Problems with the Diff-Feature [message #1689364]

Hello there,

i am new to EMF-Compare and i use it to compare parts of my models. I have enountered a problem with the comparison where there are differences but the compare algorithm cant find them.

here are my two models

index.php/fa/21275/0/

Here is the code i use:

IComparisonScope scope = new DefaultComparisonScope(sourceEPackage,
				deletedModelEPackage, null);
Comparison comparison = EMFCompare.builder().build().compare(scope);
List<Diff> differences = comparison.getDifferences();

After i have run the code the list is empty.

Any other changes are found and properly shown.

The model on picture 2 is contained in another element not shown in the screenshot. Is it possible that this causes the error?

I am using org.eclipse.emf.compare with version 3.0.2.201501201328

I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

Hi Simon,

Unfortunately, EMF Compare doesn't support the comparison of EGenerics inside EType Parameters yet. So it is normal that you see no differences in your case.
You can raise an enhancement bug to describe what you need: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=EMFCompare
If you're interested to contribute to EMF Compare and manage this case, you can follow the contributor guide: https://wiki.eclipse.org/EMF_Compare/Contributor_Guide

Regards,

Simon,

There is nothing wrong with your enhancement request, just that we missed it among the rest of the active bugzilla entries. Then again, this particular issue is not a priority for the EMF Compare team as there are more pressing bugs to handle.

We are open to contributions though, and we look at contributed patches asap. So if this issue is important for you and you want to try and tackle it yourself, please do. You'll probably have to look in the direction of our org.eclipse.emf.compare.diff.FeatureFilter , since we probably filter out the differences on EGenericTypes.
