Problem faced with Xtext when running in headless application [message #1770114]

Hi,

I am facing an issue when running a scenario:

I am validating a xtext resource from both Eclipse UI as well as in headless.

My validation logic checks for duplicate across the projects.

When running through Eclipse UI,
JavaProjectsState container is loaded while running in headless mode, FlatResourceSetBasedAllContainersState is loaded and the container 'all' is coming as below:
[StateBasedContainer] container 'all' from org.eclipse.xtext.resource.containers.FlatResourceSetBasedAllContainersState

So duplicate issue does not come if the resource exist in indirect reference project in Eclipse UI run, as the resource is looked upon the different container.
But when running in headless, duplicate issue comes as the container is one for all direct and indirect reference projects.

Is there any way to solve the issue in headless run? Please suggest.
Thanks.

Regards
Vikas

hmmm, am not sure if i get what your problem is. please explain in more details.
and have a look what xbase does
in ui by org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.ui.validation.ProjectAwareUniqueClassNameValidator beeing used
in standalone by org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.validation.UniqueClassNameValidator beeing used

Hi Christian,

When running in Eclipse UI, all of my projects are in different container ,e.g [[StateBasedContainer] container 'Project1' from org.eclipse.xtext.ui.containers.JavaProjectsState@4f84c9bb, [StateBasedContainer] container 'Project2' from org.eclipse.xtext.ui.containers.JavaProjectsState@4f84c9bb

But when running in standalone setup my projects are in 'all' container e.g
[StateBasedContainer] container 'all' from org.eclipse.xtext.resource.containers.FlatResourceSetBasedAllContainersState@420321a6

Is there any way I could have different containers for my projects in standalone setup?

standalone != headless != eclipse.

so what do you mean by "my projects in standalone setup"

if you really mean headless you need to make sure

- the plugins are activated
- you add bindings similar to the ones in MyDslUiModule, AbstractMyDslUiModule, DefaultUiModule etc.
e.g.
public com.google.inject.Provider<org.eclipse.xtext.resource.containers.IAllContainersState> provideIAllContainersState() {
return org.eclipse.xtext.ui.shared.Access.getJavaProjectsState();
}

=> would be interesting what you did customize to get stuff running headless.

Hi Christian,

Can I use xtext.ui component in headless? org.eclipse.xtext.ui.shared.Access.getJavaProjectsState()

yes and no,

there are parts you can use and parts you cant
i know guy that decide inside the activator of mydslui if the mydsluimodule is used or a custom headlessmydslmodule with stuff copied from mydsluimodule/abstractmydsluimodule/defaultuimodule that is not swt/workbench dependent

the real question: why doesnt your code run in real standalone mode.
what would be preferred.

Ok..My code runs in standalone mode but the issue is with different behaviour in Eclipse UI and headless mode.
for validating in headless application, I provide all my workspace projects which exists in one container and then when validation happens for duplicate , multiple entity is found as all projects are existing in one container.
But in Eclipse UI each project is a separate container and validated in that container.

I would try to explain in more detail.

Should'nt you build project by project in standalone e.g. Using xtext maven or xtext gradle plugin
