Writing groovy scripts in VSCode for SAP CI (CPI)

[sjorge]

Groovy script development is much easier nowadays with tools like Groovy IDE , which is great for building scripts online. But I always miss the autocomplete in VSCode and also the possibility to use copilot (yes, I like to use AI 🙂), so I decided to build a simple type that helps me handle many of the use cases I work with in Groovy.

From my experience, the most commonly used SAP-specific classes in Groovy are those for getting headers, properties, or the message body, so that’s what I focused on solving — the others I use are usually standard Groovy classes.

Let’s jump into how it looks — the image below shows an example of a script in VSCode:

This gives me a good enough approximation to build locally and transfer to CI afterward.

Hopefully, this is just the beginning. If you think that something else should be added, please let me know. Happy to discuss it.

If you would like to try it, please check the GitHub repo: 19jmrs/SAPCI_GroovySim
You’ll find instructions on how to use it in the GitHub repo, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Cheers!
