Build 55

Changed

• Upgrade @sap/cds-lsp from 10.0.1 to 10.1.1 with the following additions and changes:
  • Formatting: new option maxAlignmentWhitespace to disable an alignment that would leave more than the configured number of blanks before any of its members, counting the mandatory separating blank
  • User setting to compile as many model files as possible in one compilation. To enable set cds.workspace.compileFilesSeparately to false. This will boost performance for many larger models. In case duplicate definition diagnostics appear check the files involved, and in case some files should not be picked up, add the glob patterns to cds.workspace.additionalIgnorePatterns (as workspace setting).
  • Important: minimum required NodeJS version is now 24.16.0
  • Fixed: Syntax highlighting: delimited and quoted identifiers in using, namespace, context and extend
  • Fixed: Syntax highlighting: multiple ;-separated elements or enum values on a single line
  • Fixed: Syntax highlighting: first segment of a qualified type path (Foo:bar)
  • Fixed: cds-typer settings containing spaces no longer break the language server on Windows
  • Fixed: Formatting: no longer inserts whitespace after the colon of a colon-prefixed variable (e.g. :config) when aligning expressions and conditions
  • Fixed: support for CDS files with >65k lines
  • Fixed: JSON configs with null values
  • Fixed: indexing of CSN files
• Upgrade LSP4IJ to 0.21.0, fixing compatibility with IntelliJ 2026.2 and reducing IDE freezes and errors

  • Fixed: Support lookup dirs defined in subfolders e.g. pom.xml (resolve cds env per project root instead of workspace root)
  • Fixed: WorkspaceSymbols: NodeJS V8 crashed for very large workspaces
  • Fixed: WorkspaceSymbols: filter out symbols from ignored files
  • Fixed: Add quotes around the binary in the default cds-typer command to support paths with non-alphanumeric characters
