Context passed but ignored - sapui5

I'm creating an offline app.
When I create an item in a view, I'd like it to be printed in another view so I'm passing a context from a controller to another one thanks to the appView model :
controller where it comes from :
onCreateContainer: function () {
var oView = this.getView(),
containerNumber = oView.byId("addContainerNumberInput").getValue(),
containerWeight = oView.byId("addContainerWeightInput").getValue(),
C = this.getView().getBindingContext();
if (containerNumber !== "" && containerWeight !== "") {
var d = this.getModel("appView").getData();
if (!d["/LotSet('" + this.idParent + "')"]) {
d["/LotSet('" + this.idParent + "')"] = {};
}
d["/LotSet('" + this.idParent + "')"][C.getPath()] = C;
// this.getView().unbindObject();
this._navBack();
} else {
var emptyInputFields = this.getView().getModel("i18n").getResourceBundle().getText("emptyInputFields");
MessageToast.show(emptyInputFields);
return;
}
},
Then I get it back in the second controller :
var oTable = this.getView().byId("contenantsTable");
var appView = this.getModel("appView");
var oLot = appView.getData()["/LotSet('" + sObjectId + "')"];
for (var key in oLot) {
var I = new sap.m.ColumnListItem({
cells: [
sap.ui.xmlfragment(this.getView().getId(), "com.xxx.view.AjoutContenant", this)
]
});
I.setBindingContext(oLot[key]);
oTable.addItem(I);
}
The value of "oLot[key]" is good, it's the context I want to pass, unfortunately, it's completely ignored and the fragment prints elements from the initial context.
Any idea?

I think that the problem is that your are modifying the data of the model directly. The model doesn't know that you are doing it so it is not propagating the changes to the bond components. So you have to either modify the model using setProperty method, or you have to call updateBindings method after you are done modifying the data.

When will bindElement call the real service?

Main.view.xml:
<ObjectHeader
id="objectHeader"
title="{name}"
intro="{id}">
<headerContainer>
<IconTabBar
id="tabBar"
items="{
path: 'assigned',
parameters: {expand: 'b, c'}
}"
select="onTabBarSelect">
</IconTabBar>
</headerContainer>
</ObjectHeader>
Main.controller.js
onMasterSelectionChange : function (sPath) {
var oSource = oEvent.getParameter("listItem") || oEvent.getSource(),
// sPath = "/ASet('d')"
sPath = oSource.getBindingContext().getPath(),
oObjectHeader = this.byId("objectHeader");
oObjectHeader.bindElement(sPath);
this._oModel.attachEventOnce("requestCompleted", function(oEvent) {
var oTabBar = this.byId("TabBar");
oFirstListItem = oTabBar.getItems()[0],
sObjectId = oFirstListItem.getBindingContext().getProperty("id"),
sDPath = "/DSet('" + sObjectId + "')";
this._getControls(sDPath);
}, this);
}
I found a strange behavior: when I change the master list selection, sometimes Network will show a "/ASet/assigned" call, but sometimes there will be no call, which cause requestCompleted not fired.
According to: SAPUI5 - bindElement doesn't work the second time,
If you call bindElement with the same path twice, the second time won't actually trigger a new call to get new data, since the path didn't change.
But I am sure it is different path. Is there any way that can trigger this call?
BTW
oObjectHeader.bindElement({
path : sPath,
events: {
change : function (oData, test) {
},
dataRequested : function (oData) {
},
dataReceived: function (oData) {
}
}
});
change can be fired every time I click master list, but dataRequested and dataReceived is never called.
I know this is an old post but you can actually trigger a network call for the bindElement by refreshing the binding within its change event.
this.getView().bindElement({
path: "model>/" + sContextPath,
events: {
change: function (oEvent) {
// Get the context binding object
var oContextBinding = oEvent.getSource();
// Refresh the binding.
// This triggers a network call.
oContextBinding.refresh(false);
}.bind(this)
}
});
Refreshing the binding, triggers the network call. Also, set the bForceUpdate flag of the refresh to false so that it would only update the UI if there is a change in the data as mentioned in the APIs.
If your ODataModel has already loaded the data under sPath (check in myODataModel.oData) it will not load that data again. Therefore dataRequested/dataReceived will not fire.
But change should fire whenever the path changes no matter if data existed or not.
I find a work around by replace bindElement by change&oModel.read ...
onMasterSelectionChange : function (sPath) {
var oSource = oEvent.getParameter("listItem") || oEvent.getSource(),
// sPath = "/ASet('d')"
sPath = oSource.getBindingContext().getPath(),
oObjectHeader = this.byId("objectHeader");
oObjectHeader.bindElement({
path : sPath,
events: {
change : this._onBindingChange.bind(this, sPath)
}
})
},
_onBindingChange : function(sPath) {
this._oModel.read(sPath + "/assigned", {
urlParameters: {
"$expand": "b, c"
},
success: function(oData) {
var aAssigmentSet = oData.results,
oViewModel = this.getModel("viewModel"),
oTabBar = this.byId("hazardTabBar");
oViewModel.setProperty("/aAssigmentSet", aAssigmentSet);
oTabBar.bindAggregation("items",
"viewModel>/aAssigmentSet",
new sap.m.IconTabFilter({
key: "{viewModel>id}",
tooltip : "{viewModel>id}",
text : {
parts: [{path: "viewModel>b/name"},
{path: "viewModel>c/type"}],
formatter : function(name, type) {
var sType = type.split(".");
return name + " (" + sType[sType.length - 1] + ")";
}
}
})
);
if (oTabBar.getItems().length > 0) {
var sSelectedTabKey;
sSelectedTabKey = oTabBar.getItems()[0].getKey();
oTabBar.fireSelect({selectedKey: sSelectedTabKey});
}
}.bind(this),
error: this.errorCallback.bind(this)
});
},
onTabBarSelect : function(oEvent) {
var sRiskAssignmentPath = "/AssignmentSet('" + oEvent.getParameter("selectedKey") + "')";
this._oModel.read(AssignmentSet + "/assignedAssignedControls", {
...
});
}
I think the propper way to achieve this would be to use the invalidate-Method form Odata-Model.
This invalidates all cached entries and forces a new read for the Bindings:
https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/api/sap.ui.model.odata.v2.ODataModel%23methods/invalidate

