BUG - `@sap-ux/project-access` doesnt return mock server config services when defined in `config.js`

[IainSAP]

Description

When a mock server config is using externally configured services from a config.js these are not returned in the services property of the mock server config. This means that the mock server data path cannot be determined for a specific service these services cannot be updated. Only the yaml file config is considered but all of the configuration is required.

Steps to Reproduce

Configure a mock server ui5-mock.yaml file in Fiori app like so:

- name: sap-fe-mockserver
      beforeMiddleware: csp
      configuration:
        mockFolder: ./webapp/localService
        watch: true
        debug: true
        annotations: []
        mountPath: /

Place the a file named config.js into the folder: ./webapp/localService:

[
    {
        "urlPath": "/sap/opu/odata4/sap/service/path1/0001/",
        "name": "",
        "metadataPath": "./mainService/metadata.xml",
        "mockdataPath": "./mainService/data",
        "generateMockData": false
    },
    {
        "urlPath": "urlPath": "/sap/opu/odata4/sap/service/path2/0001/",,
        "name": "",
        "metadataPath": "./service2.xml",
        "mockdataPath": "./service2/data"
    },
]

Calling the @sap/ux/project-access function getMockServerConfig returns :

{
    "mockFolder": "./webapp/localService/",
    "watch": true,
    "debug": true,
    "annotations": []
}

None of the services are returned and so the mock data paths cannot be discovered for data writing. Additionally there is no way to directly update these services using ui5-mock-config-writer APIs, for example to update a specific service with the resolveExternalServiceReferences: true reference required for loading of value helps and code lists by the mock data server.

Expected results

All service configs are returned.

Actual results

No service configs are returned

@IainSAP is this feature documented? I only found the yaml config (here)

@nlunets is this an ancient leftover of the early mockserver days or is this config.js still a thing?

Hi @heimwege this is definitely supported even today :)
