Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Generate Scaffolding for openui5 webapp using yo easy-ui5
2. Select Static Webserver

The UI5.yaml should not have middleware dependencies to CF(Specific: cf-destination)

What happens instead?
The ui5.yaml metadata uses a middleware configuration to cf-destionation, although it was not part of the package.json. This missing dependency prevents server from starting.

If you think this is an issue of the UI5 Tooling, you might report it using the following URL: https://github.com/SAP/ui5-tooling/issues/new/choose

Easy-Ui5 version:

3.2.2

OS/version:

Kubuntu 21.04

Steps to reproduce the problem:

Run yo easy-ui5

What is the expected result?

Further prompts to create a project

What happens instead?

Displays error Unexpected token '.'

Any other information? (attach screenshot if possible)

Easy-Ui5 version: 2.1.0

What is the expected result?
Generate neo-app templates by running the generators like
yo easy-ui5:worklist to get the WebIDE templates. It will ask for server details (and other info similar to the templating wizard) and generate the worklist and object views.

I have plans to create all the neo-app generators including the Fiori Elements ones. Let me know if this is a direction you intend to explore or is this only for CF.

Easy-Ui5 version: 1.2.0

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Generate for CF wirh html5-repo

What is the expected result?
mta.yaml in main directory, fiori app with ui5.yaml in subdirectory, so additional fiori apps can be added in further subdirectories beneath main directory (this is the idea of the html5-repo usage anyway, ie to hve more than one fiori app)

What happens instead?
mta.yaml and ui5.yaml end up in same directory, second fiori app can't be added easily.

Easy-Ui5 version:
1.3.3

OS/version:
Win 10

Browser/version (+device/version):
n/a

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. "yo easy-ui5"

{
  "generator-easy-ui5": {
    "projectname": "myApp",
    "namespace": "com.me",
    "platform": "Application Router @ Cloud Foundry",
    "viewtype": "XML",
    "viewname": "View",
    "ui5libs": "Content delivery network (SAPUI5)",
    "newdir": false,
    "namespaceURI": "com.me"
  }
}

2. "npm run start"
   fails with error:
   xs-app.json/routes/0: Format validation failed (approuter\webapp is not a directory)

3. "npm run deploy"
   works fine

What is the expected result? What happens instead?

When I change localDir in approuter/xs-app.json as follows:
"localDir": "../webapp"
"npm run start" runs successfully but "npm run deploy" fails while starting the deployed app.

Possible solution

"npm run start" works fine with an empty approuter/webapp folder. So maybe this could be created during the generation process.

The content of the approuter/webapp folder should not be in the git repo, so maybe this can be added to .gitignore by default.

When using easy-ui5 generator, currently it generates a blank SAPUI5 application.
Personally I think it would be nice to have the templates available which for example are available in Web IDE:

I would definitely save some time when creating a new project based on Fiori Elements

I created a custom generator to generate an initial template for UI5 library development. (more info here)
Initially I was thinking, library development is quite different from regular app development. So wasn't planning on proposing to integrate this functionality in the Easy UI5 Generator. But I got some questions / remarks on Twitter to get this functionality integrated within the Easy UI5 Generator.
Is this an option to integrate this functionality in the Easy UI5 Generator?
Is this a direction you want to take with this project?

It will probably require quite some adaptions to the project, since the project structure of a library is quite different from an app (namespaced folder structure).
So before doing a deep-dive in the possibilities of integrating this functionality, I'd like to hear you opinion on this topic.

Easy-Ui5 version:1.3.1
yo version: 3.1.1
Cloud MTA Build Tool version 1.0.12
MultiApps Cloud Foundry CLI Plugin version: 2.3.1
GNU Make version: 3.81
OS/version: Windows 10

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Create new app using yo easy-ui5. Use the following parameters:

• myUI5App
• com.myorg
• Application Router @ Cloud Foundry
• XML
• MainView
• Content delivery network (SAPUI5)
• Yes

2. Run npm run build:mta or npm run deploy
3. I get the error:

What is the expected result?
The app builds and deploys straight after the scaffolding.

What happens instead?
I get an error when building the mtar

Any other information?
Running mbt build works, and I can deploy the mtar to CF and it works.

