[Xtext 2.1] Problems extending Xbase [message #755505]

Hi,

Trying to migrate my DSLs from 2.0.1 to 2.1.0, I came across new
validation error, which do not make any sense to me.

Here is an example DSL, which only overrides one Xbase rule with the
exact same content as in Xbase.xtext:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
grammar org.xtext.example.mydsl.MyDsl with org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.Xbase

import "http://www.eclipse.org/xtext/xbase/Xbase"
import "http://www.eclipse.org/xtext/common/JavaVMTypes" as types
import "http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore" as ecore

generate myDsl "http://www.xtext.org/example/mydsl/MyDsl"

Model:
{Model};

XCastedExpression returns XExpression:
XMemberFeatureCall (=>({XCastedExpression.target=current} 'as')
type=JvmTypeReference)*;
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This results in the validation error:
Cannot find compatible feature type in sealed EClass XCastedExpression
from imported package http://www.eclipse.org/xtext/xbase/Xbase:
The existing reference 'type' has an incompatible type 'null'.
The expected type is 'JvmTypeReference'.

Do I do anything wrong or is this a recently introduced bug?

I'd appreciate any hints!

Cheers,
Kai

Thanks for the link, I have put myself on cc on this bug.
Have you figured out any workaround? Waiting for 2.1.1 does not sound
like an option to me :-S

Hi,

Unfortunately I don't have not found a workaround.
This is indeed a very nasty bug.
When is the release date for 2.1.1?

Isnt this a UI Only Problem. At least the Workflow runs through. ~Christian

Yes indeed it's a UI only problem. However it's not nice to see a lot of unnecessary errors in the editor when working on a big grammar. Wink

Right, my problems with the workflow (which worked on 2.0.1) seem to be
unrelated to the issue described here.
So the workaround is to "simply ignore" - that will do, thanks.

Hi Kai,

we'll release 2.1.1 at the end of this week. You may want to try the
latest nightly build and use the new quickfixes on the validation marker
that you'll get on the package import declaration.

Sebastian

Sebastian,

I tried the nightly build however I still got the same problem.
Could it be that I didn't do the update correctly?

From a fresh eclipse-SDK-3.7.1-Xtext-2.1.0-linux-gtk-x86_64 distribution I did:
- Install New Software
- Add
- Choose the downloaded nightly build archive tmf-xtext-Update-N201111081203.zip
- select the "TMF Xtext" and on Next it says that an update will be done
- Next, Finish, etc

Still the problem with the same grammar.

Thanks in advance

I guess this simply didn't yet have the fix - Sebastian's commit was
only done yesterday (i.e. on the 9th, while your nb was from the 8th):
http://git.eclipse.org/c/tmf/org.eclipse.xtext.git/commit/?id=0416ee275fa7b8786e2624b4b489b7eca7a8d646

Thanks Sebastian,

I updated and indeed the problem went away for the XVariableDeclaration rule.

However I still get the same error for the name feature when using the following rule in an extension of Xbase:

FullJvmFormalParameter returns jvmTypes::JvmFormalParameter:
	{FullJvmFormalParameter} final ?= 'final'? parameterType=JvmTypeReference name=ValidID;
