Strange behavior with XtextSerializationException [message #732293]

Hey guys,

I've got a question related to the XtextSerializationException. If I serialize my model and it serialization does not work, it throws:

org.eclipse.xtext.parsetree.reconstr.XtextSerializationException: Serialization failed

This occurs when I call:

try {
 resource.save(Collections.EMPTY_MAP);
} catch (IOException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
}

Sadly the results are, that my file is overwritten, which I don't want to happen. Is it possible to tell Xtext to break on a serialization failure?

Thanks for your help Smile

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

please file a ticket.
Workaround: Serialize to a Byte array and pump that into the file if the
serialization succeeded.

Regards,
Sebastian
