Asking to clear or remove the dist folder? about ui5-tools HOT 9 CLOSED

The main problem is detecting ui5 projects. I mean, in case of not using multiroot workspaces, it is necessary to search for every manifest and parse it (im checking it has sap.app.id property). In order to do the same logic in every workspaces, i do this search allways.

The extension has a function that do this search at startup. But you can add, remove or update manifests files so the extension has to listen for changes in manifests files in order to execute the search function again (other files like .env file - to restart the server - and each project file - to restart browser -).

Thats why i am using chokidar. In 0.6.X chokidar was used only for browser refresh, and manifest files are watched with vscode api. The main problem is that it cant detect file changes outside the ide, like copy paste files or similar and i cannot trust the projects are allways detected correctly, so in every server start i was doing a project search that it is not needed now.

Conclusion: i will check for a real solution with chokidar. If there are not one, i will look for another dependency or change the extension do manifest discovery.

Hope this explains the problem

Hi Carlos, yes i am using windows

Can you build the project? I mean, the problem is in both options (deploy/build) or only in deploy?

from ui5-tools.

Yes in both cases.

Hi,

it seems it is a chokidar/windows issue. I just published ui5-tools 1.0.3 with a few changes to workaround the problems in dist folder.

Wish it works

Thanks!
