Could not find service binding of type 'destination'.

[goayle]

I am a beginner in CAP and using destination, but I keep encountering errors. I have already configured the destination in Cockpit, and the connectivity test works fine. However, when I try to connect using code, I keep getting the following error. Could you please tell me what step is missing in this binding?

error message:

}

code :

const destination = await connect.getDestination('test')

console.log("destination", destination);

const res1 = await httpClient.executeHttpRequest(destination);

console.log("after result", res1);

or using the mock destinations, still the same error message:

const reg = await connect.registerDestination({name: 'test', url: 'https://google.com'});

console.log(reg);

console.log('--------------------');

const all = await connect.getAllDestinationsFromDestinationService();

console.log(all);

Hi,

This usually means your application is not correctly bound to the Destination service on BTP.  Please ensurepackage.json has an entry for the destination "test" in the following under cds.requires

"cds": {
  "requires": {
    "test-destination": {
      "kind": "rest",
      "credentials": {
        "destination": "test"
      }
    }
  }
}

Thanks,

Thank you, very much!

Thank you, very much! This code still shows the same error both locally and in WebIDE, even after adding all the configurations. I want to understand if this binding needs to be handled manually. In my understanding, since I've already added the destination in the SAP BTP Cockpit, it should work directly in WebIDE. It feels like there's a missing step in the destination setup process.
