Hi,
I am using the domain model example (which is delivered with TMF Xtext):
Model :
(elements+=AbstractElement)*;
AbstractElement : PackageDeclaration | Type | Import;
Type :
Entity | DataType;
DataType :
'datatype' name=ID;
Entity :
'entity' name=ID ('extends' superType=[Entity|QualifiedName])? '{'
(features+=Feature)*
'}';
Feature :
StructuralFeature | Operation;
StructuralFeature :
Attribute | Reference;
Attribute :
'attr' name=ID ':' type=TypeRef;
I am trying to define some references to entity attributes in another
Xtext grammar:
DataColumn:
'datacolumn' header=STRING dataColumn=[entityDsl::Attribute];
The generated editor doesn't show proposals for entity attributes
(dataColumn). It should list all attributes of existing entities.
Any ideas?
Thanks
ILyas

Hi Ilyas,
there is no utility function that directly does what you describe.
However, please search this newsgroup for ImportUri and ImportUriUtil
and you'll find some pointers that will help to achieve what you describe.

Sebastian

Hi Ilyas,
did you register every meta model in the standalonesetup bean of your
workflow? Did you refer the other genmodels in the workflow of your
language generator? Maybe you ended up with duplicate classes for one or
another Ecore model?
Hope that helps,
Sebastian

Hi Ilyas,
Indeed it looks like a reference in your model cannot be linked. Thus there is
probably a problem with your scope provider. Please provide more details
(grammar, scope provider implementation, and example) so we can help you
resolve the problem.

Hi Knut,
thanks for your answer. In following I will try to provide more details:
The grammar GUIDSL defines references to EntityDsl. For example:
DataTable:
'datatable' name=ID value=[entityDsl::Attribute|QualifiedName] '{'
(dataColumns+=DataColumn)+
'}';
DataColumn:
'datacolumn' header=STRING value=[entityDsl::Attribute|QualifiedName];
---------------
Both EntityDsl and GUIDSL use a third grammar named Base(Grammar Mixing). For example QualifiedName is defined in Base:
QualifiedName :
ID ('.' ID)*;
---------------
Part of EntityDsl:
Package:
'package' name=QualifiedName '{'
(elements+=Package | elements+=Entity)*
'}';
Attribute:
'attr' (static?='static')? name=ID ':' type=TypeRef;
Operation:
'op' (visibility=Visibility)? name=ID'(' (parameters+=Parameter (',' parameters+=Parameter)*)? ')' ':' returnType=TypeRef;
Entity :
'entity' name=ID ('extends' superType=[Entity|QualifiedName])? '{'
(attributes+=Attribute)*
(operations+=Operation)*
'}';
-------------
And here is my ScopeProvider:
public class GUIDSLScopeProvider extends AbstractDeclarativeScopeProvider {
public IScope scope_DataColumn_value(DataColumn context, EReference reference){
return getEntityAttributesScope(context, reference);
}
public IScope getEntityAttributesScope(EObject context, EReference reference){
if(reference.getEType() == EntityDslPackage.eINSTANCE.getAttribute()){
// get imported entity model
Model model = (Model)EcoreUtil.getRootContainer(context);
Import imp = (Import)model.getImports().get(0);
Resource importedResource = ImportUriUtil.getResource(imp.eResource(), imp.getImportURI());
de.example.xtext.entityDsl.Model importedEntityModel = (de.example.xtext.entityDsl.Model)importedResource.getConten ts().get(0);
// get all attributes
Collection<Object> allElements = GUIDSLScopeProvider.iteratorToCollection(
EcoreUtil.getAllContents(importedEntityModel.getElements())) ;
Collection<Attribute> attributes = EcoreUtil.getObjectsByType(
allElements, EntityDslPackage.eINSTANCE.getAttribute());
// compute attribute names and create scoped elements
Iterable<IScopedElement> scopedElements = Scopes.scopedElementsFor(attributes, new Function<EObject, String>() {
public String apply(EObject from) {
Attribute attribute = (Attribute)from;
Entity entity = (Entity)attribute.eContainer();
// return "my.package.EntityName.attributeName" if the entity in a package
if(entity.eContainer() != null && entity.eContainer().eClass() == EntityDslPackage.eINSTANCE.getPackage()){
Package pack = (Package)entity.eContainer();
return (pack.getName() + "." + entity.getName() + "." + attribute.getName());
}
// return "EntityName.attributeName"
return (entity.getName() + "." + attribute.getName());
}
});
return new SimpleScope(IScope.NULLSCOPE, scopedElements);
}
return super.getScope(context, reference);
}
...
}
Thanks,
ILyas

Hi Ilyas,
Provided that your scope provider implementation declares an import for your
"Package" interface (otherwise java.lang.Package would be used which would
throw a ClassCastException!) and it also declares a method
scope_DataTable_value with the same implementation, I think this looks fine.
If you still have problems I suggest you report a Bugzilla issue and attach
all the grammars, scope providers, and examples required to reproduce the
problem.
Hope that helps,
