EMenuService is null [message #1292206]

Fri, 11 April 2014 12:12

Hi,
I have following handler implemented:

@Execute
	public void execute(
			IEclipseContext eclipseContext,
			EMenuService service,
			@Named(value = ContextVariables.CANVAS_OBJECTS_MANAGER) ICanvasManager canvasManager) {
...
}

Following error is thrown:
MenuService: TrimmedWindowImpl (cz.martinbayer.e4.analyser.trimmedwindow.0) Context: org.eclipse.e4.core.di.InjectionException: Unable to process "MenuService.myPart": no actual value was found for the argument "MPart".

service parameter is null even when this handler is registered in application model but regarding previous error message it is obvious there is no EMenuService registered for context of the part.
Am I missing something? I tried to register the handler to the:
*Application->Handlers
*Application->Windows->Trimmed window->Handlers

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you very much,
M.

Normally one would use the EMenuService in a part context (it internally tries to inject a part). What's your scenario for needing it from the window level? Can't you inject directly from the part you're trying to use it?

Hi,
I use it during deserialization of my objects placed on the canvas which is contained on the one of my parts. I have an EMenuService instance set as transient so I'd like to reinitialize the service during deserialization.
Now I'm using workaround and I manually inject the menu service to the created object during insertion objects to canvas.

So the whole process is:
1) press the Open menu item in menu
2) OpenHandler is used to handle the operation
3) method wich annotation @Execute contains deserialization of the objects
4) during deserialization, it would be nice to be able to initialize menu service for the object

But why there is no EMenuService contained in the context? I thought it searches for variables in the context hierarchically, so it should be found at least in the main context for the application. Do I understand it well?
Thanks for your responses,

Martin

You do understand it well. However, look at the error message. It is not saying "I can't find an EMS", it's saying I can't find an MPart to initialize the EMS. Internally the EMS implementation has an @Inject MPart part; which fails in this context and its hierarchy.

Can you sysout the eclipseContext that you get as a parameter?

Hi, so the sysout of the context property is:

TrimmedWindowImpl (cz.martinbayer.e4.analyser.trimmedwindow.0) Context

Also the content of the context's Map is attached.
I need to complete my diploma thesis now but after that it will be a pleasure to try to help with debugging this behavior.

this question is FAQ meanwhile, you will find at least 5 questions (all unanswered) to this topic in the threads below.
I spent some time searching for an answer, because in all PartDescriptors, the EMenuservice is NULL too, which is quite anoying.
The EMenuservice is not a e4 core service, it is a declarative service provided by the SWT renderer. For these services, the hierarchically lookup seems to be buggy, the DI-Container just searches the actual context and injects NULL without proceeding to higher contextes.
A solution may be to manually retrieve the service context and access the EMenuservice directly, without 'DI-Magic'.
I hope, some day, a committer will answer to this topic.....

You really have no idea what you're talking about, do you? The EMenuService is provided by a context function called MenuServiceCreationFunction. Whatever .....

@Martin, can't you put the EMS injection at the @Postconstruct of the part which has this canvas? You can see from the debug statement that the context in question is the workbench and there's no part in it, or above it. Is there an active part around when this handler is called?

Well, it was a suggestion as i saw the service declaration in SWT-Renderer. Unfortunately, my company pays my me for application development, not for code reviewing Sad

Do you know, where the implemantation of that 'context function' is ? Maybe, that could bring some light into it ....

Hi, sorry for late response but I was quite busy.
Sepot, you're absolutely right with active part thought and I'm really stupid on the other hand:). The problem doesn't occur when part is focused before the handler is invoked.
