Cross reference items not available in .chk files [message #46237]

Hi,

I'm trying to write checks (.chk file) for a model that contains cross
references to an another grammar/model. It looks like the cross references
are not available in the .chk file. No code completion for them and marked
as "unknown properties". For Example:

import myDslB;

context Attribute ERROR "Error" : type; // more to come here

Where "type" is a cross reference to another grammar and marked as an
error in the .chk editor. I also recognized a problem with the generated
ecore file. When opening it with the ecore editor and navigating to a
cross reference item, it gives

Problems encounterd in file "classpath:/org/xtext/example/MyDslA.ecore"
java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: classpath

Any ideas?

Christoph

P.S.: The grammars are:

grammar org.xtext.example.MyDslA with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals

generate myDslA "http://www.xtext.org/example/MyDslA"

Model :
(imports+=Import)*
(datatypes+=DataType)*;

Import :
'import' importURI=STRING;

DataType:
'datatype' name=ID ';'?;

----

grammar org.xtext.example.MyDslB with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals

import "classpath:/org/xtext/example/MyDslA.ecore" as MyDslA

generate myDslB "http://www.xtext.org/example/MyDslB"

Model :
(imports+=Import)*
(classes+=Class);

Import :
'import' importURI=STRING;

Class :
'class' name=ID '{'
properties+=Property*
'}';

Property:
Attribute | Reference;

Attribute:
'attr' name=ID ':' type=[MyDslA::DataType] ';'?;

Reference:
'ref' name=ID ':' type=[Class] ';'?;

Referencing ecore files using the classpath scheme is not good, since
resource sets need to be configured with a special URIConverter in order
to be able resolve classpath URIs.

EMF and so Xpand both do not support classpath URIs.

You should instead use a platform:/resource URI.

Cheers,
Sven

Hi,

thanks Sven. I just used the "classpath:/" scheme as the documentation
says this it is the preferred way. I think it would be good when the
documentation lists the several schemes with their pro and cons.

Yes, we just recently (because of the bug you submitted) realized that
the classpath scheme has its problems.
We'll update the documentation ASAP.

Thanks,
Sven
