Access to the fields of a package (Tree structure) [message #1809878]

Hello xTexters,

I have a question concerning this code :

grammar org.xtext.metalist.Metalist with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals

generate metalist "http://www.xtext.org/metalist/Metalist"
import "http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore" as ecore


METALIST:
packages+=Package+;

Package:
	'_¡' name=packageName 
	nb=nbField '®'
	(fields+=Fields)+
	'®';
Fields:
	{Fields} numField  '¡' name=field? '¡' 
	'×'?
;

. . .

(packageName and field are simple IDs)

This is the structure of the declaration of a package and its fields. (definition dedicated DSL)

Now i'd like to have the fields parsed and content assisted according to the package they are contained in.

I'd need to use something of the form "package.field" in many statement so i created this rule in my main DSL

PackageFieldExpression:
	pack=[ML::Package|MAJID] ('.' field=[ML::Fields|MAJID])?
;

¨

I can already access to my package easily but i can' access the fields corresponding to the package, having couple of errors.

Do you know how i could achieve this ? I tried may solutions including this one : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21306822/xtext-dsl-reference-to-attribute that seemed similar to my situation but it didn't solve it.

Thank u

How does your scope provider look like
Is AbstractDeclarativeScopeProvider the parent class

For the moment, my ScopeProvider looks lite this :

/*

package org.xtext.itl.scoping

import org.xtext.itl.iTL.PackageFieldExpression
import org.eclipse.xtext.scoping.IScope
import org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EReference

import org.eclipse.xtext.scoping.Scopes

class ITLScopeProvider extends AbstractITLScopeProvider {
	
    def IScope scope_PackageFieldExpression_field(PackageFieldExpression dat, EReference ref) {
        return Scopes.scopeFor(dat.pack.fields)
    }
 
}

Is it ok to replace my parent class AbstractITLScopeProvider with AbstractDeclarativeScopeProvider ?

I works great with what you suggested thank you i missread! Modyfing this extend class won't cause any problem?

no it wont.
but you are encoraged to implement the existing scope provider class by overriding getScope and if else on context and ereference parameters

Allright, got it, thank you.

I have another related question. Is it the same way to operate for this kind of rule ?

AddOccStatement: {AddOccStatement} ('ADDOCC') addocPack=[ML::Package] (('PARENT') parentPack=[ML::Package])? (('WITH') fieldAssignList=FieldAssignList)?;

FieldAssign  : fieldToAssign=[ML::Fields] compareOperator compare=data ;
FieldAssignSingle: => list+=FieldAssign (',' list+=FieldAssign)* ;


FieldAssignList: (list+=FieldAssignSingle)+;

I came up to this so far :

 def IScope scope_AddOccStatement_fieldToAssign(AddOccStatement dat, EReference ref) {
        return Scopes.scopeFor(dat.addocPack.fields)
    }

But it doesn' seem to work out since the fields are
in an inner rule of an inner rule

yes and no. there are two problems. scoping vs content assist.

for scoping scope_FieldAssign_fieldToAssign(FieldAssign ctx, EReference r) // this is cause objects are created lazy (after the assignment
but the scope provider will ask for

scope_FieldAssign_fieldToAssign(AddOccStatement ctx, EReference r) too (it will walk up the parents until it finds something
