This error means the SAPUI5 framework is not found

../../../../resources/sap-ui-core.js

I suppose it is working fine in your test environment, but from your pipeline, it won't be the same environment.

To test, please replace the relative path with the following one:

https://ui5.sap.com/xx/resources/sap-ui-core.js

xx would be the version you want (or nothing to use the last one)

Best regards
