Intro

The UI5 tooling V3 always generates -dbg.js & .js.map files, with no option to remove them. While helpful for debugging purposes, this behavior is sometimes undesirable.

Unfortunately the tooling has no native support for disabling this. However ui5-task-no-debug-files plugs this gap. By installing this task, your final bundles will only contain the files you want.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Requires at least @ui5/cli@3.0.0 (to support specVersion: "3.0")

Setup

1. Start by installing the task as devDependency

npm install ui5-task-no-debug-files --save-dev

2. Enable the task in your project's ui5.yaml

builder:
    customTasks:
        - name: ui5-task-no-debug-files
          afterTask: generateComponentPreload

Configuration Options

The task has a couple of options available which determine which files get omitted. Tweak those to achieve desired build output.

• omitDbgFiles - whether to filter -dbg.js files from the output. Defaults to true
• omitSourceMapFiles - whether to filter .js.map files from the output. Defaults to true
• omitTSFiles - whether to filter .ts files from the output. Useful when developing in TypeScript setup. Defaults to true
• omitNonBundled - whether to filter the original .js/.xml files from the output. Defaults to true
• omitDirs - Additional directories to be filtered out from the build output. Defaults to ['test', 'i18n']
• preserveNonBundled - List of glob patterns to be explicitly kept in the output. Useful when a self-contained build fails to bundle everything (e.g. it does not bundle lazy loaded fragments)

Examples

Keep everything

builder:
    customTasks:
        - name: ui5-tooling-transpile-task
          afterTask: replaceVersion
        - name: ui5-task-no-debug-files
          afterTask: generateComponentPreload
          configuration:
              omitDbgFiles: false
              omitSourceMapFiles: false
              omitNonBundled: false
              omitTSFiles: false
              omitDirs: []

Keep i18n.properties & xml files

builder:
    customTasks:
        - name: ui5-tooling-transpile-task
          afterTask: replaceVersion
        - name: ui5-task-no-debug-files
          afterTask: generateLibraryPreload
          configuration:
              omitDirs: []
              preserveNonBundled: ['**/*.xml']

Build modes

• When building libraries, ui5-task-no-debug-files should run after generateLibraryPreload
• When building applications, ui5-task-no-debug-files should run
  • after generateComponentPreload if build is not self-contained
  • after generateStandaloneAppBundle if build is self-contained
