In my transformation, I have to put a number to objects. The number has to increment for each object (order doesn't matter). But the increment depend on a category (I have to increment from 0 for each category).
So I figure out to make a Map(String, Integer) where String contains the category and Integer contains the current increment. The Map is init with value -1 for all the categories.
And then, I created a function like the following.
helper def : getNumber(id: String) : Integer =
thisModule.myMap
.including(id, thisModule.myMap.get(id) + 1)
.get(id);
but then, I realized that the function is returning a copy, not the object itself. Which means the Map never updates. Looking a bit in ATL documentation, I found out that I could use the function to solve that problem.
helper def : getNumber(id: String) : Integer =
thisModule.refSetValue('myMap',
thisModule.myMap
.including(id, thisModule.myMap.get(id) + 1)
)
.get(id);
Doing this, my ATL transformation file doesn't work anymore (it doesn't generate the XMI file). With the previous version, it does (even if the numbering is incorrect).
Any idea?

OK, not sure I completely understand the problem but it seems that the function `getNumber` with `refSetValue` in it cannot be called in the`to` part of a rule, only in the `do` part. The function `getNumber` without `refSetValue` has no problem to be in one or the other part of a rule. So maybe `refSetValue` cannot be used anywhere (but I didn't see this information in the documentation).
