openui5 XSD files with errors

Hello,

I’m using openui5-sdk-1.52.9

The XSD files can’t be used to generate intellisense/autocompletion for Visual Studio 2017. It gives the following error:

_Type 'sap.ui.core:TooltipBaseType’ is not declared, or is not a simple type.

I thought that it could be a Visual Studio issue but I downloaded “UI development toolkit for HTML5” for Eclipse and I see that there you have XML templates instead of using the XSD files, because they don’t work either. Also other XSD tools I’ve tried complained about the XSD files in download/schemas

I have tried several views and it always happens. For example:

<mvc:View xmlns:core="sap.ui.core" xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc" xmlns="sap.m"
          controllerName="myController" displayBlock="true">
    <App>
        <Page title="Tittle">
            <Panel id="myOuterPanel">
                <Button text="Button"></Button>
            </Panel>
        </Page>
    </App>
</mvc:View>

Could you please fix the XSDs? Maybe you can also add a build step to validate the generated XSDs files.

In the meantime I created valid XSDs for some of the OpenUI5 libraries here:

They work with Visual Studio 2017

We discussed this again internally and won’t invest any further in the XSD schema generation:

• The mismatch between the current schemas and the development best practices for XMLViews (library namespace vs. package namespace) are too big to fix the issues in the existing generation
• we have no capacity for implementing a totally new generation, but the necessary information should already be available externally (in the form of the api.json files)
• experimenting with a different approach of tailoring the XSD namespaces along the runtime packages failed due to cyclic dependencies between packages – WebIDE has anyhow chosen to use a non-XSD approach
• @emumanu (thankfully) created a workaround for OpenUI5 at least

Sorry for not having a better update.
