MWE Cloud SDK issue #4080

This repository contains a MWE for the issue Execute $count in Batch request.

The Northwind OData v2 service is used as an example.

Structure

• http/ contains test HTTP requests (for VS Code extension "REST Client")
• service-specs/ contains the OData client required files
• src/ contains a simple script that issues two $count requests, and the generated OData client

Usage

• npm i to install dependencies
• npm run generate-client (or Ctrl+Shift+B in VS Code) to generate the OData client (should run automatically after installing)
• npm start (or F5 in VS Code) to start the script

About the script

The script executes two $count requests:

• the first one is executed directly (without $batch)
  • it works as expected
  • have to remove the accept header as Northwind does not accept application/json
• the second one is contained inside a $batch request.
  • this one fails
  • have to disable TS checks; else it complains about the CountRequestBuilder not matching the batch signature (which only accepts GetByKeyRequestBuilder, GetAllRequestBuilder, and BatchChangeSets )
  • when running the script you get a runtime error:
    
  • in the http test requests you can see that the server does accept $count in $batch
