Missing fsa.deleteFile implementation in generator of language server [message #1858997] Thu, 04 May 2023 18:36 Go to next message

Hello,

my code-generator implementation requires to call the deleteFile-method of the given FileSystemAccess2 implementation.
While the eclipse runtime instance seems to work fine, the language server crashes with an UnsupportedOperationException which can be traced back to https://github.com/eclipse/xtext/blob/main/org.eclipse.xtext/src/org/eclipse/xtext/generator/AbstractFileSystemAccess.java#L116 (See appended img).

I already tried to use the deleteFile-method of an injected JavaIoFileSystemAccess, which successfully deletes the file when using the language server. But within an eclipse-runtime instance, the files won't be deleted. So I tried to also invoke fsa.deleteFile like in following code snipped:

@Inject JavaIoFileSystemAccess javaFsa

void doGenerate(Resource model, IFileSystemAccess2 fsa, IGeneratorContext context) {
    // ...

    // successfully deletes the specified file when using the language server,
    // but not when using the eclipse-runtime instance.
    javaFsa.deleteFile(filepath); 

    // Prevent language server from calling fsa.deleteFile to prevent UnsupportedOperationException.
    if(fsa.isFile(filepath) { 
        // While this is never called by the language server, the eclipse instance doesn't call it either...
        fsa.deleteFile(filepath); 
    }
   // ...
}


I am grateful for any possible solution.

Kind regards

Can you debug which filesystem access class is actually in the context.
Is it really the abstract class, if yes why

Hi Christian,

I dig a bit further and it seems like, that the IncrementalBuilder retrieves an URIBasedFileSystemAccess instance (as seen here: https://github.com/eclipse/xtext/blob/main/org.eclipse.xtext/src/org/eclipse/xtext/build/IncrementalBuilder.java#L364).
The URIBasedFileSystemAccess does not implement/override the deleteFile-method. Neither does the AbstractFileSystemAccess2, which URIBasedFileSystemAccess extends.
Therefore the implementation of deleteFile is taken from the parent class of AbstractFileSystemAccess2, which is AbstractFileSystemAccess.

In other words:
URIBasedFileSystemAccess::deleteFile calls AbstractFileSystemAccess2::deleteFile, which calls AbstractFileSystemAccess::deleteFile, which then throws the exception.

I've created a minimal xtext-lsp project. You can find it over here: https://github.com/GlancingMind/xtext-lsp-missing-deleteFile-impl.
The only things I've changed are the generator implementation and a custom LSP-ServerLauncher class.

Greetings

Hey Christian,

thanks for the reply. For now I'm fine with only one working application (eclipse-instance or language server).
Nonetheless I've opened a bug report. The link is https://github.com/eclipse/xtext/issues/2655.

Greetings
