Hello Ed

When calling ResourceSetImpl.getResource, I am facing with what it looks like an incoherence.

Given an URI which does not correspond to anything (for example "platform:/resource/testproject/NonExisting.ecore"), i am calling ResourceSetImpl.getResource(uri, true); with loadOnDemand=true
The resource is not found but, as loadOnDemand=true, the resource is created but then when attempting to load it, a WrappedException is raised.

At second call to ResourceSetImpl.getResource(uri, true);, a resource is returned.

The reason is that at first call the created resource has been set on resourceSet, but the second call just return that resource.

Whatever how it works, in my opinion, both calls should have the same behavior either returning the same resource or raising an exception.

Proposition: Maybe, at first call, when internally catching the ResourceException, the resource could be removed from the resourceSet, so the second call could behave in the same way.

Looking forward to your answer.

Yes, that's expected.

This is long standing behavior and behaves as intended. A resource,
once loaded, will not be loaded again until unloaded.

Absolutely not, a load failure is generally expensive, and it's often
the case that an exception it thrown, but the resource is mostly
loaded. I.e., if some attribute that's supposed to be a number contains
something that's not a number, an exception will be thrown, but the
entire resource is loaded and only that one attribute's value is not
populated.

Note that failures to load are recorded in Resource.getErrors() so you
can examine those to determine which resources have had major or minor
problems when they were loaded.

Thanks for your quick reply. I 'll manage with Resource.getErrors() then or more beforehand with
 boolean existsResource = resourceSet.getURIConverter().exists(resourceURI, null);
which allows me not to even try getting the resource.
