[ETL] Transformation can't access part of metamodel [message #1038820]

Hello,

I'm experiencing some difficulties with transformations when I try to follow references through files. The simplified model is like this:

test.asm.xmi:
- AssemblerObject (name = asm.test)
- InstructionCall (instruction = <Reference to MOVLW element below>)
- InstructionCallParameter (definition = <Reference to parameter element under MOVLW>, value = 5)

instructionSet.xmi:
- InstructionSet (name = iset)
- Instruction (name = MOVLW)
- InstructionParameter (defaultValue = 0)

The input of the transformation is the test.asm.xmi file and it fails at the following code:

rule assemble 
	transform assem : asm!AssemblerObject
	to hexfile : hex!HexFile {
	
	for (call in assem.instructions) { 
		
		var i = call.instruction;
			
		i.eClass.println();	
		call.println();
		i.eIsProxy().println();
		i.name.println(); // Execution fails here, because it can't find 'name' property, but it's obviously there
			
	}
}

Is this because the referenced Instruction (variable i) is in another resource? I can query its metamodel, even list its eStructuralFeatures but still can't access the values of any of its properties.

The whole project (with metamodels, transformation and ant script) can be accessed here: github.com/balazsgrill/junk/tree/Epsilon/epsilon-test

Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi Balázs,

Could you please store and share your launch configuration as well with the project on GitHub? I've tried to reproduce this with the one attached (had to comment out lines 84-88 as they refer to a Java tool I don't have) and it seems to be working fine for me.

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi!

Yes, the currently uploaded version works, because it uses the reflective Ecore API instead of the EMF property name, see line 19-20:

		//var i_parameters = i.parameters; 
		var i_parameters = i.eGet(i.eClass.eStructuralFeatures[0]);

If you uncomment line 19, it will fail with the following exception:

Property 'parameters' not found in object org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.DynamicEObjectImpl@265b6acb [eProxyURI: file:/C:/work/git/junk/epsilon-test/microchip.pic16.instructions.xmi#//@instructions.25 eClass: org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EClassImpl@50c02acb [name: Instruction] [instanceClassName: null] [abstract: false, interface: false]] (C:\work\git\junk\epsilon-test\compiler.assemble.etl@19:29)

Further inspection revealed that if I use generated EMF code registered in the platform the transformation runs successfully. The problem only exists when simple ecore files are used and the model is loaded into dynamic eobjects.
