Web editor unable to generate with inferrer [message #1729495]

As my grammer uses XBase, I am using a JvmModelInferrer which successfully converts my DSL into Java code in Eclipse. However in the web editor, calling generate() seems to require a generator. I have tried to create a generator that hooks into the inferrer by:

class MyRuntimeModule extends AbstractMydslRuntimeModule {
	override bindIGenerator() {
		return JvmModelGenerator
	}
}

However I still get the error "Xtext service 'generate' failed: The requested generator artifact was not found." in the web editor. How can I create a generator, or make the web editor use my inferrer?

Thanks!

HI,

this generator is bound by default - it is not the problem.
the problem is the impl of the generator service.
it asumes the generated file to have a certain name.
thus it wont wont this way.

have a look at

org.eclipse.xtext.web.server.generator.GeneratorService.getArtifact(XtextWebDocumentAccess, String)

with

public static val DEFAULT_ARTIFACT = IFileSystemAccess.DEFAULT_OUTPUT + '/DEFAULT_ARTIFACT'

You have to pass a 'artifactId' parameter to the generate funtion:

xtextEditor.xtextServices.generate({"artifactId":"foo"})

It actually is artifact and not artifactId on client side

Thanks Karsten and Christian for your quick responses, the JavaScript is xtextServices.generate({"artifactId":"foo"}) while the form data in the POST request sent is artifact: foo.
In my DSL, each resource can generate multiple artifacts, with the ID of each artifact generated based on the contents of the file. Without having the parse my DSL client-side, is there a way to get a list of all artifact IDs generated from the resource, so that I can call generate() for each ID?

yes and no. what about having your own service

class MyDslWebModule extends AbstractMyDslWebModule {
	
	def Class<? extends XtextServiceDispatcher> bindXtextServiceDispatcher() {
		return MyDslXtextServiceDispatcher
	}
}

import com.google.inject.Inject
import javax.inject.Singleton
import org.eclipse.xtext.util.internal.Log
import org.eclipse.xtext.web.server.IServiceContext
import org.eclipse.xtext.web.server.InvalidRequestException
import org.eclipse.xtext.web.server.XtextServiceDispatcher
import org.eclipse.xtext.web.server.generator.GeneratorService

@Log
@Singleton
class MyDslXtextServiceDispatcher extends XtextServiceDispatcher{
	
	@Inject
  	private GeneratorService generatorService;
	
	override protected createServiceDescriptor(String serviceType, IServiceContext context) {
		if (serviceType == "generate-all") {
			return getGeneratorAllService(context)
		}
		super.createServiceDescriptor(serviceType, context)
	}
	
	protected def getGeneratorAllService(IServiceContext context)
			throws InvalidRequestException {
		val document = getDocumentAccess(context)
		new ServiceDescriptor => [
			service = [
				try {
					generatorService.getResult(document)
				} catch (Throwable throwable) {
					handleError(throwable)
				}
			]
		]
	}
	
}
