Local SAP UI5

Hosting SAP UI5 locally is beneficial due to the following reasons:

• reduce CO2 emissions
• improve first test load time otherwise it could fail with timeout
• switch UI5 versions easily
• reduce network load
• run tests off-line
• utilize CI caches to reduce the test duration

Using ui5 tools helps to build local UI5 that consists of all files required by the UI application.

The local UI5 build will be performed using the following command sequence:

npm i @ui5/cli
npx ui5 use sapui5@1.118.1
npm version "1.118.1"
npx ui5 build self-contained --all --include-task generateVersionInfo

In order to use the ready UI5 builds, the cds-cucumber module provides the following cds plugins:

• local-ui5-tgz - serve tgz archived UI5 version
• local-ui5-build - serve the dist directory of a UI5 local build

In order to activate one of the plugins you can use the following command:

npx cds-add-cucumber-plugin -p <plugin name> <options>

Options:

• -w <workspace> (optional) specifies the target nodejs workspace
• -f <filename> (optional) specifies the html file to be modified so that it utilizes the local UI5 version

Examples:

• Bookshop

npx cds-add-cucumber-plugin -p local-ui5-tgz -w fiori -f app/fiori-apps.html

• SFlight

npx cds-add-cucumber-plugin -p local-ui5-tgz -f app/travel_processor/webapp/index.html

The repository provides shell scripts that help to perform the UI5 build but they are are not part of the released module. The scripts uses the tmp/sapui5 directory relative to the current directory. You can create a symlink if you want to target another build target directory.

Serving archived version (tgz file)

• reason - virus scanner handles better one single file
• build with the following command:

test/bin/build.ui5.tgz.sh

• enable with the following command:

npx cds-add-cucumber-plugin -p local-ui5-tgz -w fiori -f app/fiori-apps.html

Serving build directory

• build with the following command:

test/bin/build.ui5.sh

• enable with the following command:

npx cds-add-cucumber-plugin -p local-ui5-build -w fiori -f app/fiori-apps.html
