Problem declaring constraints on Eclipse Oxygen [message #1816380]

Hello,

I am developing a project in EVL, using Eclipse Oxygen and I've been having issues when declaring constraints for model validations. The problem comes when I declare the fix portion for when the validation fails. Here one has to declare the message and then, the do instruction, however im not sure if it has something to do with the version of Eclipse and the corresponding version of Epsilon, but the execution is not entering the do declaration. The execution succesfully enters the fix, (we know this because the message was shown correctly on the validations tab ) but it doesn't enter the do.
Any help concerning this issue would be of great help, I have attached a picture of the snippet of code.

Hi Gregorio,

Your constraint looks fine to me. Could you please provide a minimal example [1] I can use to reproduce this locally?

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hey Dmitiris!,
Thank you for your quick response, I was able to understand where i was failing and it was on the underlying knowledge that the do statement executes on command, and not automatically as the constraint fails. I was simply not triggering the do. However, this issue brought up another question which, if you could answer, it would be great. Is there a command or a statement that, unlike do, would execute automatically? Greatly appreciate all your help!

Hi Grigorio,

You could implement auto-fixing behaviour in the check part of your constraint. e.g.

constraint AutoFix {
  check {
    if (self.problemDetected()) self.fixProblem();
    return true;
  }
}

Cheers,
Dimitris
