Enum: `MessageBox.Icon.NONE` being `undefined` causes Error

[boghyon]

This is a sub-issue of #4201. Due to the MessageBox.Icon.NONE being undefined, which is not allowed according to the documented guideline shown in the parent issue, calling sap/ui/base/DataType.getType("sap.m.MessageBox.Icon") currently causes:

Uncaught (in promise) Error: Value undefined for enum type sap.m.MessageBox.Icon is not a string

openui5/src/sap.m/src/sap/m/MessageBox.js

Lines 169 to 181 in 6717fc9

	NONE: undefined,

Hello @boghyon ,
Thank you for sharing this finding. I've created an internal incident DINC0487664. The status of the issue will be updated here in GitHub.

Hello @boghyon ,

Why would you assume that sap.m.MessageBox.Icon is a DataType?

Best regards,

[boghyon]

sap.m.MessageBox.Icon and .Action are both documented as enum types.

While calling DataType.getType("sap.m.MessageBox.Action").isEnumType() returns true expectedly, calling the same with "sap.m.MessageBox.Icon" fails as described above.

If they're not supposed to be real enum in contrast to the documentation, and if those types are not registered via DataType.registerEnum by design, feel free to close this issue.

Hello,

Key-value pairs of MessageBox.Icon enum are now all identical.
However, I am still confused by the relationship between "real enum" and DataType. To my understanding:

1. Types registered as DataType are intended to be used in ManagedObject and its descendants, whereas MessageBox is not such
2. Some DataType types might be enums, but not every enum is a DataType

Petar
