As a first optimization for:

https://github.com/geert-janklaps/cds-launchpad-plugin/blob/54912eb3b70a0904b1d53c1462385d73bb20fde7/src/index.ts#L15C3-L15C9

maybe something like:
main...GoWale:cds-launchpad-plugin:main

node_modules\cds-launchpad-plugin\src\index.ts:74:39

Shows sometimes and somitemens not...
Cause is that:

Sometime content is of type bytestream.
For me a single .toString() does the trick.

Am I the only one?

Hi,

the README should be updated to reflect the current state.

Cause the setup has changed:

• with using of the cds plugin system - the setup in server.js ist not required
• the option/setting for the launchpad have moved to cds.env...

hideLauncher (true/false): Indicates that an inbound must not be represented as a tile/link

This change would hide the tiles if they should not be shown on the launchpad

Unfortunately the documentation at cds-plugins is not yet released. But the GitHub repository for Capire is now online. So cds-plugins.md can be checked there. We also can follow how the cds-plugin-ui5 implement it.

Hi.
I have 4 CAP apps in the same project.

When I open the launchpad, 5 tiles are displayed instead of 4, the last one is duplicated.

cds-launchpad-plugin v2.2.0
node v18.19.0

How can I fix it?

Thanks.

With UI5 Tooling 3.0 the sapux section in the package.json is deprecated and no longer needed (see UI5 Tooling 3.0). Therefore, my CAP project didn't have the section. Unfortunately, without this section the plugin does not show any UI5 application.

Thanks to your blog post I could fix the issue. Is it possible to determine the UI5 applications another way? I think it is not wise to use deprecated mechanisms.

Nevertheless, thanks for the great work.

Hi,

in my option this plugin should not load at all if "cds mock XY" is called.

Because this plugin support the UI for the CAP application but is not required for mocked services.
Same issue as on the cds-plugin-ui5:
ui5-community/ui5-ecosystem-showcase#950

Hi there,

Changes are not reflected in the launchpad once it's made in the Fiori/UI5 app.
Have to restart the CAP local server to see the changes.

Thanks

Hi @geert-janklaps,

what do you think about adding a posibility to configure the renderers section in the template. In this example:

https://github.com/gregorwolf/bookshop-demo/blob/main/app/webapp/fiori-ui5-1.106.html#L12

you see how I've disabled the search functionality to avoid requests to InA and ESH_SEARCH_SRV.

Hi @geert-janklaps,

I would suggest to follow Short and Powerful: Convenient URLs for SAPUI5/OpenUI5 CDN and use ui5.sap.com instead of sapui5.hana.ondemand.com.

Hi @geert-janklaps,

I have a "reuse library" in my project, and I'm using cds-launchpad-plugin in combination with cds-ui5-plugin.

Now when I want to to use a resource MyResource from my.namespace.library from one of my applications (my.namespace.app1), it won't be able to load that resource (because it's trying to load from
https://ui5.sap.com/resources/my/namespace/library/MyResource.js which is the last resort).

I think two things would need to be changed to enable that use case:

1. cds-ui5-plugin should serve also libraries (as far as I understood, it does not do that at the moment).
2. cds-launchpad-plugin needs to add resourceroots to the UI5 bootstrap element in the sandbox launchpad.

But before I open an issue over at cds-ui5-plugin and try to create corresponding pull requests on both components, I first wanted to check with you (and other potential readers) if there's another solution I might have missed.

Hi @geert-janklaps,

maybe I've missed it in the documentation. Is there an option to define the launchpad that is by default available at /$launchpad as the default page (index.html)?

Best Regards
Gregor

Hi,
I have the requirement to start the Launchpad tiles in different subdirectories.

But the appConfigPath with my own config doesn_t work.

I used this code:
app.use(handler.setup({theme:'sap_horizon', version: '1.99.0', appConfigPath: '/fiori/appconfig/fioriSandboxConfig'}));

Is it possible to implement. If not, could you please adjust

in index.js line 149
// App URL
const url = /${element.replace(cds.env.folders.app, '')}/webapp;

my element 'main-app/app/backend' is replaced to /main-app/backend, but this is wrong. It should be: /main-app/app/backend

Thank you in advance.

Hi @geert-janklaps,

I try to follow the best practice described in UI5ers Buzz #54: I18n with supportedLocales and fallbackLocale configuration and added the following to my manifest.json:

{
    "_version": "1.45.0",
    "sap.app": {
        "id": "environments",
        "type": "application",
        "i18n": {
            "bundleUrl": "i18n/i18n.properties",
            "supportedLocales": [
                "en"
            ],
            "fallbackLocale": "en"
        },

Unfortunately that causes this error:

ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/app/environments/webapp/[object Object]'
    at Object.openSync (node:fs:600:3)
    at Object.readFileSync (node:fs:468:35)
    at /node_modules/cds-launchpad-plugin/src/index.ts:93:31
    at Array.forEach (<anonymous>)
    at cds_launchpad_plugin.prepareAppConfigJSON (/node_modules/cds-launchpad-plugin/src/index.ts:73:25)
    at /node_modules/cds-launchpad-plugin/src/index.ts:34:34
    at Layer.handle [as handle_request] (/node_modules/express/lib/router/layer.js:95:5)
    at trim_prefix (/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:328:13)
    at /node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:286:9
    at Function.process_params (/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:346:12)

I would suggest to look by default for:

let i18nPath = cds.root + '/' + element + '/webapp/' + manifest["sap.app"].i18n.bundleUrl;

and fallback only when empty to the current implementation. What do you think?

Best Regards
Gregor

With #9 we've added Support for the manifest.json config sap.app.i18n.bundleUrl. But in cap-sflight the i18n configuration is done with bundleName. I've tried adding cds-launchpad-plugin with the commit gregorwolf/cap-sflight@53e0414 but get the following error when I access the Launchpad:

[cds] - ❗️Uncaught Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/gwolf/Documents/Projects/cap/cap-sflight/app/travel_processor/webapp/undefined'
    at Object.openSync (node:fs:582:18)
    at Object.readFileSync (node:fs:461:35)
    at /Users/gwolf/Documents/Projects/cap/cap-sflight/node_modules/cds-launchpad-plugin/dist/index.js:199:57

The error occurs as bundleUrl is used without checking to be undefined.

I haven't found bundleName in the documentation Supported Locales and Fallback Chain. In Descriptor for Applications, Components, and Libraries (manifest.json) I find it only in the context of models. So I think the use in cap-sflight is incorrect.

But if you agree I will add a check that sap.app.i18n.bundleUrl is not undefined.

If the ui5 apps are written in Typescript this plugin does not seem to work for me. Maybe I am missing some setting?
I use the cds-plugin-ui5 plugin which ties the ui5 build system (typescript compile etc) into cds watch. It seems the setup of cds-launchpad-plugin runs before that process kicks in and there is no Component.js yet.
