'ui5 serve' fails with 'Could not find resource /manifest.json in project'

[slade_stewart]

I'm working through the SAP FlexibleCustomLayout App tutorial ( https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/sdk/#/topic/c4de2df385174e58a689d9847c7553bd)

When, from the root of the project (in which if I do a 'ls' I see the folder 'webapp') I issue a 'ui5 serve' command, I get the error
Could not find required manifest.json for project wcm.wca.grc.eforms: Could not find resource /manifest.json in project wcm.wca.grc.eforms

The initial structure of my project comes from Step 1 of that tutorial, and everything looks 'like it should' to me (specifically, there is a 'webapp' folder with a 'manifest.json' in it, and also the ui5.yaml seems to indicate that webapp is the place for ui5 to look for stuff). ui5.yaml
specVersion: '3.0'

metadata: name: "wcm.wca.grc.eforms"type: applicationresources: configuration: paths: webapp: .I can't figure out why I'm getting this error or how I get past it; and I appreciate any help that could be offered.

p.s. that webapp folder does have a 'manifest.json' file, and I've done all the 'foundational checking' in terms of things being 'named correctly' without typos, etc. Thanks!

Hi Slade,

we're already working on fixing this issue. For the time being please remove following part of the ui5.yaml

configuration: 
  paths:
    webapp: .
