Cross Referencing an already crossreferenced element in xtext doesn't work [message #1745786]

Hi,

I have a simple grammar as shown below

ContainsPackage:
'Contains package' pkgRef=[CDPackage|FQN];

CDPackage:
'for' 'package' name=[ProjectCompPackage|FQN]

ProjectCompPackage:
'package' name=FQN '{'

'}';

I have 'Contains package' which has reference to CDPackage which inturn has reference to ProjectCompPackage.

When i try to create a DSL(instance) with this grammar,i cannot see anything in content assist for ContainsPackage though i have many CDPackages and Project ComponentPackages in my editor

Can i know if i am doing anything wrong.

In short does cross referenicng an already crossreferenced element work??If so can some one provide a small example which i can test.

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Anudeep

you have to adapt the iqualifiednameprovider and use the node model to give the element its cross referernce as name

Hello Christian,

Thanks for the quick response.

Can you provide a small example so that it would be more clear to me

sorry i dont have the time for that pseudo code

class MyQNP extends DefaultQualifiednameprovider {

@Inject iqualifiednameconverter qnc
def qualifiedName(CDPackage p) {
return qnc.toqualfiedname(NodeModelUtils.findnodeforfeature(p, Mydslpaclage.literals.CDPackage__name).head.text)
}
}

Thanks christian

It is working fine for ID but not for FQN.
For the above example,i see the references appearing in Content Assist but the references are not resolved.

Incase of ID's i see everything working fine.Is there any reason for this??

Hi Christian,

For elements with FQN i did a trim for the text and it works perfectly fine

I don't know why but the text starts with a space and hence couldn't be resolved earlier.

I have written something like this
NodeModelUtils.findNodesForFeature(cdPackage, CdeplPackage.Literals.CD_PACKAGE__NAME).head.text.trim)

Thank you once again for the quick responses

Regards,
Anudeep.

The node model contains all leaf nodes for all tokens that were encountered when the respective element was parsed. That includes the hidden tokens for whitespace and comments.

So you should remove all hidden tokens from the list of nodes, e.g. (Xtend)

findNodesForFeautre(...)
.map[leafNodes]
.flatten
.filter[!hidden]
.map[text]
.join('.')

before passing the concatenated texts to the qualified name converter.
