Missing src and xtend-gen source folders in xtext some projects [message #1782836]

Oi guys
I have a xtext project working fine locally. But when I push this project to the git and other developer pull this project from git, the project mydsl.ide are missing required source folders "src" and "xtend-gen", and the project mydsl.tests have this two source folders, but the Eclipse Problems window teels that they are missing. I already compared my local and remote projects, and they seem be equal.
Note: at the first push a had some .gitignore: .classpath, .project, .settings/, target/, bin/, xtend-gen/ and src-gen/.
Now I already removed all this ignored entries an pushed the new files, but it still don't work.
I'm using xtext version 2.10.0.
I appreciate any tips.

did you commit these folders empty? did you run workflow after import?

Hi

The missing xtend-gen should go away automatically when the project next builds. Perhaps you haven't checked the .project file into GIT. If you have no Xtend files then eliminate all redundant xtend-gen references.

The missing src is more worrying. If you really have no source files then make sure you really eliminate all traces of the src directory. If you have source files then Eclipse is in a wierd state so just try cleaning and restarting. If src files are auto-generated, you may want to have a dummy file in the source tree to avoid GUIT pruning the 'redundant' directory.

I find that changing GIT commits reacts badly with the Eclipse and Xtext incremental builders which start rebuilding long before GIT has finished changing. Perhaps you just need an Eclipse restart, clean and rebuild. You might want to try switching off auto-build while changing GIT commits.

You can lower the severity of build path problems to warning:
- Java / Compiler / Building / Build Path Problems / Incomplete Build Path => Warning
Or check in an empty file into that folders (I use usually '.gitkeep' as file name)

Note that Git cannot handle empty folders and you are ignoring src-gen and xtend-gen. Actually often I do the same, while changing the build path problem severity.

Both solutions worked fine for me: "Incomplete Build Path as Warning" as ".gitkeep".

Thank you very much.