Easy-Ui5 version:
1.3.7

OS/version:
Windows -> but running generator on docker image (Ubuntu)

Browser/version (+device/version):
Latest Chrome

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Generate an OpenUI5 app with the generator
2. Run the app in a container
3. Execute tests with "npm run test"

What is the expected result?
Successful execution of tests.

What happens instead?
Chrome cannot be started. Failed with error "ChromeHeadless stderr: Failed to move to new namespace: PID namespaces supported, Network namespace supported, but failed: errno = Operation not permitted".

Any other information? (attach screenshot if possible)
The error appearing is a well known error when executing Chrome headless in a docker container. For that the "--no-sandbox" flag needs to be set. I guess you have considered that already in karam-ci.conf.js file (https://github.com/SAP/generator-easy-ui5/blob/master/generators/app/templates/karma-ci.conf.js) by defining a custom launcher ChromeHeadlessNoSandbox, but the "browsers" setting is set to "ChromeHeadless".
Should this set by default to "ChromeHeadlessNoSandbox" (as the solution here) or do you want to add some configurations to choose which launcher is executed (I don't think so). Here is the relevant code from the linked file:
browsers: ["ChromeHeadless"], customLaunchers: { ChromeHeadlessNoSandbox: { base: "ChromeHeadless", flags: [ "--no-sandbox", // required to run without privileges in docker "--user-data-dir=/tmp/chrome-test-profile", "--disable-web-security" ] } },
I guess that the browsers array should be set to ChromeHeadlessNoSandbox by default.

Easy-Ui5 version: 1.3.0

OS/version: any

Browser/version (+device/version): any

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Create a new UI5 project

What is the expected result?
The generator creates a project with included BaseController. All generated view controller extend this BaseController.

What happens instead?
No BaseController exists in a new generated project

Any other information? (attach screenshot if possible)
What do you think about adding a BaseController to the template for creating a UI5 app, with basic functionality.
If you like, I would do the work on that.

Hello all,

Are there any plans in supporting GitLab? Just like the orgs on GitLab, we should be able to add the information to connect to GitLab.
At my project we would like to use the easy-ui5 generator for generating our Fiori App/Lib projects, but we need to be able to add our specific linting rules and CI/CD pipeline information.

This is off course possible with GitHub, but unfortunately my customer is using GitLab as git-repository and thus, octokit isn't an option. However, GitLab also has a very good rest api and I found following npm package which provides octokit-like functionality for GitLab.

Is this a use-case that would be interesting for the generator in the future? Or do you see problems if we'd integrate these options?

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

And thanks for this amazing utility!

Kind regards,

Robin

Mac Users Only

When global node_modules are being installed to /usr/local/lib, Easy-UI5 will fail to download and store the templates in the global NPM package and the following error occurs:

Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/path/to/project/ProjectName'
at Error (native)
at Object.fs.mkdirSync (fs.js:799:18)

To overcome the issue, the permissions for the Easy-UI5 NPM package in the global NPM modules need to be changed to rwx for everyone with the following command: chmod ugo+rwx /usr/local/lib/node_modules/generator-easy-ui5.

We should consider to provide a proper error message or use another location to install the templates to.

Dear colleagues,

when I run yo easy-ui5:opa5 for my project with name sap.ui.demo.cart.controller I get the error message:

Please use alpha numeric characters only for the project name.

This restriction is difficult for FIORI development, projects follow the name pattern
area.subarea.*

e.g. fin.ar.bankstatement.manage

Is it possible to soften this project name check ?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Stefan

Using the generator for a Netweaver application does not produce the localService folder nor the "start-local" task in package.json. It would be great to have the possibility to add a service metadata.xml and service data in a .json file to be able to run the app locally without backend server.

Among other cases, this would help create examples people can download and run without having to create the backend service in an SAP System.

Hello,

From the working directory of my CAP app root I run yo easyui5.
After the wizard I end up with 'com.me.myui5app'.
Then I do mv com.me.myui5app app. As cds will serve what's in the app directory.
It works well and I can run the app after cds serves it with https://localhost:4004/webapp.

Is that the best practice? Or should I end up with index.html in the cds' app directory without webapp.

Easy-Ui5 version: 1.3.1

I like to contribute a template for generating custom tiles.

