Call functions from other files [message #1725711]

Hi,

I'm developing a grammar where user will be able to declare functions in the editor or in other files. I would like this editor to be able to recognize when the user call a function developed in another file.

The idea I had for the grammar validation part was to copy function declarations in the editor's text, but hidden of this editor.

For example:

//Part hidden
def addition (var a, var b, var c){
        c=a+b;
}
//Part typed by the user in the editor
var a=1;
var b=2;
var c=0;
addition(a,b,c);

I tried to use the setVisibleRegion of my editor's viewer, but it doesn't work.

How could I do that ?

Regards

Hi,

So how do I import script written in other files to my editor (an implicit import ) ?

By default you have to do nothing. How does your grammar and scoping look
like

Well, currently I can't test other files because the data files manager is not working yet. So I just supposed that files created would not be detected in the editor.

Function part of my grammar looks like this:

CalcDeclaration  returns newFunction:
	'def' name=STR '('inParameters+=InVariable (',' inParameters+=InVariable )* (',' outParameters+=OutVariable)* ')' '{'
		instructions+=Instruction*
	'}'
;

	
FunctionCall:
	functionName=[newFunction|STR] '('(arguments+=[Assignable|STR] ',')*  arguments+=[Assignable|STR] ')' 
	;

My ScopeProvider is currently empty.

this should work fine if both files are in the same project (in eclipse) or in the same resourceset standalone.

They are in the same project but not in the same eclipse plugin

I mean, this application will store files containing functions. This files will be managed by a plugin (and stored in a ftp server).
In this application there are GEF components used to display values. This values can be calculated programmatically with an editor using a language (with xtext). You think that these editors will be able to find automatically the functions written in the files ?

if you adapt the scoping accordingly. and or create the resourceset properly (have no idea what you exactly do)

It's a big project so it's difficult to explain but:

A manager plugin provides files containing functions written with my grammar to be loaded.
My editor's plugin can access to this manager. So I want that, when I open an editor, files are read and function references are created. The goal is: when I write a function call in the editor, it's validated when the function is in one of this file.

I'm trying to see how to adapt scoping

Yes and I initialize it like this:

        EmbeddedEditorFactory factory = injector.getInstance(EmbeddedEditorFactory.class);
        final EmbeddedEditor handle = factory.newEditor(resourceProvider).showErrorAndWarningAnnotations().withParent(composite);

        final EmbeddedEditorModelAccess partialEditor = handle.createPartialEditor(true);

        ScriptStandaloneSetup.doSetup();
        if (script != null) {
            String s = script.toString().trim().replaceAll("[;]", ";\n").replaceAll("[{]", "{\n");
            handle.getDocument().set(script.toString());
            handle.getViewer().setVisibleRegion(0, script.toString().length());
        } else {
            handle.getDocument().set("\n");
            handle.getViewer().setVisibleRegion(0, 1);
        }

then i think it is the best to have all in the same file.
you can tweak the visible part using

EmbeddedEditorModelAccess.setModel(XtextDocument document, String prefix, String editablePart, String suffix)

I don't have a good version of Xtext (there is no setModel, just updateModel...). But it works perfectly by using updatePrefix. So my problem is fixed

Thanks for your help Christian Wink
