We have on-Premise apps deployed through Eclipse to our ABAP repository, with the component-preload file generated using gulp.
Now that we've moved to SAP WEB IDE, which using grunt as opposed to gulp. Can apps be deployed directly to ABAP without eclipse or will it cause conflicts?
we have a similar environment:
I manually deployed an application to our ABAP Repo. The app works but is not minified.
If you are dropping Eclipse completely and only use the WebIDE you probably won't need gulp and can replace it with the default grunt stuff generated by the WebIDE.
