jQuery.sap.includeScript().then() not working in SCP SAPUI5 app

Question

I\'m trying to include googlemaps in sapui5

jQuery.sap.includeScript({
                url: \"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=XXXX\",
                   


        

Answer 1

Looks like the InterceptService doesn't support the newest signature of jQuery.sap.includeScript (where parameters are provided in a configuration object instead of as individual arguments) yet.

Midterm, the InterceptService needs to be enhanced / fixed. Short-term, you might fall back to the old signature jQuery.sap.includeScript(url, id, onload, onerror). There is unfortunately no way to get a Promise with the old signature.

Answer 2

It is indeed issue of InterceptorService, which does not support the syntax of includeScript with object as first argument.

I've forwarded a code of the solution to implementation team of HCP Portal Service and it will be fixed in the next release.

So far, you can achieve the same functionality with the following workaround:

new Promise(function(fnResolve, fnReject) {
    jQuery.sap.includeScript(
        "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=XXXX", 
        "mapsScriptId", fnResolve, fnReject
    );
}).then(function() { ... } )

See how UI5 implements it: https://github.com/SAP/openui5/blob/rel-1.38/src/sap.ui.core/src/jquery.sap.global.js#L4387-L4389