SAPUI5 oData POST 500 error

I'm trying to do a oData create on checkbox pressed and getting the following errors. Not sure if this is front end or a back end ABAP issue as have got this same function working in another project.
It is failing on the create part but strangely is still passing through the details for SiteId, ArticleNumber, VarianceDate & Confirmed.
// Set CheckBox status, X for true, blank for false
onVarianceChecked: function (oEvent) {
var oEntry = {};
var bindingContext = oEvent.getSource().getBindingContext(this.MODEL_VIEW);
var path = bindingContext.getPath();
var object = bindingContext.getModel("SI").getProperty(path);
// Pass in the Header fields
oEntry.SiteId = this.SiteId;
oEntry.ArticleNumber = object.ArticleNumber;
oEntry.VarianceDate = moment(new Date(object.VarianceDate)).format('YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss');
// Set X or blank
if (oEvent.getParameter("selected") === true) {
oEntry.Confirmed = "X";
} else {
oEntry.Confirmed = "";
}
// Do the create
var oModel = this.getView().getModel("SI");
oModel.create("/VarianceHeaderSet", oEntry, {
success: function () {
console.log("Variance confirmed");
MessageToast.show("Variance confirmed", {
duration: 1000
});
},
error: function (oError) {
console.log("Error, variance could not be confirmed");
MessageToast.show("Error, variance could not be confirmed", {
duration: 1000
});
}
});
}
'000000000' is the initial value for Edm.DateTime, hence it will fail when you have modelled a DateTime property to not be nullable.
Go to SEGW and change the property to "nullable" or make sure that you always provide a correct Date in the POST.

