Help! Can't build ExtJS 6.2 app after upgrading to 6.5

[tlloyduk]

Hi there,

I had an Ext JS 6.2 classic app and I've upgraded to Sencha Cmd 6.5.0.180 and upgraded the framework with: sencha app upgrade path/to/ext6.5.0:

>sencha app upgrade ../ext-6.5.0Sencha Cmd v6.5.0.180
[INF] Upgrading framework ext
[INF] Copying framework to C:\wamp\www\ussportal\ext

[INF] Framework 'ext' upgraded

sencha -v on the command line shows: Sencha Cmd v6.5.0.180

I can no longer build my classic app and instead a build fails almost immediately with:

>sencha app build --clean development
Sencha Cmd v6.5.0.180
[INF] Processing Build Descriptor : default (development environment)
[INF] Loading compiler context

I have also tried upgrading via Sencha Architect 4.2 and I get a more verbose error log. Pretty much at a loss here as I can't seem to find any other instructions for migrating to 6.5.

[tlloyduk]

OK made a little bit of progress, if I remove the reference to my custom theme (made with Sencha Themer) then it will now build as expected. Now to figure out how to use the custom theme with 6.5.... any thoughts ?

[tlloyduk]

I updated to Themer 1.2, removed the theme from my project and re-added it. I also tried exporting it as a zip from Themer and adding it again but it always results in the following.

Any thoughts ?

Final update - I created a new theme in Themer 1.2 and imported that into my 6.5 project and it is now building without errors. Shame I've not been able to carry over my old theme but at least I'm back up and running

Hi tlloyduk,
Thank you for your feedback.
I have the same Problem. How exactly have you created a new Theme and imported this to your App?

Thank You.

[tlloyduk]

Hi Mathew

Actually someone on the Slack group suggested you can use:

sencha package upgrade
sencha package build

(https://docs.sencha.com/cmd/guides/a...ackage_upgrade)

.....to fix the theme. I had already recreated a new one but perhaps you'd want to try this first.

Creating a new one was a case of upgrading the framework version for the project first, then going in to Themer and creating a new theme. Publish the theme to a new folder and then import it (Architect or app.json)

[MathewGerard]

Hi tlloyduk,

Thank you for your Answer!

I have tried both tips but had no success.

1. There is an error after the command: "sencha package build":
1.JPG

2.
- I have Created a new theme with Theamer
- exported this as zip file
- unpacked the folder to /packaged/local
- changed the theme property in app.js

After "sencha app build" or "sencha app refresh" i get this error:
2.jpg


Any help appreciated

Thanks

[skoldrh]

I am also having the same problem and getting the same error. I did exactly what Mathew did with the same results along with doing the sencha package upgrade and sencha package build (same error when doing either a sencha app build or refresh.

Any more ideas to try on this and is there something else in the app.json that needs to change besides the "theme" name?

Thanks

[tlloyduk]

Does your project build if you remove your custom theme ?

[skoldrh]

Yes it does
