Descriptor Editor in manifest.json

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am creating a custom Fiori App inside SAPUI5 cloud platform(SAP Web IDE Full-Stack). I have selected my project (Project-> Project Type ) as a SAP Fiori. When I am trying to create manifest.json file , system is not able to show Descriptor editor, though under preferences it has set as a Descriptor editor.

Hi Shrikant Zambre,

manifest.json should have some basic data inside for the Descriptor editor to work.

{
	"sap.app": {
		"_version": "1.3.0",
		"type": "application",
		"applicationVersion": {
			"version": "${project.version}"
		}
	}
}

You can copy from the above url.

If you generate the fiori app from template then all that above code and some other important code will be auto generated which will be really helpful to you.

Hi Mahesh,

Thanks for quick response but 'Descriptor editor' option itself is not available though I have insert some basic data inside manifest.json file.

Can you put the screenshot of the project and the file..

You can also try this if you wan to, just create a folder directly in the project explorer and then create a file manifest.json inside it and copy paste the below code

{
	"sap.app": {
		"type": "application",
		"applicationVersion": {
			"version": "1.0.0"
		}
	}
}

Close the manifest.json and open it again, you will see the two tabs below
