Hi,

I have an issue, which stops my work with ATL. I suppose it happen only to me.
I cannot see ATL syntax suggestions. For instance after dot notation:

something.association.[here after dot I want to see suggestions, to chose for instance oclIsUndefined() method]

Also I have second problem: syntax checker in ATL works only when I push save button.

If I create Java project and try to do the same, all works fine, I can see suggestions and syntax is checked.

These two problems are common for all ATL developers, or only for me?
What are your suggestions?

I really appreciate your help.
Thanks and regards,
Tforu

Hi Tforu,

You are not the only one having those issues...

syntax suggestions-> 2 thinks coming in my mind.
Firstly check if you have any syntax mistakes in the lines above this

something.association.[here after dot I want to see suggestions, to chose for instance oclIsUndefined() method]

..mistakes like a forgotten or additional comma ","

Secondly maybe your atl file has wrong or no header information. When you make the atl file, it asks you, whether you want a "module" or a "query" and other stuff, if you choose the module you should fill IN and OUT metamodels fields or else no suggestions for you sir....

syntax checker -> I have no suggestions for this problem, it happens to me too and I just leave with it.... Sad

Thank you very much for your reply!

With syntax checker understood, that it is for everybody.
But "suggestions" works for you fine?

Thanks,
Tforu

Hi Tforu and Thanasis (and everyone else Smile

)

I agree with Thanasis. If you have syntax mistakes above the line where you are trying to request content assist, it won't work. The missing comma issue is very typical !!
It is also very important the first two lines of the ATL file. As you can read in the ATL documentation

------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------
First we add two lines at the top of the file, one for each metamodel, so that the editor can use the auto-completion and documentation
when we type in some code concerning the two metamodels:
-- @path Families=/Families2Persons/Families.ecore
-- @path Persons=/Families2Persons/Persons.ecore
------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------

But I want to notice that, even when all the stuff above is correct, many times, if not always, the content assistant does not work when you are inside an iteration expresion.
