Hello,

I want to create a Entity without using CSV file unlike bookstore cloud samples in github.

Following is the method I tried and ended up with "Error: Artifact “cakeshop.Cakes” has not been found" error BAS application

srv/cat-service.cds

namespace cakeshop;
service CatalogService { entity Cakes as projection on cakeshop.Cakes;}

db/Cakes.cds

namespace cakeshop;
entity Cakes { key id : Integer; name : String; logo : String; desc : String;}

csv is never required for creating entity.

Unfortunately, I can't run the app without CSV.

Providing any work samples will be more helpful to me 🙂

Your service has to refer to the schema file. Add this line to your srv/cat-service.cds:

using cakeshop from '../db/Cakes.cds';

you can delete the csv from your current app to see if it is still running
