Problem: Sencha SDK could not be recognized through cmd

Error:

[warn] the current working directory (c:\xampp\htdocs\sencha-touch-2.1.0-commercial) is not a recognized sencha sdk or application folder. running in backwards compatible mode.

Issue: The problem arises because of outdated cmd that Sencha use for creating, updating, packaging apps. Check the above command when entering sencha and it showing currently installed cmd version is:

sencha command v2.0.0 beta 3

Solution : Sencha command has been updated to v3.0.0 with more features like "generating" commands which was not supported in v2.0.0. Just download it from below link and install it (in the bin folder of SDK tools, not touch SDK). That's it. Now go to the Sencha touch folder and again through it run sencha. What will you get now is:

sencha cmd v3.0.0.250

You can also fire this command

$ sencha generate app gs ../gs

And it work too!

Note: Sencha didn't say that you needed to update Sencha cmd, but updated their documentation. Numerous people are facing this Sencha problem with no luck. Hope people get rid of it which took a complete night from me :)

About `DOWNLOAD IT FROM BELOW LINK`. You forget to provide link to install it. – Om3ga Dec 09 '12 at 11:39
great! really why it is not mentioned in the documents... thx a lot! – Leonid Jan 08 '13 at 11:25
that was a mistake & regretting for it. – CLEANSAFI Apr 16 '13 at 01:10
I'd like to add that you must uninstall and delete the Sencha folder from `X:\Users\**Username**\bin\Sencha` where X is your drive and Username is your username. – Dave Chen Jul 05 '13 at 03:19
Hi I am on IIS. And I want to know how and where I should extract the Sencha touch to. – bonCodigo Sep 05 '14 at 04:01

Follow just following steps:-

Download latest Sencha SDK http://www.sencha.com/products/touch/download/
Download latest Sencha Command line http://www.sencha.com/products/sencha-cmd/download
Install Sencha Command line default location in Windows is C:\Users\XXX\bin
After CMD Installation go to SDK folder install/extract in Step 1
Run following command (I am running this command using GIT Bash on windows)

/c/Users/SMAK/bin/Sencha/Cmd/3.0.0.250/sencha generate app MyApp ../MyApp

Note:- We need both Sencha SDK and CMD and you have to run Command from SDK Folder

thank the maker ! that worked. So far i was pulling my hairs out trying to use the SDK tools (which are absolute crap, because they use no registry information but for their install location). :D thank youuuu ! :D – lorddarq Dec 25 '12 at 11:58
I was having this issue on osx. One thing I would add is make sure you close your terminal sessions. Sometimes the path doesn't update and you run into the same error. Also if you have the 2.x tool install use the uninstaller before installing the CMD tool. – metric152 Jan 24 '13 at 23:31
I am on IIS. IIS works on all my .net projects. I even added the json to MMIM. I have gotten everything installed. **But I am not sure where to extract the touch-2.4.0.zip file.** can you let me know where? – bonCodigo Sep 05 '14 at 04:36

I had the same problem with Sencha Cmd. I solved this problem by uninstalling the "SenchaSDKTools".

As for me it works fine now.

export PATH=~/bin/Sencha/Cmd/ << your sencha cmd version >>  :$PATH

This may solve your problem. Sencha sometimes does not find new Sencha cmd path if it is created on other platforms or if the Sencha folder is created without the use of generate command.

I had the same problem. Downloaded the latest Sencha SDK and the latest SDK Tools on Windows, got this warning message.

The problem here was that the file .senchasdk was missing.

Simple solution: create an empty file called .senchasdk

Afterwards everything worked fine.