how to put verification in pageobject model in protractor

I have a code (credit to #kishanpatel) Traverse-through-each-row-for-a-column-text which will verify whether the value is added in grid or not. i want to put this in my page object. i was thinking to add the elements into page object and the if condition in a different helper file similar to selenium but i am not sure is that the right appraoch. see the details below.
if I call the mo.helper in spec.ts, it says gridcheck.ispresent() is not a function. How to handle this scenario?
code:
it('verify the grid that master obligation is added', function () {
var testvar = "'test_protractor'";
var row_check = element(by.xpath("//div[contains(text()," + testvar + ")]"));
if (row_check.isPresent()) {
row_check.getText().then(function (msg) {
if (row_check.isPresent()) {
console.log("Grid contains========== " + msg);
}
});
}
});
i have the below method in mo.ts(page object page):
this.grid = function (value) {
// var testvar = "'test_protractor'";
var row_check = element(by.xpath("//div[contains(text()," + value + ")]"));
return require('./mohelper.ts')
}
}
mohelper.ts:
require('../page/mo.ts')
var mohelper = function () {
this.gridvaluepresent = function () {
require('../page/mo.ts')
var gridcheck = mo.grid();
if(gridcheck.isPresent()) {
gridcheck.getText().then(function (msg) {
if (gridcheck.isPresent()) {
console.log("Grid contains========== " + msg);
}
})
}
}
}
module.exports = new mohelper();
spec.ts:
it('go to corresponding module and verify whether the master obligation is added ', function () {
browser.sleep(10000);
taxhome.selectmodule;
taxhome.selectmoduledropdown(1);
mo.grid("test_protractor");
mohelper.gridvaluepresent();
});
Couple of things here to be considered -
1) Most of the protractor's api methods are asynchronous i.e. they return promises you have to resolve/reject them to perform actions.
isPresent() also returns a promise, you need to resolve it-
var row_check = element(by.xpath("//div[contains(text()," + value + ")]"));
row_check.isPresent().then(function(present) {
if(present) { // it returns a boolean value
row_check.getText().then(function (msg) {
console.log("Grid contains========== " + msg);
});
}
});
2) Since you are using TypeScript , use its syntax rather than conventional js-
let row_check = element(by.xpath("//div[contains(text()," + value + ")]")); // Block scoped variable using 'let'
row_check.isPresent().then((present) => { // notice the thick arrow
if(present) {
row_check.getText().then((msg) => {
console.log("Grid contains========== " + msg);
});
}
});
3) Maintain Page Objects efficiently and readable-
All the helper methods, elements etc. for a single page should go in a single page object. Write them in separate classes, typescript uses the concept of classes and transpiles them to global functions.
moHelper.ts
import {ElementFinder, element} from 'protractor';
export class MoHelper {
public row_check: ElementFinder; // its of element finder type
gridValueCheck(value : string) {
row_check = element(by.xpath("//div[contains(text()," + value + ")]")); // please use Css selectors instead of Xpath!
row_check.isPresent().then((present) => {
if(present) {
row_check.getText().then((msg) => {
return msg; // here you are returning the msg of the row from your page!
});
}
});
}
}
Your spec.ts should validate that row msg!
import {MoHelper} from './moHelper.ts'
let mo: MoHelper = new MoHelper();
it('go to corresponding module and verify whether the master obligation is added ', () => {
browser.sleep(10000); // please refrain from using sleeps instead use Expected Conditions
taxhome.selectmodule;
taxhome.selectmoduledropdown(1);
expect(mo.gridValueCheck("test_protractor")).toEqual("Your Expected Message");
});
Please find the links for your reference to understand the above in more detail-

Nesting Model Reports + Search Results

Seem like I'm not the first to investigate this. But not despairing yet :-)
The target state I'd like to reach is:
A recursion through Packages, where some of the nested Sub-Packages are glorified Linked Documents, and some are Grids rendering Search Results.
I like that Model Documents provide Search Tag values -- but I can't seem to nest the grids where I want them to show up.
Approach 1: Nested Model Documents
If I could nest Model Document elements, with their Search/Search Term tags, I would be sorted. I could have
Context:Package
Introduction:Package <- just renders a Linked Document attached to it
Systems Affected:Package <- just renders a Linked Document attached to it
Systems Affected:Model Document <- renders the results of a canned Search.
But EA appears to be designed to ignore the Model Document element.
Approach 2: SQL backed Template Fragment
I like the Model Document as it has Search/Search Term + all the Inclusion/Exclusion configuration options. But if I had to give that part up I am thinking of emulating as much as I can via SQL or script.
First attempt - using SQL and a nested set of Packages such as:
Context:Package
Introduction:Package <- just renders a Linked Document attached to it
Systems Affected:Package <- just renders a Linked Document attached to it
Systems Affected:Package<> <- renders the results of a SQL Search.
If the template uses a TemplateSelector it can spot the Package with a wellknown stereotype, and invoke a Template that is backed by SQL.
The SQL uses the Package's Keywords as the source of the Element type to search for.
SELECT
o.ea_guid AS [CLASSGUID],
o.Object_Type AS [CLASSTYPE],
o.PDATA5 AS [KEYWORDS],
o.Object_Type AS [Type],
o.Stereotype AS [Stereotype],
*
FROM t_object as O
WHERE O.Object_Type IN
(SELECT PDATA5 FROM t_object AS S where S.Object_ID = #OBJECTID#)
It works...barely.It's a bit hacky.
Searching off of Element Type is not going to be sufficient for production documents.
Approach 3: Script backed Template Fragment
If I can get a script running I suspect that I could leverage functionality that is already in the system.
Context:Package
Introduction:Package <- just renders a Linked Document attached to it
Systems Affected:Package <- just renders a Linked Document attached to it
Systems Affected:Package<> <- renders the results of a canned Search.
If the template uses a TemplateSelector it can spot the Package with a wellknown stereotype, and invoke a Template that is backed by a script.
The script I'm trying is:
var x = Repository.GetElementsByQuery("POC.Req", "Device");
return x;
But the report remains blank of those elements I need for the table.
Q: Does the returned Collection need transformation before it can be used?
Approach 4
I've heard that there is an approach to Render Document sections as PDF, and link to them as Linked Documents... Sounds Convoluted. Sounds like a wrong/magic approach.
Approach 5
Any other suggestions?
Thanks for the help.
Addendum
Just got approach 3 to work by converting the script results to xml before handing it back
The template's script now looks like
-- first pass ...I'll work on passing the ObjectId in a bit in order to get fancier.
ExecuteSearch("Simple", "Device")
and it invokes a script saved somewhere else as
!INC Local Scripts.EAConstants-JScript

