Hello community,

if i save a editor in a custom feature i will get a ui deadlock. A ProgressMonitor is still running and never end. The feature is execute by a ContextButtonEntry. The Deadlock occurs in the in org.eclipse.emf.transaction.util.Lock.class row 357.

Is it my fault or a bug?

public class MyCustomFeature extends AbstractCustomFeature
    {

    public MyCustomFeature(IFeatureProvider fp)
        {
        super(fp);
        }

    @Override
    public void execute(ICustomContext context)
        {
        //My Editor (GrapthitEditor) Deadlock in org.eclipse.emf.transaction.util.Lock.class 357
        PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().getActiveEditor().doSave(new NullProgressMonitor());
        
        }

    }



EDIT:
The UI Deadlock occurs in OrderedLock row 175
		try {
			success = semaphore.acquire(delay);
		} catch (InterruptedException e) {
			if (DEBUG)
				System.out.println("[" + currentThread + "] Operation interrupted while waiting... :-|"); //$NON-NLS-1$ //$NON-NLS-2$
			//remember the interrupt to throw it later
			currentThread.interrupt();
		}


Thanks

As far as I know EMF transaction should block that. You have started a
change on a resource (you're in the middle of a transaction inside the
feature) and want to save that resource, which would require the resource to
be consistent...

While I thing enforcing save from inside an operation is a litel strange,
the only way I see is to trigger that is to do that asynchronously.

Yes i can explain the problem, what i need is a subtransaction.

We have a Feature which can only execute if the editor is not dirty.
If the editor is dirty, the user get a save dialog (yes/no/cancel dialog) and should save the editor.

Do you have a idea, how could i handle this in a feature? Asynchron doesn't work, because we have to wait until the editor is saved.


EDIT: But the Add and Create Feature do the same. You can call in AbstractCreateFeature the addGraphicalRepresentation method. The addGraphicalRepresentation create a new Command (AbstractAddShapeFeature) and execute
it. So it's a command (create) in a command (add)

Example AbstractCreateFeature.
    @Override
    public Object[] create(ICreateContext context)
        {
//create stuff
       ....

        // do the add and execute a new add command
        addGraphicalRepresentation(context, eObject);

        return ...

I see. Inside your feature you could check if the editor is saved, if yes
simply execute the operataion. If no, asynchronously trigger the saving of
the editor and end the feature. In the runnable where you save the editor,
you can simply retrigger your feature again (probably again asynchronously)
via DiagramEditor.executeFeature().

I haven't tried that but it should work.

Thanks works =)
