Refactoring command with custom Refactor class fails [message #1815926]

Hi all,

I need some advice in implementing a refactoring action for my DSL based files.

My goal is to implement an extraction command which extracts the selected lines of the editor into another file.

I found the ExtractVariable command in the xtext sources and tried to implement something similar. (org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.ui.refactoring.ExtractVariableHandler)

There the ExtractVariableHandler makes use of ExtractVariableRefactoring.

I also created such a handler making use of my custom refactoring action.
Once I trigger the refactoring action from the menu nothing happens.
The ExtractVariableHandler class makes use of a refactoringProvider which is a
Provider<ExtractVariableRefactoring> object.
In my case I changed that to Provider<MyDslExtractRefactoring>, but then the handler isn't triggered anymore.
Once I set the class of my refactoring provider to anything else like Provider<ExtractVariableRefactoring> the execute() method of the handler is triggered.

Is it necessary to register or inject that Refactoring close anywhere else?

In my plugin.xml I introduced the handler only.

Thanks in advance!

best regards,
Martin

How does your plugin.xml look like
Do you make correct use of yourdslexecutableextensionfactory
Did you debug for exceptions

Hi Christian,

thanks for your fast reply.
I couldn't find any exceptions yet.

In the plugin.xml I have just added the handler for now:


<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.handlers">
<handler
class="de.test.dsl.ui.MyDslExecutableExtensionFactory:de.test.dsl.ui.refactoring.ExtractDrHandler"
commandId="de.test.dsl.ui.refactoring.ExtractDrHandler">
<activeWhen>
<reference
definitionId="de.test.dsl.mydsl.Editor.opened">
</reference>
</activeWhen>
</handler>
</extension>
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution
locationURI="popup:#TextEditorContext?after=group.edit">
<command commandId="de.test.dsl.ui.refactoring.ExtractDrHandler"
style="push">
<visibleWhen checkEnabled="false">
<reference
definitionId="de.test.dsl.mydsl.Editor.opened">
</reference>
</visibleWhen>
</command>
</menuContribution>
</extension>


Then I created the class "de.test.dsl.ui.refactoring.ExtractDrHandler"

There I added this member:
@Inject
private Provider<ExtractDrRefactoring> refactoringProvider;

The other members are just a copy of the ExtractVariableHandler.

Then I created the class "de.test.dsl.ui.refactoring.ExtractDrRefactoring".
It extends the Refactoring class and is a copy of ExtractVariableRefactoring.

I can see the popup entry in the menu but clicking doesn't do anything.
I also cannot debug to the handler as it seems that the handler is never reached.

Thanks again!

best regards,
Martin

so if you debug your handler wont stop?
you may also have a look at

Hi Christian,

thanks for your efforts and the link.

I have re-implemented the handler and the refactoring class and now it's working.

At the beginning I copied all members from the ExtractVariable and the also the RenameHandler to my file.
Now I tried to use the required steps only.

Perhaps some of those injection commands failed there.

Best regards,
Martin
