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.

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.

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.

@Code_Cracker: When I experienced the exact same error codes as boggdan, I also tried your proposed solution, and some variations of it. I downloaded ExtJS and tried referencing it in various ways, placing it in different directories (with and without long paths containing spaces etc.). Nothing that I tried worked, except uninstalling Sencha CMD and installing it in the default location. – Tomas Eklund Oct 06 '14 at 16:04
@code4jhon: I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Java. Playing around with different versions (latest version, the slightly older version suggested by Sencha, 32-bit and 62-bit versions etc.). Actually, both Ruby and Java was in place and their locations added to the system Path variable. The only thing wrong was where I had elected to install Sencha CMD. Obviously, Sencha CMD does NOT like to be installed in the Program Files folder. – Tomas Eklund Oct 06 '14 at 16:06

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.

"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

...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
