Four specs failed on release/7.20 once the list went from 19 to 24. Three of the
four are addressed here; the fourth is a spec that cannot pass and is now
excluded with an issue.
download.cy.ts - it clears the downloads folder in an afterEach through
cy.task('deleteFolder'), and that task was registered only in
cypress/plugins/index.js, which Cypress 10+ never loads unless it is required
from cypress.config.ts. The task is now registered in setupNodeEvents, where
Cypress looks, and the login in its beforeEach only fills the form when the form
is actually on screen - the unconditional version failed with 'the center of this
element is hidden from view' whenever the session was already live.
csv-limited.cy.ts and hook-programs.cy.ts - neither is broken; both depend on
where they sit in the run. csv-limited asserts the free-tier 'Locked Feature'
modal, which an earlier spec removes by planting a valid licence, and
hook-programs asserts an approval row against its target table before other specs
have added rows to the approval tables. The list is now the sequence that was
green for months, with csv-limited first and hook-programs second, and the newer
specs appended rather than inserted. The script says why order matters, because
the next person to alphabetise it will break the same two specs.
metanav.cy.ts - cannot pass, and says so in its own source: '// BLOCKER ...
.clr-accordion-header-button always null although it is present on the page'.
With the duplicate login in its beforeEach removed it now reaches that assertion
and fails there, so it is excluded from the list with #395 as the reason, and the
login fix is kept for whoever picks it up. The coverage check now distinguishes a
deliberate exclusion from a forgotten file, so nothing can go missing silently.
Not verified locally: the specs need an estate seeded by 'sasjs cbd -t server-ci'
plus makedata, which a scratch mock does not reproduce - the app never leaves
app-loading. The CI run is the verification.
Data Controller for SAS
Control your manual data modifications!
Alternatives to Data Controller include:
- 💾 Developing / testing / deploying / scheduling overnight batch jobs to load files from shared drives
- 🔒 Opening (and locking) datasets in Enterprise Guide or SAS® Table Viewer to perform direct updates
- ❓ Asking a #DBA to run validated code after a change management process
- 🌐 Building & maintaining your own custom web application
- 🏃 Running #SAS or #SQL updates in production
Problems with the above include:
- Legacy 'black box' solutions with little to no testing, documentation or support
- End users requiring direct write access to critical data sources in production
- Upload routines that must be manually modified when the data model changes
- Breaches due to unnecessary parties having access to the data
- Inability to trace who made a change, when, and why
- Reliance on key individuals to perform updates
- Building bespoke ETL for every new data source
- High risk of manual error / data corruption
Data Controller for SAS® solves all these issues in a simple-to-install, user-friendly, secure, documented, battle-tested web application. Available on Viya, SAS 9 EBI, and SASjs Server.
An individual Viya deploy can be done in just 2 lines of #SAS code!

Development
Lighthouse CI
This project includes automated Lighthouse performance and accessibility checks that run on pull requests. The checks ensure:
- Accessibility Score: Minimum 1.0 (100%) median score across all tested pages
The Lighthouse CI workflow:
- Sets up the development environment with SASjs server and mocked services
- Builds and serves the Angular frontend
- Installs Chrome and runs
lhci autorun(Lighthouse CI) against key pages - Uploads results as artifacts for review
To run Lighthouse checks locally:
cd client
npm install
npm run lighthouse
Configuration is in client/lighthouserc.js (URL list, desktop preset, Chrome flags, assertions).
