Problems with keywords and JvmType [message #1015152]

Wed, 27 February 2013 10:29

I have a workflow DSL and I wanted to add validation to it. Here is an example of the code:

workflow FOO {
    validation alwaysValid : com.pany.project.workflow.AlwaysValidComparator;
}

For this input, I get the error:

ERROR:mismatched input 'workflow' expecting RULE_ID (test.wf line : 3)

This is because of the package "workflow" which Xtext/ANTLR think is the keyword "workflow".

So I tried to escape the symbol:

workflow FOO {
    validation alwaysValid : com.pany.project.^workflow.AlwaysValidComparator;
}

which gives me:

ERROR:Couldn't resolve reference to JvmType 'com.pany.project.^workflow.AlwaysValidValidator'. (test.wf line : 3)

Suggestions?

if i use ref=JvmParameterizedTypeReference escaping works fine for me.

Hi Aaron,

you have to register a value converter for your FQN rule or add
'workflow' as a contextual keyword for IDs, if that does not cause any
other trouble.

I hear you but I don't understand the details.

Is the "FQN converter" somehow related to IQualifiedNameProvider? If so, would it be enough to just strip the `^` characters for this type of EObject?

As for "contextual keyword for IDs", i couldn't Google anything. I understand the concept of contextual keywords in parsers but how do I implement this in Xtext. Do you have an example?

hi,

if i use ref=JvmParameterizedTypeReference escaping works fine for me.

:-/ Doesn't work for me. I'm using the code in the grammar:

    "validator" name=ID ":" clsName=[ jvmTypes::JvmParameterizedTypeReference | QualifiedName ] ";";

QualifiedName:
	ID ("." ID)*;

Which version of Xtext?

I tested it with 231 (using xbase as super grammar)

I'm using 2.3.0 and this header:

grammar com.pany.workflow.dsl.WfDsl
	with org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.Xtype
	hidden(WS, SL_COMMENT) 

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

Maybe it's a bug that was fixed in 2.3.1 :-/

Still the question why don't you use the stuff from the super grammar
(at least the qualified name rule)

Hi Aaron,

the docs describe the aspect value conversion and scoping.

http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/documentation.html#valueconverter
http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/documentation.html#scoping

Value converters are responsible for transforming a parsed text snippet
into a usable information in your model, e.g. modelInstance.getName()
should not include the ^ character thus a value converter has to strip
that off. The IQualifiedNameProvider yields the name that is used to
globally identify an instance, e.g. it may concatenate the name of
containers with the name of the model instance itself: the qualified
name of a Java class is the name of the package concatenated with the
name of all outer classes and finally the simple name of the class itself.

This post may help on the keyword/id issue:

I hope this helps,
Sebastian
