Kick off your SAP HANA App Dev Env for running Hana-Cli (XSA & CF) by leverage VS Code Dev Container. Use this devcontainer for your projects if you want

Motivation

The approach of this project was to share the same required dev environment by using the same VS Code Dev Containers to make the start for new team members more easy and faster.

Prerequisites

Setting up this Dev Container - use WSL (Ubuntu)

Some features (docker, kubectl, etc.) were outsourced in a separately bash script, to increase the startup time for this devcontainer. If you need one of this features, you only need to comment or uncomment the relevant script.

1. Optional activate additional features at the end of the Dockerfile

Change the permission to executable with the chmod command.

node ➜ .../.devcontainer (main ✗) $  (docs ✗)
$ chmod -R +x

Additional features

Optional activate this additional VS Code extensions within devcontainer

    "ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers",
    "ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh-edit",
    "ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh",
    "ms-vscode-remote.remote-wsl",
    "ms-vscode-remote.vscode-remote-extensionpack",

2. Optional add XS Client for SAP HANA XSA (Only required for connecting a XSA platform)

Download the XS_CLIENT00P_xxx-70001320 for Linux from SAP Download Center

Drop the unzipped XS_CLIENT00P file on root

XS Client

Change the path in your .devcontainer\Dockerfile

  • (ENV XSCLI="/workspaces/vsc-sap-hana-mta-dev-env-node16x/XS_CLIENT00P_134-70001320)

Change the permission by running your WSL - Distro with the chmod command.

node ➜ /workspaces/vsc-sap-hana-mta-dev-env-node16x/XS_CLIENT00P_134-70001320/bin (docs ✗)
$ chmod -R +x xs
node ➜ /workspaces/vsc-sap-hana-mta-dev-env-node16x/XS_CLIENT00P_134-70001320/sapjvm_8_jre/ (docs ✗)
$ chmod -R +x bin

After that you can build the Dev Container by clicking the Remote Status bar. Only for the first time the building of the Dev Container takes about 10 minutes, but then in no time!

Hints

Running project in WSL (Ubuntu)

  • For performance reason run the project in the Linux file system (~/home)
  • You'll find your Linux home directory on Windows here:
\\wsl$
\\wsl$\Ubuntu-20.04\home\
code --install-extension "christian-kohler.path-intellisense"
code --install-extension "christian-kohler.npm-intellisense"
...
