Trouble emitting template code after splitting Generator Xtend into two pieces [message #1219896] Fri, 06 December 2013 14:44 Go to next message

My code generator emits 3 different files. So of course I need 3 code generation methods. The generator Xtend was getting a little large so as usual I wanted to break it into smaller pieces. I succeeded in taking out one of the classes to a separate file, and when I use the debugger, it is actually executing those lines, but nothing is coming out except the comment which I emit in the primary generator class.

Here's the main generator class section where the three different generators get called. toTestCode() creates a new class of the separated code and calls the specific methods.

	override void doGenerate(Resource resource, IFileSystemAccess fsa) {
		var pkage = "\\com\\holycityaudio\\SpinCAD\\CADBlocks\\"
		fsa.generateFile(pkage + resource.className+"CADBlock.java", toCADBlockCode(resource.contents.head as Program))
		pkage = "\\com\\holycityaudio\\SpinCAD\\ControlPanel\\"
		fsa.generateFile(pkage + resource.className+"ControlPanel.java", toControlPanelCode(resource.contents.head as Program))
		pkage = "\\com\\holycityaudio\\SpinCAD\\test\\"
		fsa.generateFile(pkage + resource.className+"Test.java", toTestCode(resource.contents.head as Program))
	}
	
	def className(Resource res) {
		var name = res.URI.lastSegment
		// println(name)
		return name.substring(0, name.indexOf('.'))
	}
	
	def toTestCode(Program pr) { 
		val blockName = pr.eResource.className
		var boop = new SpinCADTestGenerator
		boop.genTestHeader(blockName)
		boop.testNoConnections(blockName)
		boop.testAllConnections(blockName, pr)
		boop.genTestCloser()
	'''
	// do something
	'''
	}


and here's an example of two of the called methods:

class SpinCADTestGenerator {
 
def genTestHeader(String blockName) { 
	'''
package com.holycityaudio.SpinCAD.test;

import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;

import com.holycityaudio.SpinCAD.SpinCADFrame;
import com.holycityaudio.SpinCAD.SpinCADPanel;
import com.holycityaudio.SpinCAD.SpinCADPin;
import com.holycityaudio.SpinCAD.CADBlocks.*;
import com.holycityaudio.SpinCAD.ControlBlocks.*;

public class «blockName+"Test"» {
	public «blockName+"Test"»(SpinCADFrame f) {
		System.out.println("Start of «blockName»CADBlock unit test..." + "\n");

		SpinCADPanel p = new SpinCADPanel(f);
		InputCADBlock i = new InputCADBlock(225, 10);
		OutputCADBlock o = new OutputCADBlock(225, 290);
'''
}

def genTestCloser() {
	'''
	// end of test code
	}
	'''
}


The only thing that is getting generated is the line:

	// do something


No errors or warnings, and like I said, the debugger does trace through the SpinCADTestGenerator methods. Just nothing is coming out. The generator code that is still in the first file works fine.

?????

Thanks!!!!

In what seems to be a recurring pattern, I have solved the problem immediately after posting this notice. The answer is:

	def toTestCode(Program pr) { 
		val blockName = pr.eResource.className
		var boop = new SpinCADTestGenerator
	'''
		«boop.genTestHeader(blockName)»
		«boop.testNoConnections(blockName)»
		«boop.testAllConnections(blockName, pr)»
		«boop.genTestCloser()»

	// do something
	'''
	}

If you call a method and throw its result to /dev/null/ ...

Maybe what you actually want to do is
'''
//somecomment
<<someMethod>>
<<someOtherMethods>>
''''
