Problem: Validator/Generator cannot navigate through AST/Index/ResourceSet from Unit-Tests [message #1725978]

Hello *,

I would like to implement unit tests for mydsl. Specifically for the validator and the generators.

Both the Validator, and the generators query the index (ResourceSet) to objects in the AST - and find nothing. Why not? (Please see attached file).

In unit test I set up a ResourceSet of three models and can navigate through the AST also. However, the validator and the generators can not access the ResourceSet (or find anything).

Why is that?

The most important code snippets (for example ValidatorTest):

Unit-Test:

@RunWith(XtextRunner)
@InjectWith(MyDslInjectorProvider)
class MyDslValidatorTest {

	static val DATATYPES = '''
		datatypes {
			type Integer
			type String
			type Date
			type Timestamp
		}
	'''

//	static val CONFIGURATION = '''
//		configuration ConfigX {
//		}
//	'''

	@Inject extension ParseHelper<Model>
	@Inject extension ValidationTestHelper
	@Inject extension Provider<XtextResourceSet>

	var resourceSet = null as XtextResourceSet

	@Before
	def void setup() {
		resourceSet = get
		resourceSet.classpathURIContext = this
		
		DATATYPES.parse(URI.createURI("datatypes.mydsl"), resourceSet)

		// TESTCASE: no config should raise an error in MyDslValidator
		// val config = resourceSet.createResource(URI.createURI("config.mydsl"))
		// config.load(new StringInputStream(CONFIGURATION), emptyMap)
	}

	@Test
	def testCheckConfiguration() {
		val model = '''
			package foo.bar
			
			entity MyEntity
			{
				Id : Integer
				Name : String
				ValidFrom : Timestamp
			}
		'''.parse(URI.createURI("model.mydsl"), resourceSet)

		model.assertError(MyDslPackage.Literals.MODEL, 'ERR-CODE-0815')
	}
}

Validator:

	@Inject extension ResourceExtension

	@Check
	def checkConfiguration(Model it) {
		if (eResource.allConfigurations.nullOrEmpty) {
			error("no config? no cookies!", MyDslPackage.Literals.MODEL__PACKAGE, 'ERR-CODE-0815')
		}
	}

What's wrong in my example? *headscratch*
Please - help ;-)

Hi,

the problem is that validators silently catch errors.
if you catch for exceptions you will get

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.eclipse.xtext.resource.impl.ResourceSetBasedResourceDescriptions.getResourceDescription(ResourceSetBasedResourceDescriptions.java:111)
	at org.xtext.example.mydsl.extensions.ResourceExtension.getAllResourceDescriptions(ResourceExtension.java:41)
	at org.xtext.example.mydsl.extensions.ResourceExtension.getAllObjectDescriptions(ResourceExtension.java:54)
	at org.xtext.example.mydsl.extensions.ResourceExtension.getAllConfigurations(ResourceExtension.java:63)
	at org.xtext.example.mydsl.validation.MyDslValidator.checkConfiguration(MyDslValidator.java:36)

so the problem is your impl of the resourceextensions

class ResourceExtension {

	@Inject ResourceDescriptionsProvider indexProvider
	@Inject IResourceServiceProvider.Registry registery

	private def IContainer.Manager getManager(Resource it) {
		registery.getResourceServiceProvider(URI).containerManager;
	}

	private def getAllResourceDescriptions(Resource it) {
		val index = indexProvider.getResourceDescriptions(it)
		val resourceDescByURI =  index.getResourceDescription(URI)
		manager.getVisibleContainers(resourceDescByURI, index).map[resourceDescriptions].flatten
	}

(alternatively call iresourcedescriptions.setContext manually)
