Hi,

I am trying to open a remote file (file is on server).
The file opens in dsl editor, grammar and outline works fine.

But the file is read only. I am not able to edit the file.
I need help in this topic. How to make file editable?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Virag Purnam

Hello Mr. Christian Dietrich,

I have a new wizard named as Open Remote File.
This wizard has browse option to select file from remote server.
On click of Open button in wizard, file content gets displayed in editor. (Read only)
I want to update contents of file and save them directly in remote server.

I hope, I am clear to explain you the problem.

Best regards,
Virag Purnam

That does no answer my question. What does this open do.
Does editing work in other editors. Did you debug why it's not editable,e

URI uri = OssFileSystem.getUriFor(hostUserNamePair, remotePath);
fileStore = EFS.getStore(uri);

and OssFileSystem extends org.eclipse.core.filesystem.provider.FileSystem

We are using the above code for it.

then you should debug why the editor considers this a readonly.

Hi

What is your remote access protocol? http: and https: are often readonly. Have you checked that other tools, e.g. Notepad, are able to edit and save the edited file?

Is there a read-only flag set? Open the file's properties from context menu.

Same approach works, if we open C file or any text file.
But the behaviour is not same with dsl files.
We are using SFTP file transfer protocol.

Thanks and regards,

as i said: please use the debugger e.g. at org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.AbstractTextEditor.isEditorInputReadOnly()

Thanks Mr. Christian Dietrich,

I debugged the code suggested by you and found place which is responsible for making that read only.
Currently I just returned hard coded values and it worked.
I need to add proper code in below methods.

        @Override
	public boolean isModifiable(Object element) {
		return true;
	}
	
	@Override
	public boolean isReadOnly(Object element) {
		return false;
	}

Thanks a lot.. :)
