Current Behavior

In one of the generated files, there are two errors regarding the import and usage of "Currencies":

Error message:
'"c:/Users/D048091/git/crypto-for-business/@cds-models/sap/common/index"' has no exported member named 'Currencies'. Did you mean 'Currency'?

The code can be also seen in this file:

export function _FiatCurrencyAspect<TBase extends new (...args: any[]) => object>(Base: TBase) {
  return class FiatCurrency extends Base {
        name?: string | null;
        descr?: string | null;
        code?: string;
        symbol?: string | null;
        minorUnit?: number | null;
        texts?: __.Composition.of.many<_sap_common.Currencies.texts>;
        localized?: __.Association.to<_sap_common.Currencies.text> | null;
    /**
    * Type for a language code
    */
        localized_locale?: _sap_common.Locale | null;
        localized_code?: string | null;
      static actions: {
    }
  };
}

The related entity to the FiatCurrency class is:

using {sap.common.Currencies} from '@sap/cds-common-content';

namespace sap.erp4sme.c4b.payment.fiatCurrencies;

@cds.persistence.skip: false
entity FiatCurrencies as select from Currencies;

See also this file.

Expected Behavior

I'm not sure what is the correct code. Of course, there should be no errors.

Is the issue fixed if you import sap.common.Currencies from @sap/cds/common instead of @sap/cds-common-content? The definition will be the same.

Hi @hakimio
I changed the import as you suggested to
using {sap.common.Currencies} from '@sap/cds/common';
However, the error still exists.

Hi Michael,

this issue is actually closely related to #77

Localisation and text properties are not supported by cds-typer at this point in time. So it is to be expected that their type is incorrect. I am more suprised that cds-typer attempts to generate them regardless, as we are currently skipping them. I will look into it.

Best,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

do you have an idea, when this issue will be fixed? It currently blockes our build process.

Thanks and best regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,

sorry, I am afraid not any time soon from my side, as I have to prioritise another project for an upcoming release. If you would like to submit a PR to address the problem, I will make sure to carve out some time to review it to make sure the issue is fixed asap.

Best
Daniel
