Sencha CMD Error “Did not locate framework package”

Question

I'm new to Sencha and I just installed Sencha CMD. Following Sencha's instructions I type the following on the command line:

sencha generate app -ext MyApp ./app

But all I get is this error message:

C:\SenchaCMD\Sencha>sencha generate app -ext MyApp ./app
Sencha Cmd v5.0.1.231
[WRN] Did not locate framework package
[ERR] java.lang.NullPointerException
     at com.sencha.util.PathUtil.normalizePathCharacters
     ...
     ...
     at com.sencha.command.Sencha.main(Sencha.java:141)

I've searched the internet for the error message and haven't found anything.

Answer 1

Try below command to generate sencha app.

sencha -sdk F:/touch-2.3.0 generate app Test-app .(Dot represent current directory)

sdk is the path to your touch library.

Test-app is your app name.

Answer 2

I had the exact same problem.

I had installed Sencha Cmd in a non-standard folder (within C:\Program Files (x86)\). Uninstalling Sencha Cmd and reinstalling it in the default folder (C:\Users\<UserName>\bin\) made the error go away.

Answer 3

You need to run it with the ExtJS sdk path. In my case, the just downloaded ExtJS sdk:

sencha -sdk "C:\Users\username\Downloads\ext-5.1.1-trial\ext-5.1.1" generate app -ext MyApp ./app

It also need administrators right if you installed it in the ProgramFile Folder. Run your console with administator rights.

Answer 4

"Did not locate framework package"

You should run this command from inside of touch-2.3.1 folder.

[ERR] java.lang.NullPointerException

run java -version looks like you are missing java

Answer 5

...and as a linux user, the same error appears if you install sencha command via sudo. You shouldn't do that.

so just run

guy@idoru:~$ chmod +x SenchaCmd-<version>-linux-x64.run
guy@idoru:~$ ./SenchaCmd-<version>-linux-x64.run

instead of

guy@idoru:~$ sudo ./SenchaCmd-<version>-linux-x64.run
