Description
I have an sap/ui/core/mvc/XMLView or an in XML defined sap/ui/core/Fragment. I am using a control e.g. sap/m/Text but I have forgotten to add the sap.m library to the sap.ui5/dependencies/lib array in the manifest.json.
View
<mvc:View xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc" xmlns:core="sap.ui.core" xmlns="sap.m"controllerName="ui5app.controller.Home" >
<Text text="Hello"/>
</mvc:View>
manifest.json
"sap.ui5": {
"dependencies": {
"minUI5Version": "1.121.0",
"libs": {
"sap.ui.core": {}
}
}
Goal
This scenario is detected and an finding is reported to add the missing library dependency to the manifest.json.

Research direction
Start with the supplied XML view or fragment and manifest.json examples, then trace where the linter reads used controls and declared libraries. Run the relevant linter checks and verify that using sap/m/Text without sap.m produces a finding requesting the missing manifest dependency.
