Cordova and PhoneGap initialization failed on Sencha Command


I had installed PhoneGap through NodeJS CLI on my Ubuntu 13.10 and started native build process. However, during the initialization, this was the executed command and the respective output.

    $ sencha phonegap init com.foo.barapp BarApp
    Sencha Cmd v4.0.2.67
    [INF] 
    [INF] sencha-phonegap-init:
    [INF] 
    [INF] init-phonegap:

    [ERR] The following error occurred while executing this line:
    /opt/sencha/cmd/4.0.2.67/extensions/cmd-phonegap-packager/cmd-phonegap-packager.plugin.xml:131: The following error occurred while executing this line:
    jar:file:/opt/sencha/cmd/4.0.2.67/sencha.jar!/com/sencha/ant/antlib.xml:608: shellscript returned: 1

This same issued happened to Cordova.


Solution

  • The solution I found was redefine the env value set in phonegap.js:

        $ git diff phonegap.js
    
        $ diff --git a/lib/node_modules/phonegap/bin/phonegap.js b/lib/node_modules/phonegap/bin/phonegap.js
        index b6e469b..e1eb83f 100755
        --- a/lib/node_modules/phonegap/bin/phonegap.js
        +++ b/lib/node_modules/phonegap/bin/phonegap.js
        @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@
        -#!/usr/bin/env node
        +#!/usr/bin/env nodejs
    
        /*!
         * Module dependencies.eplace the interpreted value set at phonegap.js file.
    

    The same can be done to Cordova script.
