JavaScript API

Alongside the CLI there is also a public API in this package, so the version check can be easily used in other tooling.

Packages that use the API

• check-outdated-ui5-version
  GitHub Action to Check/update UI5 versions for use in Cloud Foundry

Usage in CI/CD Environments

GitHub

Use the available GitHub Action check-outdated-ui5-version

GitLab

You can utilize the CLI to setup a custom pipeline to check/fix outdated UI5 versions in manifest.json

Example to check on push or merge request to default branch

stages:
  - check_ui5  

workflow:
  rules:
    - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event" && ( $CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_NAME == "main" )
      when: always
    - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "main" || $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "hotfix"
      when: always
    - when: never

"Check for outdated UI5 Versions":
  stage: check_ui5
  image: node:22-alpine 
  before_script: |
    npm i -g ui5-version-check@0.2.0
  script: |
    ui5vc c -p .

Example to periodically update outdated versions via merge request

In GitLab the schedule is defined via a custom setting under menu Build of the repository. To only run the stages during the scheduled execution you can add a custom variable (e.g. UI5_VERSION_UPDATE) to the schedule.

stages:
  - fix_ui5
  - create_mr_for_version_fix

workflow:
  rules:
    - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event" && ( $CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_NAME == "main" || $CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_NAME == "hotfix" )
      when: always
    - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "main" || $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "hotfix"
      when: always
    - when: never

variables:
  GIT_AUTHOR_NAME: "CI Bot"
  GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL: "ci@example.com"
  GIT_COMMITTER_NAME: "CI Bot"
  GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL: "ci@example.com"

"Fix outdated UI5 Versions":
  stage: fix_ui5
  image: node:22-alpine
  rules:
    - if: $UI5_VERSION_UPDATE

    npm i -g ui5-version-check@0.2.0
    apk add --no-cache git curl bash

    git config --global user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
    git remote set-url origin https://oauth2:${AUTOMATION_TOKEN}@${CI_PROJECT_URL#https://}.git
  script: |
    git checkout -b chore/fix-ui5-versions
    ui5vc c -p . -f
    git add -A
    git commit -m"chore: fixes outdated ui5 versions"
    git push origin HEAD:chore/fix-ui5-versions
