Some Validation Rules are not executed properly within the generated plugin. [message #1785602]

Hello fellow modelers,

I am relatively new to Sirius. To date I have created the design tool I wanted for my meta-model using Sirius and it works flawlessly within the runtime environment. All the validation rules I included work as intended as well.

However, when I export it as plugin and use the plugin instead, some validation rules seem to either not get executed at all or their evaluation is not correct.

I have narrowed down the issue to two categories. To explain them let me introduce you to the structure of my meta-model. It has a root element lets call it R. This R element contains any number of some other element A. That element A is inherited by many other elements, Ai.

So for the validation rules that I have selected any of the Ai elements as the Target Class, everything works fine in both environments. The validation rules for the A element are evaluated wrong in the plugin environment, while they are evaluated correctly in runtime environment. The validation rules for the root element R are evaluated properly in the runtime environment but it seems like they are completely ignored in the plugin environment.

Are there any clues on why this is the case? Is this possibly a bug? In case you need some more specific information please let me know.

I am using Sirius 5.1 on Oxygen.1 Release (4.7.1) on a Mac.

Thanks in advance for your time and your effort!

Christoforos.

Hi,

Do you use some JAVA services in validation rules of A and R that you do not use in Ai?
Also check for errors in error log.

Hello Pierre,

first of all thank you for your answer, I appreciate your time.

Regarding errors in the error log, no errors are displayed when I click on the "Validate Diagram".

On the other hand I do use one Java Service, but it is used on Validation Rules that as Target Class have Ai type elements.

On top of my previous comment and remarks, today I tested a more complex scenario and there are also some Validation rules with Target Class Ai type elements that while (again) in runtime environment are evaluated correctly but fail to do so within the plugin.

Hi again,

I must say that I don't see what could be wrong.
Can you provide us an example not working?

Regards,

Pierre

Hi Pierre,

sure. I have simplified the meta-model diagram so that you dont have to deal with any complexity and I provide here a trivial instance model of it alongside the problems and warnings I get once I click validate diagram while using the plugin. I also include the respective AQL semantic constraints that while are working properly in runtime environment, do not do so in this case.

If you need the actual .ecore .design etc. files, so that you can run them please let me know.

Again, thank you a lot for your time and effort.

Regards.

I indeed wil need a complete project allowing me to reproduce your problem or else I will not be able to help you.
It should include the metamodel project, a modeling project with a representation(diagram) were the problem occurs with the aird and model instance and your odesign.

If you do not wish to share those, you can try to make an exemple by using the ecore metamodel with adapted odesign with validation rules from your original that would cause the same problem. In this case I only need your modeling project with the design.

And if you can't manage to reproduce with ecore, just your odesign. I'll check if I see something abnormal but without garanties of finding the problem.

Hello Pierre,

thank you for your time once again and sorry for the delayed response.

Please find attached the required projects. I really hope I have overlooked something obvious while building the plugin!

Hi,

No problems.

Can you tell me what rule does not work?

Also how do you integrate your exported plugin. In the dropins folder?

Regards

Hello Pierre,

based on your question on how I integrated my plugin, I tried it to a fresh Eclipse Oxygen copy and it seems to work fine.

So I suppose that there must be some sort of conflict when the plugin is installed in the "development" Eclipse (where there exist also the corresponding Ecore/Sirius projects in the same workspace) or that something was misconfigured. I write this here so anyone in future will have this possibility also in mind once such issues occur.

Since the plugin works as intended in non development eclipse environments, I consider this issue solved, as far as I am concerned.

Therefore, thank you a lot for your time and any related effort from your part. In case I spot any related issue I will let you know.

Regards,
Christoforos
