Sencha Cmd (windows) build error 'not a recognized Sencha SDK or application folder'

Question

I am having trouble getting Sencha Cmd to work. I tried to follow the instructions here and here.

My ExtJs directory is located at D:\Users\denni_000\bin\Sencha\Complete\1.0.3.25\ext-4.2.2-ent\ext-4.2.2.44

First, I installed Sencha Cmd to this directory: D:\Users\denni_000\bin\Sencha\Cmd\4.0.1.45

Next, I opened a command prompt at that directory, and ran the command:

sencha -sdk D:\Users\denni_000\bin\Sencha\Complete\1.0.3.25\ext-4.2.2-ent\ext-4.2.2.44 generate app Test E:\Test

So far, all seems okay. This generated a directory at E:\Test. I changed to the E:\Test directory in my command prompt, and ran the following command:

sencha app build

I got the following error:

[ERROR] The current working directory (e:\Test) is not a recognized Sencha SDK or application folder

I don't understand...didn't I just create that application folder? When I browse to the E:\Test directory, it looks the way I would expect it to look. It has the following directories:

• .sencha
• app
• build
• ext
• overrides
• packages
• sass

Each of the directories seems to be populated. The E:\Test directory also has the following files:

• app.js
• app.json
• bootstrap.css
• bootstrap.js
• bootstrap.json
• build.xml
• index.html
• Readme.md

Answer 1

I uninstalled and re-installed. That fixed the issue. Sean Fahey's answer may be worth looking into if you have this same problem.

Answer 2

I was running into this same issue, except on OS X, and the fix was to remove the reference to the old Sencha SDK Tools from my $PATH, like what Macy Abbey suggests in the question comment.

For Windows, you can edit the environment variables, here's how you get at those: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/path.xml but in case anyone on OS X needs an answer you can edit the $PATH by calling

vi ~/.bash_profile

from the Terminal. I commented out the lines that looked like this:

# export PATH=/Applications/SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3:$PATH
# export SENCHA_SDK_TOOLS_2_0_0_BETA3="/Applications/SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3"

The latest version of Sencha Cmd's variables were already present, and looked like

export PATH=/Users/username/bin/Sencha/Cmd/4.0.2.67:$PATH
export SENCHA_CMD_3_0_0="/Users/username/bin/Sencha/Cmd/4.0.2.67"

Then I ran

source ~/.bash_profile

to reload the values. I still had to open a new Terminal window to get the sencha command to run from the new location.
