[Version: ] error on cds serve with specified service

[kulliax]

Describe the bug
We have a large monorepo and recently integrated the plugin; our applications run in different modules. Consequently, we include a command that starts the relevant services.

The plugin works without any issues when using cds serve. However, if a specific service is started, it no longer works (all requests return a 502 error). The log provides no clues as to the cause; after a process of elimination, we identified the plugin. It appears that the ProcessService service is required here. However, if this is included in the start command, the error persists.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
deploy module with start command and define service to start

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

no error's and better/improved log

[ ] is it a regression issue?

OK, I’ve finally figured it out after a long search: the imported process (in package.json) needs to be added in addition to the services. Pls update docu.

Hi @kulliax, what do you mean by "a specific service is started"? How do you start it?

The ProcessService configuration is merged into your environment if you have the plugin installed in that project. And could you explain the solution you found in detail? If you execute the cds import command in your project, the service entry should be added after import automatically.

Hi @SirSimon04 ,

We have a bigger project with various services, such as Admin, User and API.

These also have different resource allocations. For example, the Admin service is always small. The API service has more capacity and is allowed to scale; it also has bindings to other services. And so on... this is controlled in the MTA by command. In this example, a BPA process should only be started from the User Service.
