Error in cocos command

cocos2d-x
#1

I have installed Cocos2d-x for android in windows. And I have run the setup.py file successfully.
When I tried to check if I did it all ok, I restarted my PC as I was asked to and open the cmd,
I tried the command, cocos just to check if its ok and I got this error:

C:\Users\Gilad>cocos
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Gilad\AppData\Local\Programs\cocos2d-x-3.12\tools\cocos2d-console\bin\/cocos.py", line 22, in <module>
    import cocos_project
  File "C:\Users\Gilad\AppData\Local\Programs\cocos2d-x-3.12\tools\cocos2d-console\bin\cocos_project.py", line 4, in <module>
    import cocos
  File "C:\Users\Gilad\AppData\Local\Programs\cocos2d-x-3.12\tools\cocos2d-console\bin\cocos.py", line 935, in <module>
    locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')  # use user's preferred locale
  File "C:\Users\Gilad\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python27\lib\locale.py", line 581, in setlocale
    return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting

I know that this solution should solve it: Cocos2d-x v3.9 released!
But it doesn’t work for windows.
Anyone know how can I fix it in windows?

Is this your first install? Can you upgrade to 3.17.1?

#3

Yes it is the first time I’m installing cocos2d-x.
I can upgrade, but I read that if I want to develop my game in visual studio I have to use v3.12. So should I upgrade?

#4

Yes upgrade. What you read is old.
What locale is your system?

How are you getting Cocos? Zip from our website or cloning our GitHub repo?

#5

I’m getting it as zip from the website,
I will try to read about the locale settings and change them. I think I can do that from the control panel.

#6

When I’m running the setup.py for the v3.17 I’m getting this error:
->Error: "C:\Users\Gilad\AppData\Local\Programs\android\sdk" is not a valid path of ANDROID_SDK_ROOT. Ignoring it.

Although when I’m running ‘cocos’ in the cmd it works fine. Isn’t it strange?

Sorry for bothering you but I’m very new to this :smile:

#7

Where is your Android sdk located?

cocos command relies on python. Unless a cocos compile is working for you?

Does running cocos new work?

#8

My SDK is locted in “C:\Users\Gilad\AppData\Local\Programs\android\sdk”
And I will check for the rest in a few hours. Thank you for helping!

#9

on my Linux and Macs, I have these defined:

export NDK_ROOT="/usr/local/share/android-ndk"
export ANDROID_NDK_HOME="/usr/local/share/android-ndk"
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT="/Users/dubb/Library/Android/sdk"

Perhaps it will help define for windows. @mars3142 probably uses windows and he knows his Android backwards and forwards. Perhaps he can clarify paths.

I’m sorry. My working device is a MacBook Pro. I do have Windows in Parallels installed, but not for Android. And because the error is from setup.py, if I understand the report from @giladk correct, it wouldn’t be an Android issue per se.

I checked the setup.py and there seems to be two checks. The first one checks for ndk-build.cmd and the second one is looking for android.bat. Your error is because of the missing android.bat file. Please check you do have a android.bat in the ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools folder.

But because of the error, I’ll bet the file is missing. So my advice: Reinstall the Android SDK

@slackmoehrle Any other ideas?

#11

I can try a virtual machine and see how our instructions are working. Perhaps we need more documentation about Android on Windows.

#12

guys I can’t exactly setup my cocos2d-x in setup.py. it says that the file I have isn’t the android sdk even after I downloaded android sdk and the studio. what file exactly is the android sdk?

#13

We need a lot more info than that :slight_smile: @Jackob_Abiy

#14

i just want to know that I am installing the right sdk from the android developer website. I down loaded it from the part where it says"sdk command line tools ". thanks

#15

How would we know what you are doing?

Please use our docs: https://docs.cocos2d-x.org/cocos2d-x/en/installation/Android-Studio.html
