How to use the 'overrides' folder generated by Sencha cmd for an Ext JS 4 project

I have generated a project using Sencha cmd. This creates a nice folder named 'overrides' where I have put my overridden Ext.Ajax class. I then include it in my app.js file like so

requires: [
    'overrides.Ajax'
]

This works just fine when using my app, however when I try to build it using Sencha cmd I get the following error:

[ERR] BUILD FAILED
[ERR] com.sencha.exceptions.BasicException: The following error occurred while e
xecuting this line:
[ERR] Z:\public_html\LoginScreen\.sencha\app\build-impl.xml:469: com.sencha.exce
ptions.ExBuild: com.sencha.exceptions.ExBuild: Failed to find any files for Z:\p
ublic_html\LoginScreen\app\app.js::ClassRequire::overrides.Ajax

Does anyone know how to properly include files that are inside the overrides folder?

Solution

  • Turns out I needed to edit the .sencha/app/sencha.cfg file, adding the following to the end of the app.classpath

    ,${app.dir}/overrides
