AST always getting generated despite errors [message #1115085]

Hi All,

I have a XText DSL having certain validators specified.
I am using the generated AST in another code and storing it in the EMF model.

This AST is always generated even though there are certain DSL errors/validation errors, and the AST just 'skips' those specific error cases, and adds on the error free details. So the generated AST is a parsed format of the 'error-free' grammar only.

Is there some way wherein we donot generate the AST at all in case there is any grammar error, rather than the partial generation of the error-free grammar.

It would be great if any of you can provide some help.

Thanks,
Rohit

Hi,

this is intended behaviour. why dont you simply ask the resource if it has errors?

Hi,

you did give no context what you do with the model and how you access it.
you would no change the parser or stuff but the code
that works with the AST

(if you have an EObject you can ask it for its eResource and that for errors.
