XText cross referencing scoping [message #898816]

I have some problems with xtext cross referencing.
Here is a very simple grammer:

Model: block=Block? cs+=Company* ;
Block: '{' g=[Employee] '}';
Company: 'Company' name=ID
'{' es+= Employee* '}';
Employee: 'Employee' name=ID ';' ;

and it is my dsl :

{ Pooyan }
Company Sony{
Employee Pooyan;
Employee John;
}

It is always shown that "Couldn't resolve reference to Employee 'Pooyan'." Could anyone please help me? I have no idea...

Hi,

by default the name of an object is composed by the name of its parent combined with its simple name. That is, the fully qualified name of Pooyan will be
Sony.Pooyan
This is why Pooyan alone cannot be resolved. You will also get no code completion for the employee reference in Block, as you want to reference by an ID (not a qualified name) and there are no employees visible via their simple name only.

Note that you can "browse" the objects referable in Xtext models via the Open-Model-Element-Dialog (Shift-Ctrl-F3). There you will see all objects with their type and their name.

Hi Alex.

Thank you for your quick and kind answer.
I use Sony.Pooyan but it makes no difference. I've spend 1 complete day to solve this problem but I couldn't solve it! I don't know why. I also check the types in OMED but Employee is just Employee...

my complete grammar is :

grammar org.xtext.example.mydsl1.Test with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals
generate test "link"

Model: cs+=Company* block=Block;
Block: '{' g=[Employee] '}';
Company: 'Company' name=ID
'{' es+= Employee* '}';
Employee: 'Employee' name=ID ';' ;

and my testing model is : ( i want this one to be correct but it is not )
Company Sony{
Employee Pooyan;
Employee John;
}
{
Sony.Pooyan
}

I've attached the picture of employee type in OMED

I was wondering if you could please tell me how to solve it.

[Sorry if it is a silly problem...]

Hi,

you screenshot does not show the "Open Model Element Dialog" Crtl+Shift+F3

you have basically two options

(1) publish employees under a simple name (by custom IQualifiedNameProvider)
(2) change the grammar to allow qualified names

Block: '{' g=[Employee|FQN] '}'; FQN: ID ("." ID)*;
