WEBIDE - Deploy to SCP does not work with ES6

[former_member587238]

Hi,

I am trying to deploy my custom UI5 application to SCP, via WebIDE (Full Stack) but it fails during BUILD due to ES6 JS code.

Removing ES6 code and replacing with ES5 means the build works fine with no issues.

Uglify issue perhaps? The build console log is not very clear.

Cheers,

James

Web IDE now supports deploying with ES6 syntax when 1.3.65 of @sap/grunt-sapui5-bestpractice-build is applied. Updated my answer accordingly.

Since this issue is resolved now officially (no workarounds needed), I'd suggest to close this question.

Yes, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/52841062 for explanation.

Update: As of "@sap/grunt-sapui5-bestpractice-build": "1.3.65", the below workaround is no longer needed!

Earlier answer:

For now, you can add "grunt-openui5": "0.15.0" to the package.json file in order to enable deploying with ES6 syntax.

{
  "name": "...",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "description": "...",
  "private": true,
  "devDependencies": {
    "@sap/grunt-sapui5-bestpractice-build": "1.3.62",
    "grunt-openui5": "0.15.0"
  }
}

To check the latest version of grunt-openui5, run:

npm view grunt-openui5

Or just visit this npm page.

In this blog I describe why Ivan's answer might be the better (but more advanced) choice.
Ivan refers to this blog which basically contains three simple steps.

Hi James,

Have you done the steps described on this blog? There is also a simplified blog that tackles just the jlint errors here.

Best regards,
Ivan
