[Xpand] Referenced model unaccessible [message #510346]

Hello,

I try to prettyprint a model that refers to another model.

In my metamodel there is a class named AtomicProposition that has a reference to another metamodel of type Variable that has an attribute name.

The rules for prettyprinting these modelelements are as follows:

«DEFINE generatePathFormula FOR AtomicProposition»«EXPAND generateVariable FOR this.Variable»«ENDDEFINE»

«DEFINE generateVariable FOR Variable»«this.name»«ENDDEFINE»

Both metamodels are imported in the template.

When I execute my template using a workflow, nothing is generated for the variable.
However, when I replace in the generateVariable definition:

«this.name»

«this.toString()»

I get the following output for the variable:

slco.impl.VariableImpl@a084f8 (eProxyURI: LegoCase-plain.slco#//@classes.3/@stateMachines.1/@variables.0)

It appears to me that the variable can be found, but the name cannot be printed.

Does anybody have an idea what my problem could be?

You have an unresolved proxy.
Somehow the URI
'LegoCase-plain.slco#//@classes.3/@stateMachines.1/@variable s.0' cannot
be resolved. Is LegoCase-plain-slco laying next to the resource at hand?

Hello Sven,

Yes, both models are in the same folder.

Could it maybe have to do with the workflow I am using, it is as follows:

<workflow>
  <property name="model" value="My.temporallogic"/>
  <property name="targetdir" value="src-gen"/>

  <component class="org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.Reader">
    <uri value="src/${model}"/>
    <modelSlot value="LTLFormula"/>
  </component>

  <component class='org.eclipse.xpand2.Generator'>
    <metaModel id="temporallogic" class="org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.emf.EmfMetaModel">
      <metaModelPackage value="temporallogic.TemporallogicPackage"/>
    </metaModel>
    <metaModel id="slco" class="org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.emf.EmfMetaModel">
      <metaModelPackage value="slco.SlcoPackage"/>
    </metaModel>
    <expand value='template::TemporalLogicPrettyPrinter::prettyPrint FOR LTLFormula'/>
    <genPath value='${targetdir}'/>
  </component>
</workflow>

Regards,

Marcel

It is maybe enough to prefix the URI with the right scheme.
Please try 'file:/./src/${model}'.

Hello Sven,

Thank you for your answer. Inserting the absolute path solved my problem.

However, I am not the only one using this transformation and you can imagine that tehe other users may have a different directory lay-out on their hard drives. This means that they would have to change the workflow in to use this transformation.

Are there other ways to solve my problem?

Regards,
Marcel
