Hello everyone,

I've searched through the forums and cannot find anyone who has asked this question already. Does anyone know if Xtext supports a "quickfix all" in the default shipped quickfix mechanism? Say I have a bunch of lowercase names that I've flagged with warnings from my validator (with an appropriate issue code). My quickfix is able to capitalize them all individually by hovering over and clicking them one by one to perform the uppercase correction. I'm wondering if I could insert an option in the quickfix popup that would allow me to correct all similar problems with one click.

To solve this, would I have to implement my own quickfix provider and bind it in the UI module?

Thanks in advance.

Brad,

You'll have the chance to fix all similar issues if you trigger the fix
from the problems view. You may want to digg into that code to achieve a
similar functionality in the editor.

Regards,
Sebastian

Hi Brad, Hi Sebastian,

I am very interested in this functionality as well.
Therefore I tried to dive into this in order to evaluate chances for
implementing it.
However, I did not found how to trigger this from the problems view.
Is this possibility still available in Xtext 2.3.1?

Thanks for any pointers.

pls have a look at org.eclipse.ui.internal.views.markers.QuickFixPage.
do you know the plugin-spy http://www.eclipse.org/pde/incubator/spy/?

I had a look into this in July. Conclusion is that you have to do a lot of additional stuff.

Some key code concepts you might want to investigate:

MarkerResolution needs to inherit WorkbenchMarkerResolution (currently not)

Overwrite org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.quickfix.MarkerResolutionGenerator.getAdaptedResolutions(List<IssueResolution>)

You'd need modify Xtext Issue Resolution
