Windows Developer Box for SAP

A Windows 11 development environment for SAP BTP (CAP, UI5/Fiori) and ABAP, without Visual Studio and without SAP GUI. It inherits everything of the Windows developer box except Visual Studio.

What's installed

From the Windows developer box:

winget, Git, Node.js LTS, GitHub CLI (machine-wide)
a trusted Dev Drive on E: (VHDX on C:) with package caches and a \source workspace
Hyper-V, PowerShell 7, VS Code, system-wide Git configuration

SAP tools:

VS Code extensions, installed for each user at first logon: SAP Fiori tools extension pack, SAP CDS language support, UI5 language assistant, REST Client, GitLens, PowerShell
CAP (cds), UI5 CLI (ui5) and Cloud MTA Build Tool (mbt) globally for all users
Cloud Foundry CLI v8 with the MultiApps plugin (cf deploy)
SAP BTP CLI (btp), when the SAP Developer License is accepted (see below)
Eclipse with the SAP ABAP Development Tools (ADT)

The catlet has 8 vCPUs, 16 GB memory and a 127 GB (dynamically expanding) system disk.

Usage

The catlet does not include a user. Add starter-food, or your own fodder to create a user or join a domain:

name: my-sapdevbox
parent: dbosoft/sapdevbox/win11

fodder:
  - source: gene:dbosoft/starter-food:win-starter

Variables

Variable	Default	Description
`accept_sap_developer_license`	`false`	Accepts the SAP Developer License and installs the SAP BTP CLI
`vscode_extensions`	SAP set (see above)	VS Code extensions installed for each user
`dev_tools`	`Git.Git,OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS,GitHub.cli`	winget packages installed machine-wide
`git_user_name`, `git_user_email`	empty	Git identity set for each user at first logon
`devdrive_size`, `devdrive_letter`, `devdrive_disk`	`100`, `E`, empty	Dev Drive size, letter, or a dedicated eryph drive instead of the VHDX

Without Eclipse ADT

Remove the ADT fodder in your catlet:

fodder:
  - source: gene:dbosoft/sapadt:install
    remove: true

Important Note

The installation takes 15-25 minutes. To reuse the result, repack the catlet after the build into a custom base catlet.

Versioning

This geneset contains only fodder genes and is versioned with a major-minor version scheme.

There is no patch version - when a bug is fixed, a new minor version will be released.
A new major version is released when a gene is removed from the geneset.

The tag latest is updated with each released version. If you want to have a stable reference, don't use the latest tag, use a specific version tag.
