Hello,
I am getting very strange behaviour of my Xtext generated application. I have defined my grammar, e.g.:

MyModel:
entities += Entity*;

Entity:
EntityA|EntityB|EntityC;

EntityA,..,EntityC are defined.

Objects of EntityA refer to objects of EntityB and EntityC.
Everything works perfect, while I have all objects of EntityA, EntityB, EntityC defined in single file. However, if I put the EntityA objects into file1.ext, EntityB objects into file2.ext and EntityC objects into file3.ext (all these files are in src folder of MyModel project), there are references errors. The errors disappear after re-save of these files. The strange is: there is still "shaddow" (gray color) error in front of refferencing lines and I can't get rid of it.

Note: Scoping of files works perfect, as the code completion allways gives me reasonable possibilities.

What could cause this problem? How could I solve it?

Thank you & Best regards,
Michal

Hi.

If the error icon is red it means that the error is present in the editor and in the file.
As you change the code within the eclipse editor the error only is removed in the editor-document but it is still present within the file. Thats because it's not saved and written to the file yet. To indicate the error still exists within the file a gray error icon is shown.

The gray errors should disappear after you save the file which seems not to work at your project. Are there any exceptions printed to your debugging-eclipse? Probably eclipse can't save the editor contents back to the file which would explain why the gray error icon persist.

Cheers Daniel

Hi Daniel,
I didn't get debug output, but meanwhile I tried to remove some of my code and it solved the problem. Unfortunatelly, the code, which I have to remove is needed:

in file MyParserToXML.java saved in my.package.name/src/my.package.name/

package de.bmw.testcase;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.HashMap;

import org.eclipse.emf.common.util.URI;
import org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject;
import org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.Resource;
import org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.ResourceSet;
import org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi.XMIResource;
import org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi.impl.XMIResourceFactoryImpl;
import org.eclipse.xtext.generator.IFileSystemAccess;
import org.eclipse.xtext.generator.IGenerator;

public class MyParserToXML implements IGenerator{


	public void doGenerate(Resource input, IFileSystemAccess fsa) {
		 new TestCaseStandaloneSetup().createInjectorAndDoEMFRegistration();
	     Resource resource = input;
	     ResourceSet rs = resource.getResourceSet();
	     System.out.println(rs.getResources().size());
	     EObject eobject = resource.getContents().get(0);
	     XMIResourceFactoryImpl resFactory = new XMIResourceFactoryImpl();
	     
	     String [] splitted_path = ((String) resource.getURI().toPlatformString(true)).split("/");
	     String newpath = "";
	     for (int i = 1; i<splitted_path.length;i++){
	    	 if(i!=2){
	    		 newpath += "/";
	    		 newpath += splitted_path[i];
	    	 } else {
	    		 newpath += "/src-gen";
	    	 }
	     }
	     newpath = newpath.replace(".tcf", ".xmi");
	     URI xmiuri = URI.createFileURI(newpath);
	     System.out.println(xmiuri.toString());
	     
	     
	     XMIResource xmiresource = (XMIResource) resFactory.createResource(xmiuri);
	     try {
			xmiresource.delete(new HashMap());
		} catch (IOException e1) {
			System.out.println("DELETE NOT SUCCESSFULL");
			e1.printStackTrace();
		}
	     xmiresource.getContents().add(eobject);
	     
	     
	     
	     try {
	         xmiresource.save(new HashMap());
	     } catch (IOException e) {
	         System.out.println("SAVE NOT MADE");
	         e.printStackTrace();
	     }
	}
}

And binding to this code saved in MyProjectNameRuntimeModule.java

	@Override
	public Class<? extends IGenerator> bindIGenerator() {
		return MyParserToXML.class;
	}

What is wrong with my code?
Thank you in advance.

