Check if a language/grammar file is defined twice in Workspace [message #1816430]

Hi,

We have a Visual Studio Code language extension written in Xtext. We need to make sure that certain grammar files (with certain extensions) are defined only once inside the workspace, and if not show a validation error.

Is there perhaps an easy way to do this with XText?

Thanks a lot

hi, i am not sure if i get your problem
what makes a file "defined twice"
you do you mean something like:

there should be only one

"Hello World!" in all mydsl files in the project?

This is a job for the validator.

Lorenzo Bettini found a very simple to understand implementation

Source: https://github.com/LorenzoBettini/packtpub-xtext-book-examples/blob/master/org.example.smalljava/src/org/example/smalljava/validation/SmallJavaValidator.xtend

@Check
def void checkNoDuplicateMember(SJMember member) {
val duplicate = member.containingClass.members.findFirst[
it != member && it.eClass == member.eClass &&
it.name == member.name
]
if (duplicate != null)
error("Duplicate member '" + member.name + "'",
SmallJavaPackage::eINSTANCE.SJMember_Name,
DUPLICATE_ELEMENT
)
}

HIH, Uli
