Manifest.json doesn't open in Descriptor Editor

[vitalii_potceluev]

Hello.

Do you have any idea why manifest.json file always opens in Code Editor instead of Descriptor Editor? I'mm using Personal WebIDE. When I started IDE for the very first time it worked well, today it always opens in Code mode (JSON).

Thank you!

Hi,

I too faced the same issue in SAP Cloud platform trial SAP Web IDE fullstack.

I solved by adding below skeleton of code in manifest.json code editor.

{

"sap.app": { "type": "application" },

"sap.ui": {},

"sap.ui5": {}

}

Note: Make sure you are adding "type": "application" without which it won't work. This is my workaround which I found. Others may check this and confirm.
