Hi,

I was trying to play around with the code given in the xtext Tutorial under Processing Xtext Models, Loading a Resource ( http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/documentation/latest/xtext.html #processing_Xtext_models), but I cannot get it to work.

		// DomainmodelStandaloneSetup.doSetup();
		new DomainmodelStandaloneSetup().createInjectorAndDoEMFRegistration();

		ResourceSet rs = new ResourceSetImpl();
		File file = new File("C:/runtime-EclipseApplication/gettingstarted/my2.dmodel");
		Resource resource = rs.getResource(URI.createURI(file.toURI().toString()), true);
//		Resource resource = rs.getResource(URI.createURI("./my2.dmodel"), true);
		EObject eobject = resource.getContents().get(0);
		
		DomainModel domainModel = (DomainModel) eobject;
		EList<AbstractElement> elements = domainModel.getElements();
		for (AbstractElement abstractElement : elements) {
		  if (abstractElement instanceof Entity) {
		    Entity entity = ((Entity)abstractElement);
		    System.out.println("entity "
		     + entity.getName()
		     + " extends "
		     + entity.getSuperType().getName());
		  }
		}

I get this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot create a resource for 'file:/C:/runtime-EclipseApplication/gettingstarted/my2.dmodel'; a registered resource factory is needed
	at org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.impl.ResourceSetImpl.getResource(ResourceSetImpl.java:394)
	at org.eclipse.xtext.example.Test.main(Test.java:26)

from the line:

Resource resource = rs.getResource(URI.createURI(file.toURI().toString()), true);

I created the Java file in the org.eclipse.xtext.example.domainmodel project, in the package org.eclipse.xtext.example.

What am I missing?? Confused

Regard, Robin

Are you running your code from within Eclipse (not in a separate JVM)?
If so, you shouldn't call the DomainmodelStandaloneSetup. Otherwise, use
a debugger to make sure the line

Resource.Factory.Registry.INSTANCE.getExtensionToFactoryMap( ).put( "dmodel",
resourceFactory);

in DomainmdodelStandaloneSetupGenerated is called. This is where the
resource factory should be registered.

Since I am using the code generated by the MWE2 generation, I am running the Test.java in the same workspace. I don't see why this should be a problem, since nothing is actually running, when I run the Test.java.

How should I do this properly?? It doesn't say in the tutorial ( http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/documentation/latest/xtext.html #processing_Xtext_models).

The line

Resource.Factory.Registry.INSTANCE.getExtensionToFactoryMap().put("dmodel ", resourceFactory);

in DomainmodelStandaloneSetupGenerated is called. I debugged it. But still then the ResourceSetImpl.getResource method falls through every case and eventually throws the RuntimeException. So, somehow the Resource is not properly registered??

I have absolutely no clue... Sad

Hi Robin

did you try to use this URI:
rs.getResource(URI.createURI("my2.dmodel"), true);
?

Basically you code looks ok. However, I'd assume that the file uri has
to use two slashes: file://c:/..

Sebastian

Hi Robin,

maybe you could try this:

File file = new File("C:\\runtime-EclipseApplication\\gettingstarted\\my2.dmodel");

Hi!

Thanks for the replies. Sadly none is working.

rs.getResource(URI.createURI("my2.dmodel"), true);

gives

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot create a resource for 'my2.dmodel'; a registered resource factory is needed

File file = new File("//C:/runtime-EclipseApplication/gettingstarted/my2.dmodel");

gives

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot create a resource for 'file:/C:/runtime-EclipseApplication/gettingstarted/my2.dmodel'; a registered resource factory is needed

File file = new File("file://C:/runtime-EclipseApplication/gettingstarted/my2.dmodel");

also gives

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot create a resource for 'file:/C:/eclipsew/org.eclipse.xtext.example.domainmodel/file:/C:/runtime-EclipseApplication/gettingstarted/my2.dmodel'; a registered resource factory is needed

maybe like this:

