## What it does

This skill guides coding agents through writing OPA5 integration tests for SAP Fiori Elements applications. It starts by locating the project root from `manifest.json`, then detects the OData version. If `manifest.json` contains `sap.fe.templates`, it selects the `sap.fe.test` library for OData V4. If it finds `sap.ui.generic.app`, it switches to `fioriElementsTestLibrary` for OData V2. Mixing these two test libraries is strictly prevented.

The guide enforces strict rules against silent test failures. Every `opaTest` block must include at least one `Then` assertion, because missing assertions report zero checks and pass silently. Case sensitivity in OData property names is strictly maintained to prevent silent timeouts. For OData V4, the skill ensures that keys in the JourneyRunner `pages` map mirror page accessor names.

Freestyle UI5 applications are not supported by design. The instructions strictly assume a project generated by SAP Fiori tools with an existing test folder at `webapp/test`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SAP/open-ux-tools --skill sap-fiori-opa5-test-development -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/sap-fiori-opa5-test-development/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/sap-fiori-opa5-test-development/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SAP/open-ux-tools --skill sap-fiori-opa5-test-development -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/sap-fiori-opa5-test-development/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SAP/open-ux-tools --skill sap-fiori-opa5-test-development -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/sap-fiori-opa5-test-development/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install SAP/open-ux-tools sap-fiori-opa5-test-development
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/sap-fiori-opa5-test-development/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SAP/open-ux-tools --skill sap-fiori-opa5-test-development -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/SAP/open-ux-tools --path plugins-coding-agents/fiori/skills/sap-fiori-opa5-test-development
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/sap-fiori-opa5-test-development/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SAP/open-ux-tools --skill sap-fiori-opa5-test-development -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/SAP/open-ux-tools/tree/HEAD/plugins-coding-agents/fiori/skills/sap-fiori-opa5-test-development/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- write OPA5 integration journeys for SAP Fiori Elements
- configure JourneyRunner and page object accessors for OData V4
- diagnose silent test failures caused by missing Then assertions
- structure new journey files within the integration test directory

## Example prompts
- Write an OPA5 journey for the list report in my Fiori Elements project
- Fix failing OPA tests in webapp/test/integration
- Add a new integration test journey for this OData V4 app

# SAP Fiori OPA5 Development Skill

A guide for writing, fixing, and extending OPA5 integration tests for SAP Fiori Elements applications.
Covers both OData V4 (`sap.fe.test`) and OData V2 (`fioriElementsTestLibrary`).

Not applicable to freestyle UI5 applications - for those, suggest the `ui5-best-practices-opa5` skill from the **UI5 Plugins for Coding Agents** `ui5`.

---

## Prerequisites

This skill requires an existing SAP Fiori Elements application generated by SAP Fiori tools with a test folder present (e.g. at `webapp/test`). If it is missing, follow the version-specific guide after detecting the OData version.

---

## Step 1: Locate the Project Root

When the user provides a project name or ID (e.g. `fin.test.rap.lr3`) instead of a file path:
1. Search for `manifest.json` files under common project roots (e.g. `webapp/manifest.json`).
2. Match the `"id"` field in `sap.app` to the given name, or look for a folder whose name contains the given ID.
3. Once found, treat the folder containing `webapp/manifest.json` as the project root for all subsequent steps.

---

## Step 2: Detect OData Version

Before writing any test code, determine whether the app is OData V4 or V2. The two test libraries are completely different and must never be mixed.

### Primary check: `manifest.json`

| What you find | Version | Test library |
|---|---|---|
| `"sap.fe.templates"` key inside `sap.ui5.dependencies.libs` | **V4** | `sap.fe.test` |
| `"sap.ui.generic.app"` as a root key | **V2** | `fioriElementsTestLibrary` |

### Fallback check: `metadata.xml`
```
