Running wdi5 tests in SAP Business Application Studio (BAS) using chromium 87.0.4280.141

[gregorwolf]

Describe the bug

I try to get wdi5 tests working in SAP BAS. I would hope that this is possible as at least chromium ist installed. This can be checked by running

$ chromium --version
Chromium 87.0.4280.141 built on Debian 10.7, running on Debian 10.8

The path to chromium is:

$ which chromium
/extbin/bin/chromium

When running:

> chromium --headless --screenshot https://bestofui5.org

I can also produce a screenshot:

so I think chromium is fully functional.

To Reproduce

1. Clone the https://github.com/ui5-community/wdi5-workshop repository
2. run npm i
3. cd fe-app
4. adjust fe-app/wdio.conf.js

         browserName: "chromium",
         binary: "/extbin/bin/chromium",

5. run npm run wdi5and you will see the following error

> [email protected] wdi5
> run-p -r serve _wdi5


> [email protected] serve
> ui5 serve --port 8088


> [email protected] _wdi5
> wait-on tcp:8088 && wdio run wdio.conf.js

Expected behavior

Running wdi5 tests in SAP Business Application Studio (BAS) should be possible.

[Siolto]

Hi Gregor,

thanks for providing such detailed information and context! We are already aware of this problem and are exchanging information with BAS colleagues. As I understand it, this is not a wdi5 problem for the time being. Apparently, certain dependencies that we need are missing in the Docker images on which we work in BAS.

The colleagues are already looking at this. Unfortunately I can't tell you when it will be possible to start wdi5 tests in BAS.

Regards, Simon

Hi @Siolto ,

thank you for the follow up. Would it help if I create an customer incident? As BAS is SAP's promoted development infrastructure and wdi5 is the standard integration test tool for SAPUI5 apps now I think it should work out of the box in BAS.

Best Regards Gregor

[Siolto]

@gregorwolf definitely! I think when they also get the feedback from customers and partners that there is a major piece missing in their tooling, this could get more attention and resolved faster.

btw: UIVeri5 hast never worked either in BAS when I remember it correctly more or less for the same reasons.

Regards, Simon

I've created SAP Support Incident 601180 / 2022

[gregorwolf]

The Incident was answered with:

The WDI5 is not supported in BAS currently. As it is not an error but a feature request, please initiate it on SAP Influence site https://influence.sap.com/

I did that and created the request: Support the execution of wdi5 tests (S-User required). Please vote for this request.

the influence request is still open. yet it is only in status "submitted" :( probably @nicoschoenteich can reach out and check w/ Oliver Graeff what the plans are going forward for BAS + wdi5?

[nicoschoenteich]

Hi all, I reached out to Oliver 👍

[nicoschoenteich]

Hi all, This is being reviewed internally currently. Hope to have a road map item ready very soon.

I've tested again with the new VS Code based BAS. Unfortunately it's still the same problem:

user: fe-app $ npm run wdi5

> wdio run wdio.conf.js

Hello Team,

Can you please provide the step to step document for simple sap ui5 application testing vs. code for wdi5.

I have tried a lot of things but the issue is not resolved.

Thanks, Pragnesh

[gregorwolf]

@pragu4 does your question relate to this issue? Or do you have issues getting wdi5 to work in your local VS Code?

about to come with #459 :)

multiple beta testers (thanks @marianfoo and @nicoschoenteich!) reported that the current BAS extension enabling wdi5 in BAS doesn't work - see https://twitter.com/mianbsp/status/1653848495839760384?s=20 and https://twitter.com/NicoSchoenteich/status/1654041518817116162?s=20

[NetaMolcho]

Hi, Regarding https://twitter.com/NicoSchoenteich/status/1654041518817116162?s=20 problem, he just needs to create a 'profile' folder. Just write ״mkdir /tmp/profile״ in the terminal and it should run.

Regarding https://twitter.com/mianbsp/status/1653848495839760384?s=20, it seems the configuration is incorrect, if it is possible to add the configuration file, I would be happy to take a look and try to help.

[marianfoo]

Here is my Config https://github.com/marianfoo/ui5-cc-excelUpload/commit/492bf5785183a65a7859f7a80e4bbeeb042476ef

[NetaMolcho]

Hi @marianfoo I see your baseUrl is 'http://localhost:8080/index.html', but in the package.json I don't see "ui5 serve --port 8080". are you sure that there is a running UI5 app? If you want, we can schedule a meeting for next week (because in Israel the weekend is already started) so we will do the scenario together and try to solve it.

[marianfoo]

Hi @NetaMolcho , the setup is now working for me. I had to downgrade geckodriver to 3.1.0. But I still had to install these two npm packages in addition to the changes in the wdio config:

• "wdio-geckodriver-service": "4.1.1",
• "geckodriver": "3.1.0"

See here my changes from chrome to firefox for BAS https://github.com/marianfoo/ui5-cc-excelUpload/pull/180/files

Here is the working wdio run:

Great, thank you for the update (:
