Sencha Architect Linux distributions support

[petr.vecera]

Hello everyone

To summarize Linux support for SA releases.
There are no problems for Windows / OS X.

Sencha Architect 4.x - Should work on all major distributions. No issues reported.
Sencha Architect 3.5 - Should work on all major distributions. No issues reported.

Sencha Architect 3.2:
- Works on:

• Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
• Linux Mint 17.2
• Red Hat Workstation 7.2
• CentOS 7
• Other distributions and versions

- Does not work on:

• Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - Symptoms: You will get message that your account is expired even though you have full license or infinite login loading.
• Linux Mint 18

Sencha Architect 3.1:
- Works on:

• Linux Mint 17.2
• Red Hat Workstation 7.2
• CentOS 7
• Other distributions

- Does not work on:

• Ubuntu 14.04 - Symptoms: libxml error in console, you will get message that your account is expired even though you have full license.
• Ubuntu 16.04 - Symptoms: You will get message that your account is expired even though you have full license.

SA 3.1, 3.2 known issues:

• Error libudev.so.0 is not found. If you are on Debian based system run:
  

  sudo ln -sf /lib/$(arch)-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/$(arch)-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0

  If you are on RedHat based system run:
  

  sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libgudev-1.0.so.0 /usr/lib64/libudev.so.0

• The trial has expired on full license. Sometimes it can happen that the license file downloaded from the server become corrupted on download. When SA 3.1 and 3.2 detects corrupted file, it will display incorrectly that your license is expired. If the SA is on the list of supported distributions - you can try to log in several more times.

SA 3.5, 4.x known issues:

• SA starts with black screen (can happen in virtual-box due to faulty graphic card drivers), run SA with --disable-gpu:
  

  ./SenchaArchitect --disable-gpu

• Ubuntu 17+ might need libconfg-2.so.4

  sudo apt-get install libgconf-2-4

  
  
  
  

The problems of not-starting SA on some distributions are mostly caused by newer / missing libraries (some library for dealing with xml files specifically - it can't load the license file). Theoretically it should be possible to install the correct one. If you found any workarounds feel free to share them with us.

The workaround for these issues is to run SA in virtual environment with older Linux distribution version.

If you are running SA on some other distribution or SA does not run somewhere else, please share your experience with us. Thank you

Are possible update my version without problems to my project ?
Thanks.

You might have updated some libraries.

All the newer versions of SA are compatible with SA 3.2 projects. You should be able to use even SA 4 with your project. Only SA 4 no longer supports Touch.

As for the changes, the only thing which could be troubling is the change in newer Cmd. SA 3.5 is using newer Cmd because of Ext 6 support. The Cmd versions are again all backward compatible. But some users tend to keep older Cmd which works fine with their projects.

Theoretically you should be able to open your project with SA 3.5 without any problems. You can only hit problems if you upgrade your Ext version of the project.

You can have multiple SA version installed so just install newer SA, backup your project and try it. You can always go back.
But keep in mind that if you are working in a team you will all have to upgrade to the same SA version.

If the error still persists, you can try to disable file watcher:
Edit -> References -> File

It's just extra security feature which can be disabled without any significant effects.
