Sencha Cmd build - Failed creating background process
Solution 1
It's a really annoying bug in Sencha CMD 5 - they swallow the output of any processes they launch.
Or, more accurately, they route the output to the debug logs. So you can see what's going on if you turn debug logging on. Try sencha -d app build
- just be prepared to trawl through a lot of output.
Solution 2
Same issues with EXT5.0 + EXT CMD Vers. 5.1.2.52
(causing EXT CMD cannot start RUBY)
It hangs with Error:
[ERR] com.sencha.exceptions.ExProcess: Failed creating background process
My Solution on Windows (Here Win7, 64Bit):
1) install Ruby (in my Case 1.9.3)
2) Set %PATH% in System Settings to Ruby´s EXE. (in my case c:\ruby193\bin)
3) Restart CMD window
4) Try again
That solves my problem.
Solution 3
Sencha cmd requires ruby which might be a problem to why it can't create a (ruby) background builder of some sort.
Solution 4
On Linux: Please ensure that the missing libs are installed (ruby, rubygems, freetype, fontconfig)

I'm trying to build extjs5 application with Cmd v5.0.0.160.
I have ruby2.0 installed and sencha cmd on my PATH var.
Here is the error that I get when running
sencha app build
:... [INF] Capturing theme image [ERR] [ERR] BUILD FAILED [ERR] com.sencha.exceptions.ExProcess: Failed creating background process [ERR] at com.sencha.command.plugin.PluginManager.executeRe [ERR] verseFirst(PluginManager.java:134) [ERR] [ERR] Total time: 9 seconds [ERR] The following error occurred while executing this line: /local/dev/PROJECTS2/loc-ext/loc-ext/.sencha/app/build-impl.xml:326: The following error occurred while executing this line: /local/dev/PROJECTS2/loc-ext/loc-ext/.sencha/app/slice-impl.xml:239: The following error occurred while executing this line: /local/dev/PROJECTS2/loc-ext/loc-ext/.sencha/app/slice-impl.xml:240: The following error occurred while executing this line: /local/dev/PROJECTS2/loc-ext/loc-ext/.sencha/app/slice-impl.xml:111: com.sencha.exceptions.ExProcess: Failed creating background process
The application is working OK in development mode (sencha app watch).
Since it looks like it's about themes, I'm not using custom theme but ext-theme-neptune.
Does anybody have a clue what is it about? I will appreciate any idea!
Solution:
The debug mode showed that the problem was in missing directory
Cmd/5.0.0.160/bin/linux-x64
. However there wasCmd/5.0.0.160/bin/linux
dir, therefor soft-linkinglinux
tolinux-x64
fixed the issue. -
vadchen almost 10 yearsAh, shame on me for not checking debug log. Apparently there were a dir missing
Cmd/5.0.0.160/bin/linux-x64
. Thanks. -
gm2008 about 9 yearsYes, this is the reason in my case as well. I am using Ubuntu. After I installed Ruby in Ubuntu Software Center, the error is gone.
