Tutorial question: IQualifiedNameProvider needs explicit type [message #1240627]

I'm going through the 15 minutes tutorial (extended), but the code for the generator from https://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/documentation.html#DomainmodelNextSteps fails to compile with the following errors on the line:

@Inject extension IQualifiedNameProvider

- Cannot infer type
- The field IQualifiedNameProvider needs an explicit type since there is no initialization expression to infer the type from.

This is rather frustrating, as it is the code taken directly (without modification) from the tutorial (with the proper imports).

Is there something missing in the tutorial? How can I fix this?

Thank you.

Hi,

which Xtext version do you use? i just gave it a try with 2.5.0/2.5.1 and it works wonderful
what is especially strange is that it thinks IQualifiedNameProvider in the name and not the type.

It should works.

Check the imports:

import com.google.inject.Inject
import org.eclipse.xtext.naming.IQualifiedNameProvider

I solved it, but I'm not sure what exactly was the problem. Looking in the "Problems" tab, I saw two strange errors where it was complaining about the empty space between '@Inject' and 'extension' and between 'extension' and 'IQualifiedNameProvider'. I retyped the spaces and now it works just fine. I'm not sure how it happened. I figure it was something to do with copy and paste, but I don't remember where exactly I copied it from, if it was from the website or the internal help contents, and I cannot reproduce it again. Anyway, it works now, so it can be marked as solved.

Thanks.

PS: I'm using Xtext 2.5.1.v201402030714 on

Version: Kepler Service Release 1
Build id: 20130919-0819
