`sap.fe.core.AppComponent` borked in 1.102.1?

I’m currently updating an application from 1.96.7 to 1.102.1. We had the following code in our Component.ts:

import AppComponent from 'sap/fe/core/AppComponent';

export default class Component extends AppComponent {
  ...
}

This now fails with Module '"sap/fe/core/AppComponent"' has no default export. Looking into sap.fe.core.d.ts, sure enough, the module now looks like this:

declare module "sap/fe/core/AppComponent" {
  import { $UIComponentSettings } from "sap/ui/core/UIComponent";

  export interface $AppComponentSettings extends $UIComponentSettings {}
}

and AppComponent itself is declared a bit further down like this:

declare namespace sap
  namespace fe {
    namespace core {
      ...
      class AppComponent /* was: sap.ui.core.UIComponent */ extends Object {
        constructor();
      }
    }
  }
}

So of course, import AppComponent = sap.fe.core.AppComponent works, but then I get e.g. Property 'init' does not exist on type 'AppComponent'. Am I missing something here? 🙂

I’m using @sapui5/ts-types-esm@1.102.1.

HI @jakubledl this is indeed borked since a few version when we completely switched those class to TS internally (talk about ironic).

Anyway, i’ve produced a fix now which should be included in the next release of the ui5 types. Do you need it specifically for 1.102 ? in which case i’d downport the fix there too.

Alright: the complete lack of this class (and maybe others in sap.fe) was only in 1.103 and 1.104.0. It is fixed from 1.104.1 and a known issue in 1.105 is also going to be fixed, so essentially this is working fine in the latest release and is going to remain fine in subsequent ones.
