wdi5 script not present in the main/default branch

[srinikitha09]

Hi,
Basically, this application is a reference to run wdi5 tests on cap applications, but the main default branch does not contain the script to run wdi5 tests. May be it makes sense to merge the changes from solution branch to main branch so that it would be easier for the users who are ending up in search of configuring wdi5 test suite setup to their applications.

Thanks and Regards,
Nikitha

Hi @srinikitha09,

this repository is part of the official wdi5 tutorial. The main branch does not include the wdi5 tests because they will create and run the tests during the tutorial.

Hi @Siolto ,
Thanks for the quick reply. Now I get it, but that tutorial is bit outdated as if the user runs command wdi5@latest it uses wdi5 v2 but tutorial points to v1. Do you think it is still fine or we need to update the tutorial asap?

It wouldn't be a bad idea to update the tutorial or the repository. There is probably a lot that has changed since the tutorial was created. But I hope the tutorial still works even with the newest version.

If it is really needed to update the tutorial the question would be who would have the time or resources to update the tutorial?

@kaylinche @o-liver do you have any thoughts on this?

Actually, I was contacted by an internal SAP colleague to setup wdi5 for their project. I have pointed out them to this repo, but then I lately realized that this application is outdated.

Could we change the tutorial to not do a wdi5@latest, but instead wdi5@^1.x.x? Then the rest of the tutorial can stay as is and also the sample application can stay as it is.

Yes, I think that would be a temporary solution.

Does the tutorial currently not work with wdi5@latest? If yes, then we could go to the latest wdi5@^1.x.x. If it still runs fine I would leave it as it is

I will test it and get back to you soon!

Thanks a lot! I am also not happy that no one really has the ownership/responsibility for this tutorial and repository to keep it up to date 😢 . But I guess this discussion has already been held several times.

I see the following error when I run the wdi5 command:

I really wonder if this tutorial ever worked in a straightforward way without any adaptations.

Atleast as far as I noticed, this tutorial does not work out of the box with wdi5 v2. I am also not sure if npm init wdi5@v1 would work.

I will have a look