Resource resource = rs.getResource(URI.createURI("file://C:/runtime-EclipseApplication/gettingstarted/my2.dmodel"), true);

gives

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot create a resource for 'file://C:/runtime-EclipseApplication/gettingstarted/my2.dmodel'; a registered resource factory is needed

File file = new File("C:\\runtime-EclipseApplication\\gettingstarted\\my2.dmodel");

also gives

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot create a resource for 'file:/C:/runtime-EclipseApplication/gettingstarted/my2.dmodel'; a registered resource factory is needed

Well, I guess it is not the File or URI object since this is valid. The factory simply seems not to be registered. How can that be??? Confused

hello robin,

can you post your complete code loading the model. seems you are not callling standalonesetup.

this code works nicely for me

import org.eclipse.emf.common.util.URI;
import org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.Resource;
import org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.ResourceSet;
import org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.impl.ResourceSetImpl;
import org.eclipse.xtext.example.DomainmodelStandaloneSetup;
import org.eclipse.xtext.example.domainmodel.DomainModel;


public class Test {
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		new DomainmodelStandaloneSetup().createInjectorAndDoEMFRegistration();
		ResourceSet rs = new ResourceSetImpl();
		Resource resource = rs.getResource(URI.createURI("./src/test.dmodel"), true);
		DomainModel model = (DomainModel) resource.getContents().get(0);
		System.out.println(model.getElements().size());
	}

}

Okay, trying again...

I plain tried your code (with the needed modifications of course), but it doesn't work. I think it's not a coding problem but more a how to do things kind of problem.

I am running the Test.java from here: org.eclipse.xtext.example.domainmodel\src\org\eclipse\xtext\ example\Test.java
Directly in the domainmodel, because the generated classes are there available. Maybe this is the wrong way??

Isn't there a full tutorial that covers the "whole way" of working with a DSL in xtext?? That truly would be great.

Well, OK, there isn't much, but I put the workspace and the runtime directory in an archive:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5602365/workspace_and_runtime.zip

My configuration is set up like this:
- the workspace is located on my machine at: C:\eclipsew
- the runtime environment is located on my machine at: C:\runtime-EclipseApplication
- eclipse-SDK-3.6-xtext-1.0.1-win32 is installed at: C:\eclipse

The test files are:

C:\eclipsew\org.eclipse.xtext.example.domainmodel\src\org\ec lipse\xtext\example\Test.java

and

C:\eclipsew\org.eclipse.xtext.example.domainmodel\src\org\ec lipse\xtext\example\Test2.java

Test.java is very messy and contains a lot of trying out but mostly just commented out code, Test2.java is the one with the code Christian provided.

Thanks for having a look!

Hi,

the problem is simple but hard to find Smile

you file extension is "dmodel " (ending with a blank) but your files have od course the extension "dmodel". so changing your workflow to

var grammarURI = "classpath:/org/eclipse/xtext/example/Domainmodel.xtext"
var file.extensions = "dmodel"
var projectName = "org.eclipse.xtext.example.domainmodel"
var runtimeProject = "../${projectName}"

might solve the problems Wink

Note: you may have to merge plugin.xml and plugin.xml_gen

Feel free to file an enhancement request for a validation rule that complains on whitespace in the file extension.

Hi,
I 'd know if the org.eclipse.xtext.example.domainmodel.DomainModel interface is generated automatically or added manually because I don't find it in my project after generation in the src-gen folder
thanks

Christian, thank you so much. It works now. I just changed

var file.extensions = "dmodel "

to

var file.extensions = "dmodel"

in GenerateDomainmodel.mwe2.

@Faiez: I have the DomainModel.java interface in org.eclipse.xtext.example.domainmodel belonging to the src-gen folder. So it is generated automatically.

That's the key......change the extension
But why?
I read the xtext tutorial again and again but not find the source......

Having a trailing blank got a big mess with internal registries -
giving a blank as file extension does not work in most OS but in java
storing it as a key in a hash map does work well
