Develop a Fiori Launchpad App with Your Own Dev Tools #5118

Closed iMilazzo closed 4 years ago

iMilazzo commented 4 years ago

Mission URL: https://developers.sap.com/mission.sapui5-cf-launchpad.html

Well, this tutorial have a lot o issues:

In Tutorial 7 - Display Data from the Northwind Service Step 5 Redirect traffic to data source

In Tutorial 8 Step 6 Add hierarchy information it's state to put the code what I think is only PART of it after the model section, it's doesn't work for me, I tried many combinations and the only one that worked for me is to add this is code right after "sap.ui5" declaration (too sensitive too).

      "ShellUIService": {
        "factoryName": "sap.ushell.ui5service.ShellUIService",
        "lazy": false,
        "settings": {
          "setTitle": "auto"
        }
      }
    }

In The Tutorial 9 - Deploy the Fiori App to Cloud Foundry... this is hell !!!

I'm sorry that you faced so many issues during the tutorial. This shouldn't happen! I'm not sure if I can solve all the points you mentioned but I can definitely comment on all points :)

I think that "welcomeFile" : "/cp.portal" is wrong, at least it doesn't work for me because I get "SiteNotFound" when I do.

This is not wrong, cp.portal is the right value for this property. I assume it didn't work because the "Portal deployed" app failed in your case. The link to this location won't work if that task is not completed successfully.

This ui5.yaml is TOO sensitive

I feel your pain. YAML is quite nice to read but writing can be horrible. If you do edit this file often, I definitely recommend using VS Code plugins to make your life easier like https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=redhat.vscode-yaml or https://sap.github.io/ui5-tooling/pages/Configuration/#validation-ide-support I didn't want to include too many non-ui5 things into the tutorial but maybe I should add these tools.

The favorite button...

The button is not supposed to do anything but being a toggle button (as there is no real controller logic associated with the control). It's basically just a dumb switch for now. I'll add this remark to the tutorial to avoid confusion, thanks.

Add hierarchy information

You can add this new section at any "child position" of the sap.ui5 node. I'm not sure why it didn't work after the "models" property. Maybe the ShellUIService node was attached to the wrong parent node? JSON is the other industry-standard config-approach next to YAML. In this case, writing it is earlier but reading is harder. If you do these tasks often, you can leverage another IDE extension to be supported during editing http://json.schemastore.org/ui5-manifest

Step 1: Build the project

So you're saying the build works fine, right?

Step 2: Deploy the built archive

This problem has already been addressed in #5108 and #5115

I hope I could help

This is not wrong, cp.portal...

Well, now that the deploy worked because of your fix I will continue the next step of the tutorial which is rename the cd.portal !!!

I feel your pain. YAML...

Thanks for the tip !!

Maybe the ShellUIService node was attached to the wrong parent node?

It could be, I tried a lot of combinations, really a lot !!

http://json.schemastore.org/ui5-manifest...

Amazing, very instructive !!

Thank you for the enlightment !!
