Code template insertion error [message #1712918] Thu, 29 October 2015 06:51 Go to next message

Hi guys,

I inherited work from my colleague who worked with Xtext, and I am facing with a annoying problem. I define a code template in Preference page, and when I want to add it in the editor with ctrl+space, template is added, but it deletes previous token (or symbol).

So, I've line of code:
LOAD A0, A1

when I try to add third parameter after typing comma and choosing template, I get this
LOAD A0, A1dummy() instead LOAD A0, A1, dummy()

I've been debugging for couple of days, and I'm guessing the problem is in the replace region offset of the template context, but I can't find the fix. Can someone point me where to look?

Note: This problem only occurs when I choose code templates from content assist, not with other options in content assist popup menu.

Thanks,
Beli

can you share grammar and a test? could be similar to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=466372

Christian, thanks for your quick reply.

Unfortunately, grammar is too big (over 1k lines of code) and it is a part of a big project. I'm aware you can't help me much without it, but do you have any other hints or ideas?

I am Xtext beginner and my main focus was on TemplateProposal's apply method and understanding start and end indexes and replace offset . Could a problem lie in grammar?

Thanks,
Beli

can you try to create a very simple grammar that reproduces the problem?

I'll give it a try, but it will take me some time.
