Sencha App Upgrade Issue: Must be run from App folder

Question

I am trying to run an update of an old Sencha Touch app using Sencha CMD, however when I try to run it from the App folder (which I assume is right due to it having all the requirements) I am getting an error returned:

"[ERR] Command must be run from an app folder"

Here's the contents of the folder where I am executing the command:

Answer 1

"[ERR] Command must be run from an app folder"

This error means that .sencha folder is missing in directory, So check properly and add it.

Answer 2

you're not in the sencha app project folder inside. you need to run that command inside the sencha app folder.
