How can I define an xtext formatter for my DSL in Xtext 2.10 ?
The formatting/formatter package is not generated any more

simply add

formatter = {
    generateStub = true
}

to the workflow

Thank you for this hint. Now I get the following error if runing the Generator workflow:

The file /model/generated/FormatterModel.genmodel definitly exists in my project hence it is generated by an earlier step in the workflow,

My workflow looks like this:

module de.mdsd.xtext.support.formatter.model.GenerateFormatterModel

import org.eclipse.xtext.xtext.generator.*
import org.eclipse.xtext.xtext.generator.model.project.*

var rootPath = ".."

Workflow {
	
	component = XtextGenerator {
		configuration = {
			project = StandardProjectConfig {
				baseName = "de.mdsd.xtext.support.formatter.model"
				rootPath = rootPath
				runtimeTest = {
					enabled = true
				}
				eclipsePlugin = {
					enabled = true
				}
				eclipsePluginTest = {
					enabled = true
				}
				createEclipseMetaData = true
			}
			code = {
				encoding = "UTF-8"
				fileHeader = "/*\n * generated by Xtext \${version}\n */"
			}
		}
		language = StandardLanguage {
			name = "de.mdsd.xtext.support.formatter.model.FormatterModel"
			referencedResource = "platform:/resource/org.eclipse.xtext/org/eclipse/xtext/Xtext.genmodel"
			referencedResource = "platform:/resource/org.eclipse.emf.codegen.ecore/model/GenModel.genmodel"
			fileExtensions = "fm"

			formatter = {
			    generateStub = true
			}
			serializer = {
				generateStub = false
			}
			validator = {
				// composedCheck = "org.eclipse.xtext.validation.NamesAreUniqueValidator"
			}
		}
	}
}

this looks like a bug to me. can you file a ticket with a minimal reproducing example?

as a workaround.

(1) generate a class manually

package org.xtext.example.mydsl2.formatting2

import com.google.inject.Inject
import org.eclipse.xtext.formatting2.AbstractFormatter2
import org.eclipse.xtext.formatting2.IFormattableDocument
import org.xtext.example.mydsl2.myDsl.Greeting
import org.xtext.example.mydsl2.myDsl.Model
import org.xtext.example.mydsl2.services.MyDslGrammarAccess

class MyDslFormatter extends AbstractFormatter2 {
	
	@Inject extension MyDslGrammarAccess

	def dispatch void format(Model model, extension IFormattableDocument document) {
		// TODO: format HiddenRegions around keywords, attributes, cross references, etc. 
		for (Greeting greetings : model.getGreetings()) {
			greetings.format;
		}
	}
	
	// TODO: implement for 
}

(2) bind it

public Class<? extends IFormatter2> bindIFormatter2() {
		return MyDslFormatter.class;
	}

btw

referencedResource = "platform:/resource/org.eclipse.xtext/org/eclipse/xtext/Xtext.genmodel"
referencedResource = "platform:/resource/org.eclipse.emf.codegen.ecore/model/GenModel.genmodel"

sounds very unusual

Here is an minimal example. I striped my grammar by commenting to make it minimal. I figured out it has to do with the registration of other genmodels in the workflow file. The example grammar does not use other genmodels but if you declare an other genmodel in the work flow it does not run anymore.

I thing it may concern with the fact that the referenced genmodel is inside an eclipse plugin.

It turned out that this problem seems to exist only with the GenModel.genmodel.

well yes but referencedResource = "platform:/resource/org.eclipse.emf.codegen.ecore/model/GenModel.genmodel" is not neccessary.
so you seem to make strange things in your ecore

I need the generator infos from the GenClasses to generate class files. Wy only GenModel.genmodel does not work in the workflow ? Is there analternative ?

having a old 2.8.x style workflow. the new generator is buggy reegarding such usecases. this is why we need tickets with reprodung example (and time to fix it)