Michal

Hi

xmiresource.getContents().add(eobject);
i don't know if it is a good idea to steal the xtext resources contents
=> make a copy (EcoreUtil) of eobject
and add the copy to the resource

Hi Christian,
I changed the code this way:

  Copier copier = new Copier();
  EObject result = copier.copy(resource.getContents().get(0));
  copier.copyReferences();
  ........
  xmiresource.getContents().add(result);

But still having same problem Sad

. Any idea?
Thank you,
Michal

Hi,

calling new TestCaseStandaloneSetup().createInjectorAndDoEMFRegistration();
from an eclipse runtime is a deadly idea.

since i do not know your Copier class, have no other hints
but i will try this today evening

Hi Christian,

thank you for your answer.
I took Copier class from org.eclipse.emf.ecore.util.EcoreUtil. I don't need to use Copier class -> If you have any other suggestion, I appreciate it, as Java is not my "cup of coffee" and I use it only when I have no other choice...

Hi Christian,
I need to create XML from my model, as the data are neccesary in external application, where they will be used (with other data) to create the output.
There would be possible to process plain text of my model, but in this case I would have to parse it as text, what is more difficult.
I like the Save As function of "Sample Reflective Ecore Model Editor" in Eclipse, but I need it done automatically (that's why I am implementing generator) or just with the Build button in Eclipse. Any of these two possibilities will solve my issue.

Best regards,
Michal

Hi Christian,
I have the XMI stuff from link you sent me yesterday. But I can't see answer, which I need. I need my mode in any XML-like format, as it is very comfortable to parse with built-ins of many languages...

Hi,

when leaving off the standalonesetup it works for me.
but if you have several model files you still have the problem
with the crossrefs in the xmi files (they ll still point to the xtext files)

So together with http://kthoms.wordpress.com/2011/07/12/xtend-generating-from-multiple-input-models/

package org.xtext.example.mydsl;
import java.io.IOException;

public class MyParserToXML implements IGenerator2 {
	
	@Inject Provider<ResourceSet> rsp;


	public void doGenerate(ResourceSet rs, IFileSystemAccess fsa) {

	    for (Resource resource : rs2.getResources()) {
	    	String [] splitted_path = ((String) resource.getURI().toPlatformString(true)).split("/");
		     String newpath = "";

		    	 }
		     }
		     newpath = newpath.replace(".tcf", ".xmi");
		     URI xmiuri = URI.createFileURI(newpath);

		     try {
				xmiresource.delete(new HashMap());
			} catch (IOException e1) {
				System.out.println("DELETE NOT SUCCESSFULL");
				e1.printStackTrace();
			}
		     xmiresource.getContents().addAll(resource.getContents());
		     toSave.add(xmiresource);
	    }

	     }
	     
	    
	     
	     
	     
	     
	}


	@Override
	public void doGenerate(Resource input, IFileSystemAccess fsa) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		
	}
}

Works perfect for me

Hi Christian,
I followed the instruction from you and from the blog mentioned above. Shaddow errors are not there any more, but I am not getting XML output: just this error whenever I save any of my model files:

I have only 3 model files and it copies 52 resources. It falls always on resource with following URI:

java:/Objects/org.eclipse.xtext.generator.serializer.GeneratedFile

I used the code from clone() function definition to debug this. The error is strange to me, as the error happens on the line:

for (Resource resource : resources) {

and if I put first command into this cycle some simple System.out.println(...), I never get to state, that is written.

Thank you for any help...

Hi,

strange, maybe you should not use a builder for this stuff at all,
it makes no sence. maybe a simple stupid action does the same
better cleaner and easier.

I found following solution: If I use this:

EList<Resource> resources = rs.getResources();
EcoreUtil.Copier copier = new EcoreUtil.Copier();


for (int i = 0; i<resources.size();i++ ){
	try{
		Resource resource = resources.get(i);
		if (resource.getURI().isPlatform()){
			Resource resource2 = rs2.createResource(resource.getURI());
			resource2.getContents().addAll(copier.copyAll(resource.getContents()));
		}
	} catch (ConcurrentModificationException e){
		
	}
}

copier.copyReferences();

instead of EcoreUtil2.clone function, it seems to me working!

Thank you Christian for your help!

Hi Michal,

don't do this in an OSGi environment:

new TestCaseStandaloneSetup().createInjectorAndDoEMFRegistration();

It is not necessary. All the registration / injector config should
happen in the plugin.xml / activator / by means of @Inject in the
generator itself.

Sebastian
