GenDoc problems (noob) [message #1814930]

Hi,
I'm testing Gendoc, aiming to generate word docs based on UML+Papyrus models. After running into problems there, I decided to try the sample project here:

https://wiki.eclipse.org/Gendoc/samples/genericTemplate

And ran intro problems there as well:

file containing properties : /template/conf.properties does not exist
The execution of a script failed: The model Model can not be loaded from URL: "" can not be loaded
...

It seems that it cannot load the conf.properties file, but it is clearly there, at <project-root>/template/conf.properties

Some details about my installation that could be relevant:
- Eclipse: 2019-06
- Acceleo 3.7.8.201902261618
- EMF - Eclipse Modeling Framework SDK 2.18.0.v20190528-0845
- Gendoc 0.7.2.201904251202
- Papyrus bundle for Gendoc 0.7.2.201904251202

Any ideas what could cause the problem or what I could try instead?
Thanks,

Joel

Hello
indeed it is a strange behavior. Can you copy paste the content of the error log view (Window > Views > Show > Error log) ?

Hi Tristan,

I noticed that the problem only occurs when I run gendoc in a runtime instance of eclipse, which is use to test another unrelated plugin. The problem does not occur in the base eclipse workspace! I can't think of a reason why there is a problem in the a runtime workspace. But that's partly good news and I can use Gendoc that way.

Nevertheless, here are the error log entries. It simply states that conf.properties does not exist... Does that help you spot the problem?

1..
!ENTRY org.eclipse.gendoc.services 4 4 2019-09-23 11:16:53.117
!MESSAGE file containing properties : /template/conf.properties does not exist

2. ALSO When invoking the context menu (right click on docx file), I get

Glad to know you would be able to use Gendoc :) just for information in which context will you use it ? for which language?

I never tested the sample project in runtime, I think it uses variables that are not recognized. (Maybe you can try to replace in the docx the path of your properties file with an absolute path)

Hi Tristan,
It seems that the relevant difference in the two workspaces was not that one was a runtime workspace and the other not---it was rather because I imported the project from the zip file in two different ways.
1. Import -> Import projects from folder or archive
vs.
2. Import -> Existing projects into workspace.

The first method created a path
.../SampleGendocProject.zip_expanded/SampleProject/...

whereas the second method created simply ...//SampleProject/...

Probably something in the path was problematic? I don't have time to investigate more deeply now.

Regarding your question: I'm planning to generate documentation based on UML+Papyrus diagrams. (Component, class, sequence diagrams)

Hello
OK I understand ! Project loc is If I remember transformed according to the workspace path
When you do " 2. Import -> Existing projects into workspace." you did not check the option "copy" ?

Maybe you should try other variables ?