This blog on SCN described how to add custom tiles. In comparison to standard UI5 apps, the code structure is a little bit different and can be reduced a lot. For instance the router property in the manifest is not necessary.

What is the expected result?

• A new template command which generates a custom tile, similar to the UI5 app template.

I like to ask if this is a feature which is worth to add and if it fits to the roadmap of this tool?

$ uname -a
Linux X 5.4.85-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Dec 21 21:38:53 UTC 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Browser/version (+device/version):
Not applicable

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Generate a new project
2. Build an MTAR with npx mbt build
3. Deploy to cloudfoundry using cf deploy mta_archives/MyApp_0.0.1.mtar
4. Open the deployed app on https://XXX.hana.ondemand.com/

What is the expected result?

• Opening the URL immediately displays whatever app i've build

What happens instead?

• The browser shows 'Not found', with a 404 header
• Opening https://XXX.hana.ondemand.com/uimodule/uimodule.zip downloads a zip-file containing the contents of my app

Any other information? (attach screenshot if possible)
Running npx mbt build in my project's root dir results in the following files in my project:

approuter
`-- webapp
    |-- resources
    |   |-- sap
    |   |   |-- ...
    |   |-- jquery.sap.act-dbg.js
    |   |-- jquery.sap.act.js
    |   |-- etc...
    `-- uimodule.zip

In uimodule/ui5.yaml there is a small section with a ui5-task-zipper

builder:
  customTasks:
    - name: ui5-task-zipper
      afterTask: uglify
      configuration:
        archiveName: uimodule

when I disable this part, I no longer get a zip in my approuter deployment and the apps works as I would expect

Easy-Ui5 version: v2.2.3

OS/version: Windows 10

Browser/version (+device/version): n/a

Steps to reproduce the problem:

• yo easy-ui5:uiveri5
• Seems like this project has not been generated with Easy-UI5. Please enter the name of your project: uiveri5
• URL to the app under test: http://localhost:8080
• Choose authentication: SAP Fiori
• Name for the suite (describe block): masterdetail
• Name for the spec (it block): should see the app
• Choose additional reporters:
• Do you want to add a page object? Yes
• Page object name: Master
• Add action with name (empty string to skip actions): iSelectBook
• Add assertion with name (empty string to skip assertions): iShouldSeeBook

What is the expected result?
My expectation is that only one spec file is generated that refers to the page object.

What happens instead?
2 spec files are generated (one refers to the page object, the other not):

create uiveri5\masterdetail.spec.js
create uiveri5\.npmignore
create uiveri5\conf.js
create uiveri5\README.md
create uiveri5\package.json
create uiveri5\pages\master.js
create uiveri5\masterExample.spec.js

Any other information? (attach screenshot if possible)

On trying to generate a project using the command yo easy-ui5 it ran into an error as Unexpected token '.'

Easy-Ui5 version:
2.2.1

OS/version:
macOS 10.15.7

Browser/version (+device/version):
N/A

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Use generator-easy-ui5 to scaffold a new UI5 application.
2. Files in uimodule/webapp that are not executable are marked as executable.

What is the expected result?
Non-executable files should not have the executable bit set.

What happens instead?
As above

Any other information? (attach screenshot if possible)
The following files in the repo are executable and do not need to be:

./generators/newwebapp/templates/uimodule/webapp/index.html
./generators/newwebapp/templates/uimodule/webapp/css/style.css
./generators/newwebapp/templates/uimodule/webapp/Component.js
./generators/newwebapp/templates/uimodule/webapp/model/models.js
./generators/newwebapp/templates/uimodule/webapp/manifest.json
./generators/newwebapp/templates/uimodule/webapp/i18n/i18n.properties

Happy to send a pull request to fix this.

