Cross reference to duplicate items in the model [message #1803647]

Hello,

When the model has duplicate items, cross reference always goes to the first one or randomly.
I want to achieve cross reference to a particular item based on condition. I have created a sample xtext project.

Grammar:

grammar org.xtext.example.mydsl.MyDsl with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals

generate myDsl "http://www.xtext.org/example/mydsl/MyDsl"

Model:
	conts+=Cont* procs+=Proc*;
	
Cont:
	'Cont' name=ID '{' items+=Item* '}' ;

Item: 'Item' name=ID;


Proc:
	'Link' item1=[Item|ID] 'OF' con1=[Cont|ID] 'TO' item2=[Item|ID] 'OF' con2=[Cont|ID]
;

MyDslScopeProvider:

class MyDslScopeProvider extends AbstractMyDslScopeProvider {
	
	override getScope(EObject context, EReference reference) {
		if(context instanceof Proc){
			if(reference.featureID == MyDslPackage.PROC__ITEM1 || reference.featureID == MyDslPackage.PROC__ITEM2){
				val rootElement = EcoreUtil2.getContainerOfType(context, Model);
				val candidates = getItems(rootElement)				
				return Scopes.scopeFor(candidates)
			}
		}
		return super.getScope(context, reference);
	}
	
	def List<EObject> getItems(Model model) {
		var retList = newArrayList
		for(cont : model.conts){
			for(item : cont.items){
				retList.add(item)
			}
		}
		retList		
	}

}

Sample Model:

Cont container1 {
	Item item1
}

Cont container2 {
	Item item1
}  

Link item1 OF container1 TO item1 OF container2

In the sample model, I want the cross reference on "item1" to go to correct definition based on container. That means "item1 OF container1" should point to item1 defined in container1 and " item1 OF container2" should point to item1 defined in container2.

Is it possible to achieve?
Kindly help me with this regard.

Thanks and regards,
Virag Purnam

Hi what about simply implement the scoping?
This is basically the same as reference to a class and a field

Need professional support for Xtext, Xpand, EMF?

Hi Mr. Christian Dietrich,

I will give a try.
I will read the "Link" and find the corresponding container and will restrict the scoping to the container.

Thanks and regards,

Works fine with below changes in MyDslScopeProvider

class MyDslScopeProvider extends AbstractMyDslScopeProvider {

	override getScope(EObject context, EReference reference) {
		if (context instanceof Proc) {
			if (reference.featureID == MyDslPackage.PROC__ITEM1) {
				var contName = (context as Proc).con1.name
				val rootElement = EcoreUtil2.getContainerOfType(context, Model);
				val candidates = getItems(rootElement, contName)
				return Scopes.scopeFor(candidates)
			} else if (reference.featureID == MyDslPackage.PROC__ITEM2) {
				var contName = (context as Proc).con2.name
				val rootElement = EcoreUtil2.getContainerOfType(context, Model);
				val candidates = getItems(rootElement, contName)
				return Scopes.scopeFor(candidates)
			}			
		}
		return super.getScope(context, reference);
	}

	def List<EObject> getItems(Model model, String contName) {
		var retList = newArrayList
		for (cont : model.conts) {
			if (cont.name.equals(contName)) {
				for (item : cont.items) {
					retList.add(item)
				}
			}
		}
		retList
	}

}
