XML Annotation Language Server waiting for connection

[former_member624584]

Hi guys,

I'm testing the fiori tools in vs code. When I'm trying to start the add-ons service modeler, the xml toolkit or the xml annotation language service for all add-ons I receive an unexpect error (bottom right at the picture). In the status bar I then could see that the message 'XML Annotation Language Server waiting for connection'.

Does all three add-ons rely on the xml annotation language server?
Is there a way to start the server manually to maybe get a more detailed error description?

Cheers,

Thorsten

Hello Thorsten,

no, these extensions do not rely on the installed XML Annotation Language Server. The message in the task bar just means that the client part of XML annotation LSP is connecting to its server part. When it is connected, this message disappears and is substituted with the success message XML Annotation Language Server: ready (visible for 10 seconds). If the message 'XML Annotation Language Server waiting for connection' stays forever, there is either a problem with your project or a bug. In this case I would encourage you to create an issue for the component CA-UX-IDE and attach your (zipped) project to it. We would then investigate the problem and provide the solution.

You may also want to check your manifest.json for the data source definitions and check the path to annotation and metadata files there.

Best Regards,

Mariana

As usually updating the different components solved the problem.

Thanks again,
