0, you should use Sencha Cmd not SDK Tools

So I should uninstall the SDK tools 2.x that I have, point MAMP at my SDK I downloaded, and Cmd should work perfectly fine that way?

Yes
