SAP HANA XS Advanced, Creating a Node.js Module

[vhsouza]

Tutorial URL: https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/xsa-xsjs-xsodata.html

Please specify the step you are referring to

Step 6 - Execute the xsjs module
I've been following all steps from Developers Tutorial to create a small XSA application, but when I try to start XSJS_CORE, I am getting the error below:
Running module /HANA_APP/core_xsjs failed. See console logs for more details. Cannot read property '_addUrlAsLink' of undefined

There are two posts about this very same error in SAP Forum, but without answer

After lots of troubleshooting, I changed Node.js package.json file sections like below and it solved the problem

"devDependencies": { "@sap/xsjs-test": "^2.0.16" }

"engines": { "node": "8.x" }

There are similar instructions in the tutorial:
please update the node version from 8.x to 10.x in the package.json. Also update the @sap/xsjs-test package to at least “^3.1.2”. For more details on this compatibility situation, see service note: https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2905261

Are you saying that those versions did not work for you and you had to go back to these older versions? If so what release of HANA/XSA/Web IDE are you running. The tutorial was tested with the versions shown and described on HANA Express 2.0 SPS 04 and did work.

Hello Thomas,
Yes, I followed these instructions (at Step 3: Enable authentication in your service) but when I tried to start my node module I was getting the error mentioned above, so after comparing files with your video (SAP HANA Basics For Developers: Part 8.1 XSJS and XSODATA) I tried to use these old versions and it worked for me
