[Xpand] Protected Region [message #542322]

Using Xpand/Xtext 0.7.2

I successfully modified the mwe workflow to respect protected regions:

		<prSrcPaths value="src-protected/"/>
		<prDefaultExcludes value="true"/>
		<prExcludes value="*.xml"/>

The generated code I have now comments like that:

//PROTECTED REGION ID(com.mycomp.fef.fefDsl.impl.TransitionImpl@31f2a7) ENABLED START					
// Add your application specific code in this block
					
// End of application specific code block
//PROTECTED REGION END

However when I add some code in this block, it will disappear on the next regeneration.

Do I have to add files to the folder src-protected with the content of each protected region? And if yes, how do I have to format them that each regions receives its content? Is the symbol @ just an character or does it have a special function (besides seperating an enumerator from the URI)?

Thanks in advance!

PS: I know protected regions are outdated. Using Guice would be my next step.

Hi Simon,

do you clean the directory that contains the files with protected
regions? Please check the DirectoryCleaner component in your workflow
and the outlet configuration for the generator.

Regards,
Sebastian

No, I don't think so:

<workflow>
	<property name="modelFile" value="../FefModel/FefModel.fefdsl"/>
	<property name="targetDir" value="src-gen"/>
	<property name="outlet.src.protected.dir" value ="src-protected"/>

	<bean class="org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.StandaloneSetup" platformUri=".."/>
	
	<component class="org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.DirectoryCleaner" directory="${targetDir}"/>
	
	<component class="org.eclipse.xtext.MweReader" uri="${modelFile}">
		<!-- this class will be generated by the xtext generator -->
		<register class="com.mycomp.fef.FefDslStandaloneSetup"/>
	</component>
				
	<component class="org.eclipse.xpand2.Generator">
		<metaModel class="org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.emf.EmfRegistryMetaModel"/>
		<fileEncoding value="Cp1252"/>
		<expand value="templates::Fef::main FOR model"/>
		<genPath value="${targetDir}"/>

		<!--<outlet path="${outlet.src.protected.dir}" name="src-protected" overwrite="true" />-->
		<prSrcPaths value="src-protected/"/>
		<prDefaultExcludes value="true"/>
		<prExcludes value="*.xml"/>
	</component>
</workflow>

DirectoryCleaner is only pointed to $targetDir

The overwrite option for $outlet.src.protected.dir is commented out.
