BUG - Unable to load i18n bundle when started with CDS

[longieirl]

Description

UI frontend is unable to load the i18n bundles when loaded via a CAP project.

i18n property function is loaded with a path of . instead of ./app/<project-name>.

This is not an issue when deployed, only impacts SAPUI5 apps when rendered locally.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Generate a CAP project;

cds init managedAppCAPProject && cd  managedAppCAPProject && npm install && cds add tiny-sample && cds add hana && cds add mta && cds add xsuaa && cds add connectivity && cds add destination && cds add html5-repo && cds build --for hana && cp gen/db/package.json db && npm i

3. Append a SAPUI5 UI app using SAP Fiori tools generator
4. Start the server using npm run start

Expected results

i18n bundle is loaded

Actual results

i18n fails to load since the project path is . and the UI app is not found in that path.

FYI @heimwege

[donal-tobin-sap]

Note that AFAIK it is not just i18n that is effected, as the app list from the manifest is coming back as an empty list so project access functions are all affected.

[donal-tobin-sap]

This may be related to the manifest version which is 1.76.0 for the customer.

[longieirl]

If there is no ui5-local.yaml in the UI5 project, then the app project is not picked up and will result in a projectRoot being returned as null. However, a ui5-local.yaml file is not part of this flow and its not expected to exist.

Removing this code and the i18n bundles are loaded;

Wondering if @PetrStribrny can confirm this flow?