function main()
{
return ExecuteSearch("Simple", "Device");

function ExecuteSearch(searchName, searchParam){

//return x;
var xmlDOC = CreateReport(x);
var s = xmlDOC.xml;
Session.Output(s);
return s;

noteElement.appendChild(xmlDOC.createCDATASection(entity.Notes));
AppendXmlChild(xmlDOC,"Keywords",xmlRow).text = entity.PDATA5;
}
return xmlDOC;
}
function CreateXmlDOC()
{
var xmlDOM;
try
{
xmlDOM = new ActiveXObject( "MSXML2.DOMDocument.4.0" );
}
catch(e)
{
xmlDOM = new ActiveXObject( "MSXML2.DOMDocument.6.0" );
}
xmlDOM.createProcessingInstruction("xml","version=\"1.0\"");
xmlDOM.validateOnParse = false;
xmlDOM.async = false;
return xmlDOM;
}

if (!xmlParent){xmlParent = xmlDOM;}
var child = xmlDOM.createElement(xmlElementName);
xmlParent.appendChild(child);
return child;
}
main();
The script I used in the end is as follows. It now correctly investigates the element's tags for clues as how to proceed.
Hope it helps others.

How can I delete a row from a Table in SAPUI5 Application when I used Model as XMLModel?

I have created SAPUI5 application, in that I have loaded data from external .xml file into a table, it was fine. Now, I am trying to delete a specific row from that table.
For this purpose, I use this code:
var oModel = new sap.ui.model.xml.XMLModel();
oModel.loadData("Deployments.xml", "", false);
sap.ui.getCore().setModel(oModel);
oTable.bindRows("/service"); // here "service" is the root element of xml file
var oTable = new sap.ui.commons.Button({
text: "Delete Service",
press: function() {
var idx = oTable.getSelectedIndex();
if (idx !== -1) {
var m = oTable.getModel();
var data = m.getData();
var removed = data.splice(idx, 1); // error showing at this line
m.setData(data);
sap.m.MessageToast.show(JSON.stringify(removed[0]) + 'is removed');
} else {
sap.m.MessageToast.show('Please select a row');

But, I am getting error at the line: var removed = data.splice(idx, 1);. However, the same code is good for when model is JSON. How can I delete a specific row from a table when model XMLModel?
It is a lot easier an more reliable to use a Bindings BindingPath to manipulate data belonging to a particular binding. Here is your adapted sample for a XMLModel:
press: function() {
var iIdx = oTable.getSelectedIndex();
var sPath = oTable.getContextByIndex(iIdx).getPath();
var oObj = oTable.getModel().getObject(sPath);
oObj.remove();
oTable.getModel().refresh();
}
This way you save the hazzle of dealing with the XML structure and furthermore this will scale with any change in the binding path you might introduce in the future.

var data = m.getData();
data is not an Array. It is a XML document.
To remove an entry from the document:
var root = data.childNodes[0];
var aEntry = root.getElementsByTagName("entry");
root.removeChild(aEntry[idx]);
