Label expression with condition [message #1695825] Tue, 19 May 2015 10:30 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hello,

In a column, I would like to change the column label according to the eobject features: if there is a string, I want to show something, otherwise, show a generic label. So, I was looking for putting a "if" condition in the label expression. Unfortunately, my expression is not interpreted and my code is pasted in the column.

The condition I put is the following:
[ if (self.goalReference->isEmpty()) ]
no reference
[else]
[self.goalReference.name]
[/if]

This condition/code works using the interpreter. But when I put it in the coilumn expression, it does not work

Any idea how to do that?

Thanks.

Hello,

It seems weird that this expression works in the interpreter as an
acceleo expression should be surrounded by [ /]. Anyway, Acceleo
provides the service "if" and should be used in a single expression as
follows:
[if(self.goalReference->isEmpty()) then '' else self.goalReference.name
endif/]

Note that if goalReference is a multivalued reference (as you use the
operation ->isEmpty) "self.goalReference.name" will return the
concatenation of the name of each referenced elements.

Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,

I tried the solution but it does not work and it returns nothing - maybe this is because I am using the nightly build? is there any update on the acceleo language that would explain why the first solution worked first and your suggestion does not work, either in the interpreter or in the label expression?

Hello,

I do not think that this is caused by the version being a nightly build
(but I have been wrong before). The Acceleo language is pretty stable
and the nightly build should not be that different from an official
release. Why do you use a nightly build instead of a stable release?
Anyway, can you describe a little bit how is made your metamodel to work
this out? Is "goalReference" a multivalued reference? What is its parent
Metaclass? What is the type of this reference.

Regards,
Steve

Hi

I have same problem. I set label expression to 'feature:isIdentifier' and I get either 'false' or 'true' string. That's right.

But I see nothing, when I set label expression to
[if (self.isIdentifier) then 'qwe' else 'asd' endif/]

Hi Denis

Could try [(if (self.isIdentifier) then 'qwe' else 'asd' endif)/] ?

Note the () around the if .. endif: this force Acceleo to see it as an
OCL if.

This might indicate an issue in the Sirius Acceleo bridge.

Regards

Hi

It doesn't help Sad Here is a test project:
https://github.com/AresEkb/anchor

My odesign file:
https://github.com/AresEkb/anchor/blob/master/anchor.design/description/anchor.odesign

And test model:
https://github.com/AresEkb/anchor/tree/master/anchor.tests/model

Even ['qwe'/] returns nothing...

Hi,

You are mixing AQL (aql:) and Acceleo syntax ([/]).
See the documentation https://www.eclipse.org/sirius/doc/specifier/general/Writing_Queries.html to know more.
