xtext check annotation issue [message #1000278]

Hi,

I'm using the @Check annotation in order to validate my dsl. my dsl is for json.

at first the method was invoked for a specific object and once per change
but it suddenly doesn't work in the same way anymore (and i'm not sure what i've done that effected it)
the method signature is:

@Check
public void validateJson(ObjectValue object) {...}

now its entering this method for each node in the gui although i'm editing only one node

Hi,

what Xtext (partially) Parses/Constructs while Editing depends on the Grammar. Did you change the Grammar?

cause when i'm changing one object it runs the validation on all of them, but they other were already validated.
it's a waste of time for something that already calculated and some of my files that need to be check are very big and each change takes too much time

You may try a @Check(CheckType.NORMAL)
