Alternative for RunOnce engine in v1.0.0 [message #1744348] Mon, 26 September 2016 08:45 Go to next message

Hello,

I found out that the RunOnce engine does not work anymore on EMF-Incquery version 1.0.0. As described in the bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=488439, I experience the same problem with the same exceptions.
My question is: Is there any workaround for this (instead of incorporating the patch delivered in version 1.2.0) or an alternative to RunOnce engine (e.g. another engine in case we do not want incremental evaluation)?
Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Tu

I assume that you have some reason to keep using EMF-IncQuery 1.0.0 instead of migrating to a version that already has a fix for this issue.

As for a workaround using EMF-IncQuery 1.0.0, I have one suggestion:
The problem occurs because a type is not yet registered into the base index when the traversal realises that it has a feature which is not well-behaving but is needed for the queries you are trying to run.
The cause is that the implementation in 1.0.0 registers these types immediately _and_ gives information to the traversing visitor that are not entirely accurate.
Two possible workarounds:
1. initialize the base index of the engine in wildcard mode (this will ensure that all types are registered, so the problem does not occur)
2. (not tested, but should work based on the source code) manually register the types with such features _before_ the query engine starts evaluating queries

API for 1.: https://www.eclipse.org/viatra/javadoc/releases/incquery-1.0.0/org/eclipse/incquery/runtime/base/api/BaseIndexOptions.html#withWildcardMode-boolean-
API for 2: https://www.eclipse.org/viatra/javadoc/releases/incquery-1.0.0/org/eclipse/incquery/runtime/base/api/NavigationHelper.html#registerEClasses-java.util.Set-

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems that the baseIndexOptions field is private and we cannot initialize it in wildcard mode in client code. Is there any workaround for this 1st workaround Sad ?

Hi,

you cannot change the BaseIndexOptions after the engine/base index is created. For creating a query engine in wildcard mode, initialize an EMFScope [1] with the corresponding base index options.

Best regards,
Zoltán

Hi Zoltan,

Still the RunOnce engine is initialized with a Notifier, not an IncQueryScope. I could not find a way to pass the EMFScope variable.

Best regards,
Tu

The good news is that Abel's solution does work. However, I have no other solution but to extend the RunOnceQuery and initialize it with an EMF scope which is created from base index options in wildcard mode. For me this temporary fix can do the job while waiting for our next migration to version 1.2.0.

Best regards,
Tu