OS/version: windows 10 (Node.js - 10.14.2, npm - 6.4.2)

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. run command npm i -g yo generator-easy-ui5
   

My CI builds started failing today because:

• I added this as a devdependency
• post install is hitting github which has a 60 request per hour rate limit on unauthenticated PI calls (generators/app/postinstall.js)

  const octokit = new Octokit({
    userAgent: "generator-easy-ui5",
  });

  const reqBranch = await octokit.repos.getBranch({
    owner: ghOrg,
    repo: repoName,
    branch,
  });

I fixed it removing it as a dependency, leaving this message for posterity

Easy-Ui5 version: Latest

OS/version: Docker

Browser/version (+device/version): Chrome

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Create an empty template (I used the one for Cloud Foundry HTML5 repository)
2. Inside docker container run: npm run test

What is the expected result?
That the Karma tests succeed

What happens instead?
Karma / docker throws an error that the tests are not allowed to run without the --no-sandbox parameter

Any other information? (attach screenshot if possible)
This can be solved by adapting the file karma-ci.conf.js so it reflects (this change doesn't seem to impact running the tests locally in VS Code):

module.exports = function(config) {
	require("./karma.conf")(config);
	config.set({

		// test results reporter to use
		// possible values: 'dots', 'progress', 'coverage'
		// available reporters: https://npmjs.org/browse/keyword/karma-reporter
		reporters: ['progress'],

		// start these browsers
		// available browser launchers: https://npmjs.org/browse/keyword/karma-launcher
		browsers: ['ChromeHeadlessNoSandbox'],
                customLaunchers: {
                       ChromeHeadlessNoSandbox: {
                              base: 'ChromeHeadless',
                              flags: [
                                       '--no-sandbox', // required to run without privileges in docker
                                       '--user-data-dir=/tmp/chrome-test-profile',
                                       '--disable-web-security'
                             ]
                      }
                },

		// Continuous Integration mode
		// if true, Karma captures browsers, runs the tests and exits
		singleRun: true

	});
};

Easy-Ui5 version: v2.2.3

OS/version: Windows 10

Browser/version (+device/version): n/a

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Run yo easy-ui5:uiveri5
2. Choose authentication: SAP Fiori

What is the expected result?
A valid conf.js file is generated

What happens instead?
After the baseUrl, there are two "," instead of one ",":
baseUrl: "http://localhost:8080",,

Any other information? (attach screenshot if possible)

exports.config = {
  profile: "integration",
  baseUrl: "http://localhost:8080",,

      pass: "${params.pass}"
    }
  }
};

Easy-Ui5 version:
any

OS/version:
any

Browser/version (+device/version):
any

Steps to reproduce the problem:

• generate a new project
  or
• add a new view

What is the expected result?
File names of views and controllers should follow the naming rules of other ui5 apps. For example https://github.com/SAP/openui5-sample-app/tree/master/webapp/view is created as App.view.xml

What happens instead?

The generated files are prefixed with the viewtype: XMLApp.view.xml

Easy-Ui5 version: 3.0.0

OS/version: Windows 10

Browser/version (+device/version): Latest Edge/Chrome

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Start generator via yo easy-ui5
2. What do you want to do? Create a new OpenUI5/SAPUI5 project
3. How do you want to name this project? myUI5App
4. Which namespace do you want to use? com.myorg
5. On which platform would you like to host the application? SAP NetWeaver
6. Which view type do you want to use? XML
7. Where should your UI5 libs be served from? Content delivery network (SAPUI5)
8. Would you like to create a new directory for the project? Yes

What is the expected result?

Since i did not enter any information and went with the default values for all questions i expected that i could start the project via npm start and get a empty UI5 application starting in my default browser.

What happens instead?

Browser dev tools console was complaining that some models.js file could not be loaded so i looked into the generated source and found the bug. The generator puts wrong values for all namespaces in. If i replace this with the default namespace com.myorg.myUI5App the app starts as expected and i get no error (despite the normal missing i18n and component-preload stuff).

In detail these are the files where i needed to replace the wrong namespace:

• index.html -> ui5-project:newwebapp.myUI5App
• manifest.json -> ui5-project:newwebapp
• Component.js -> ui5-project:newwebapp
• BaseController.js -> ui5-project:newwebapp
• MainView.xml -> ui5-project:newview
• MainView.controller.js -> ui5-project:newview

Any other information? (attach screenshot if possible)

Easy-Ui5 version: 2.4.2

OS/version: macOS 11.1

Browser/version (+device/version): -doesn't apply-

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. yo easy-ui5

  ? How do you want to name this project? myUI5App
  ? Which namespace do you want to use? com.myorg
  ? On which platform would you like to host the application? Application Router @ Cloud Foundry
  ? Which view type do you want to use? XML
  ? How do you want to name your main view? MainView
  ? Where should your UI5 libs be served from? Content delivery network (OpenUI5)
  ? Would you like to create a new directory for the project? (Y/n) No

