Code completion, go to definition, generate JS Doc for function not working in WebIDE

EkanshCapgemini — Mon, 22 Jul 2019 08:23:49 GMT

Hello All,

The following functionalities are not working for me in general for a project:

Code completion
go to definition
generate JS Doc for function (except in base controller)
open controller from view

however it works fine in another project.

What could be the issue?

BR, Ekansh

Here is the project.json file. Please remove .txt from the file name. Would you also need complete project code extract?

projectjson.txt

If you go to project settings UI5 you can maintain the UI5 libs for which you would get validation and code assist. Yhe libs will be added to the manifest.json. If it does not help I would need to see the project zip

All required libraries are checked there with UI5 version mentioned as 1.44.37. Still not working.

Could you please follow me so that I can send you the project extract in Chat section? Can't post on public forum.

Yuval helped to get this sorted. I am posting the cause of this here for others.

The issues were due to usage of ES6 in my project due to which the code was not parsed as webide parser doesn't support ES6. When we removed ES6 syntax, parsing started working as we could see the Outline generated and all other issues were also fixed with this.

Please do remember, setting 'es6: true' in the project settings, just sets it for eslint and removes error during linting.

So would that mean we cannot use ES6 and JsDoc together in SAP Web IDE ??
