Fiori Elements: Preview works with "NPM RUN START" but not with "NPM RUN START-NOFLP "

[Jan-WillemK]

Hi Fiori Elements colleagues,

I am creating a Fiori Elements application, that eventually should run as a stand-alone app. I use VS-Code to develop the Fiori Elements app.

If I use the preview, I am able to choose between several run-configurations.

If I run the first option (start fiori run) everything goes smoothly and I see my running app.

If I run the third option (start fiori start-noflp) the app doesn't start, and I get quite some messages in the console saying there are a lot of libraries missing:

I added them to my package.json and manifest.json, that didn't work. After reading the UI5 tooling documentation for V3 I am afraid that this won't work as well: UI5 Tooling - Migrate to V3.

I do use an extension that runs fine in the version with the local FLP, declared by

                "sap.ui.controllerExtensions": {
                    "sap.suite.ui.generic.template.ListReport.view.ListReport": {
                        "controllerName": "namespace.ext.controller.ListReportExt"
                    }

Any ideas why the "-NOFLP" doesn't work? Or even better; any suggestions how to make this work?

Thanks in advance for the input!

I finally decided to rebuild the whole application... It runs now again with

NPM RUN START-NOFLP

But it took me more work than I would have liked. I suspect the problems were in the quickVariantSelection tags.

After posting I did see a similar topic here: Fiori Elements issues faced in VSCODE . I'll investigate this and report back if that helps.