3. npm run deploy
   ...all fine, local build executes, upload + deployment works...
4. opening https://$appid.cfapps.eu10.hana.ondemand.com/
   redirects to
   https://$appid.cfapps.eu10.hana.ondemand.com/uimodule/index.html
   and fails with 404 Not found

What is the expected result?
see the bare bones ui5 app running on cf

What happens instead?
http 404 - not found

Any other information? (attach screenshot if possible)
reason is that in /uimodule/ui5.yaml, a custom builder task is defined to zip up the result of ui5 build.
the uimodule.zip then ends up as /approuter/uimodule/webapp/uimodule.zip and upon deployment to cf doesn't get extracted automatically, but stays as is (as a zip).

possible remedies:

• remove custom zip build task from ui5.yaml for project type "Application Router @ Cloud Foundry"
  or
• add an unzip operation to /mta.yaml for deployment of project type "Application Router @ Cloud Foundry"

Easy-Ui5 version:

Targetting as a cloud foundry application

We are develop the ui5 project using yomen generator (easy ui5) and trying to deploy the app using npm run deploy but it did not deploy the app and gives the error "Error: Operation Existing Transport Determination for BSP Container: Expected status code 200, actual status code 403".

After investigation we came to know that issue is at the line no. 80:
fnCallback(new Error(Operation Existing Transport Determination: Expected status code ${fsutil.HTTPSTAT.ok}, actual status code ${oResponse.statusCode}));
it is not passing the credentials and coming back with mentioned error.

Please help us to resolve the issue.

I'm sorry to hear that easy-ui5 generated broken files. Please report this issue directly in the repository for the plugin that you used. You can find all plugins in the UI5 Community organization.

Here are a few direct links to some plugins:

• UI5 Project
• UI5 Library
• UI5 Control

Hi,

it would be very helpful to also add a portal site to the generator for the generated UI5 app. This would allow to spin up a FLP with the generated app as tile in SCP easily.

Most of the topics are already taken care of in the Cloud Foundry HTML5 Application Repository, only some smaller parts would need to be added:

• Portal-Content + Portal as Ressources and their bindings
• Portal-Content Module Folder for the Site with package.json and site
• changes in approuter/xs-app.json, e.g. /cp.portal as welcomeFile

References

• Public Portal Documentation
• Sample Repo

Thanks, Andre

Kindly rectify this issue

Easy-Ui5 version: [email protected]

OS/version: MacOS BigSur

Browser/version (+device/version): Google Chrome

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Run the generator for UIVeri5

What is the expected result?
As JUnit is already one of the default reporters I would not expect to add it in the uiveri5 generator as additional reporter.
Instead I would expect an option: none

What happens instead?
You are asked to add JUNIT or SauceLabs.

Any other information? (attach screenshot if possible)

Any other information? (attach screenshot if possible)
Are there any plans on adding SAP Netweaver as a target platform? Could we use nwabap-ui5uploader to add the possibility to deploy an application to a Netweaver system?
You guys have any input on this & could I work on this?

Steps to reproduce the problem:

• Run yo easy-ui5:uiveri5
• Do you want to add a page object? Yes
• Page object name: home
• Add action with name (empty string to skip actions): iSelectBook

What is the expected result?
A valid action is generated.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Use the scaffold to generate a project
2. Attempt to use a SAPUI5 specific component such as the FilterBar

What is the expected result?
That we can easily configure the scaffold to use a local "/resources" folder instead of the default OpenUI5.

What happens instead?
OpenUI5 is used.

Any other information? (attach screenshot if possible)
Are there any plans to be able to configure the scaffold to be able to integrate or use the SAPUI5 runtime? See https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/#sapui5

SAPUI5 doesn't seem to have its packages available at https://npm.sap.com/ which would have made it easier to integrate, but I assume that's due to some sort of licensing restriction(s)?

Hi,
small enhancement request.

Maybe you can add mta-* to .gitignore

to make sure after downloaded mta log, they are not commited.

Logs are downloaded via
cf dmol -i xxx-yyy-zzz

and then stored/exploded in local dir
mta-xxx-yyy-zzz

Regards
Holger
