Dear all,
I am sorry if this is a very stupid question but I could not find a solution after two days of tries, forum/internet browsing.

I am using XText SDK 2.30 and Eclipse EMF 202303. I am trying to run code generation by using/adapting the 15min tutorial available in the documentation, however I have not been successful in even getting an initial generator override to run. This is the code I am trying to run in ("Challenge" is a type in my xText grammar/model):

@SuppressWarnings("all")
public class MyDslGenerator extends AbstractGenerator {
@Override
public void doGenerate(final Resource resource, final IFileSystemAccess2 fsa, final IGeneratorContext context) {
for (e : resource.allContents.toIterable.filter(Challenge)) {
}
}
}

In particular, it looks like I do not have the "allContents" operation for the resource type (I have a getAllContents method but then the code is completely different from the tutorial). I tried by looking at complete examples and it seems I am not missing any imports but it really feels like I am missing something in my environment to run this. Any help/hint would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Antonio

This seems to be xtend syntax in java code

Where are you actually editing ?

the java code would be something like

Iterables.filter(IteratorExtensions.toIterable(resource.getAllContents()), Greeting.class)

Hi Christian,
I am editing the MyDSLGenerator.java inside the .generator package in (xtend-gen). When you write "this seems to be xtend syntax in java code" do you mean that I need to create a different file for this or it is enough to use the ''' <xtend_code>'''?

Thanks again for your quick help!

Hi again,
I finally understood where I was making my beginners' mistake. I was editing the .java file in the .generator package (xtend-gen folder), but indeed that file is supposed to be automatically generated from the xtend code you write for the generator. Such a code is found in the src folder and again .generator package. Due to this overload of names I got confused.

Thanks again for the help and I hope this thread can avoid waste of time for others.
