Request: Deploy to ABAP / SCP

[NoelHendrikx]

Are there any intentions to implement also a deployment option to ABAP or SCP platform? Or do I need grunt / gulp (gulp-nwabap-ui5uploader) to do so?

Affected components

• [X] ui5-builder
• [X] ui5-cli

Thanks for the report! Like we said at UI5con: Not planned as of today.

Right now the plan is to rather provide a plugin mechanism to allow for third-parties to develop such a tool and for any developer to use it through the UI5 CLI is wished.

I'll leave this issue open to have this topic visible and to track any progress (in whichever direction).

@RandomByte @matz3 are there any docs out there to get started with plugin development at the moment?

No, we don't even have a concept (yet implementation) for that yet. Also see https://github.com/SAP/ui5-tooling/pull/4

IMO, it could be a new ui5-tooling module: ui5-deployer. It could work based on parameters set in ui5.yaml Something similar to nwabap-ui5uploader and grunt-openui5-deploy-abap

I've started working on something for it, feel free to contribute:

@mauriciolauffer Thanks a lot for mentioning your project here. Currently, it's not planned to introduce a deployment functionality into the UI5 Tooling. In future there might be a hook (see https://github.com/SAP/ui5-tooling/issues/490) where a project like the ui5-deployer can be attached to.

Note: SAP offers already the package @sap-ux/deploy-tooling to deploy your app to an ABAP environment.

@flovogt please, don't create any deployment feature inside ui5-builder! See my comment
