[BUG] Properties 'errors' and 'messages' do not exist on type cds.Request

[dominik-kropp]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

The structure of cds.Request is described here. The types do not reflect what is described.

const request: cds.Request
req.errors // Property 'errors' does not exist on type 'Request_2...'
req.messages // Property 'messages' does not exist on type 'Request_2...'

Expected Behavior

The errors and messages properties should be available in the type definitions so that they can be accessed without type errors.

Hi Dominik,

thank you for reporting this issue!
@mariayord do you know details about the structure of .messages and .errors? CAPire describes:

if (req.errors) //> get out somehow...

so I assume .errors can either be an array (of strings?), or undefined? Or is CAPire incorrect here and it should read

if (req.errors.length) //> get out somehow...

?

Best,
Daniel

Hi @daogrady req.errors and req.messages returns Array of Objects.
If they are no errors the return value is undefined.

Hi @mariayord ,

thank you for clearing this up!
Do we have a definition for these objects?

Best,
Daniel
