How to modify HTML5 Apps in CloudFoundry

[FedericoB]

Hi my friends!

We have apps deployed to CloudFoundry in what are called HTML5 Applications and their services inside a space . The question is, how can we get that app up in the BAS to modify and test it? Because if I put download, it only downloads a part of the app.

Thank you!

Hi,

are you using an UI5 app that gets deployed to the HTML5 App Repo?
If so, only the generated files of the UI5 builder are uploaded to HTML5 App Repo.
At least this is the default way when following the guides/best practices.

I don't know if there is a way to recover the original dev files/structure from the genereated files.
But the original dev files are not part of the deployed ZIP to the HTML5 App Repo an therefore gone (when there is no backup or as mentioned an git repository with the source).

To get the generated released files from the deployed Apps you can use the BTP Cockpit or the CF CLI (cf html5-get <you-app-name>

ask the one who developed

it should be in git....

That would be the best option, but there is no git done.
