Sencha Touch 2: Cannot find module `/sencha-sdk-dir/command/sencha.js` - sencha-touch-2

Question

I am on Arch Linux x64 with Sencha Touch 2 x64 installed. From the SDK directory, I ran ./sencha
[jiewmeng#JM SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3]$ ./sencha
[WARN] The current working directory (/opt/SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3) 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
See 'sencha help COMMAND' for more information on a specific command.
I fixed that by adding a file .senchasdk with just "." init (as I figued Google-ing), but now I get
[jiewmeng#JM SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3]$ ./sencha
node.js:201
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
^
Error: Cannot find module '/opt/SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3/command/sencha.js'
at Function._resolveFilename (module.js:332:11)
at Function._load (module.js:279:25)
at Array.0 (module.js:479:10)
at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:192:40)
Whats wrong?

Answer 1

I solve this problem just adding the SDK path as a System Variable, and the run the command inside the sencha library folder, not the SDK folder.

I was getting the same warning as:
[jiewmeng#JM SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3]$ ./sencha
[WARN] The current working directory (/opt/SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3) is not a recognized Sencha SDK or application folder. Running in backwards compatible mode.

Then I downloaded the Sencha-Touch-2.0.1.1-gpl and extracted the contents to my web-root (i.e., /var/www/sencha-touch-2.0.1.1), and lastly downloaded the SenchaSDKTools and installed it via terminal as root user as follows:
root#user:/your/directory/where yo downloaded the sdk tool# ./SenchaSDKTool-2.0.1-beta3.run
I then waited for the installer to unzip the file and selected the installation directory as same where I put the Sencha-Touch library and the we have the following:
root#user:/var/www/sencha-touch-2.0.1.1# ./sencha
Sencha Command v2.0.2

.. and that is it people happy coding in sencha :-)

#todotresde Could you please share a full recipe for how to configure this on a Mac OS X.
I've just downloaded and installed the Sencha SDK in the /Applications folder, but I would hate to populate that folder with Sencha applications as instructed in the SenchaDocs at
http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-0/#!/guide/command
cd /path/to/sencha-touch-2-sdk
sencha
The SDK install adds the SDK path variable to ~/.bash_profile
export PATH=/Applications/SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3:$PATH
export SENCHA_SDK_TOOLS_2_0_0_BETA3="/Applications/SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3"
I see some good pointers here:
http://www.sencha.com/learn/a-sencha-touch-mvc-application-with-phonegap/
As per a standard Sencha application architecture, download the SDK and then place (or symlink) it within the lib directory, named touch. We will be putting our own code in the app directory
IMPORTANT: When you are developing or experimenting, it's fine to simply place the whole SDK inside the lib folder like this. But when deploying, make sure that only the required JavaScript and CSS files remain in that folder, and remove the rest of the SDK. You do not want to compile and distribute the entire Sencha Touch SDK with your app.

First you add the SenchaSDK folder to you path,
export PATH=$PATH:/your/path/to/SenchaSDK
then you set the SENCHA_SDK_TOOLS_2_0_0_BETA3 environment variable,
export SENCHA_SDK_TOOLS_2_0_0_BETA3=/your/path/to/SenchaSDK
Now you go to your sencha library directory, like /your/path/to/sencha-touch-2.0.1.1, and you should be able to run the sencha command with no problem.
