[mwe2] unmapped paths platform:/resource/ [message #1735121]

Hi,

I am running a MWE2 workflow from the command line, outside eclipse (using an ant file which lunches org.eclipse.emf.mwe2.launch.runtime.Mwe2Launcher)

I have a problem with URIs in the form of "platform:/resource/..."

For example, in my worflow, I have

...
      language = StandardLanguage {
            referencedResource = "platform:/resource/..../xyz.genmodel"
...

because the grammar of my DSL references the grammar of another one.

When running the workflow, I get this error:

...
java.io.IOException: The path '/..../xyz.genmodel' is unmapped
...

Note that "platform:/resource" has been stripped.

I know that the problem is not limited to the case of "referencedResource" but appears every other time there is some reference to URIs in the form "platform:/resource".

I am using the jars of Xtext 2.9.

In older versions, the MWE2 file was different and the StandaloneSetup used to have the attribute platformUri, which I could set. Now I can't.
I'm not sure how "platform:/resource" gets resolved or why it gets stripped in the exception message.

Thanks for any suggestion

actually the /..../ part is the most interesting one.

where does it point to?

is the classpath correct. does it contain the /..../ thing?

let's say that my URI is

Quote:

platform:/resource/referencedProj/model/generated/xyz.genmodel

and the actual file is in this directory:

Quote:

{root}/referencedProj/model/generated/xyz.genmodel

And root *is* in the classpath

I don't get the root is the classpath thing. How does that look like in ant?
You may give a try debugging standalone setup .setscanclasspath

The classpath variable in ant contains, among various other things, also the path of the folder {root}.

I have not standalone setup, it's a recent workflow file. The component is XtextGenerator and the relevant attribute is language:

Workflow {
	component = XtextGenerator {
		configuration = {
			project = StandardProjectConfig {
				baseName = "myProject"
				rootPath = rootPath // this is btw the same as my folder {root}
	                        ....
			}
		}
		language = StandardLanguage {
                      ...
			referencedResource = "platform:/resource/referencedProj/model/generated/xyz.genmodel"
		   ...
		}
	}
}

And my folders on the file system:

{root}/myProject/ ...
{root}/referencedProj/ ...

(these are actually the folders where the xtext-generated artifacts are placed, and model/generated/xyz.genmodel is one of those)

I hope it's understandable.
Thank you for your help.

Xtext will magically call the standalone setup class.

This will have a look at class classpath and will look for jars .project files etc.

Unfortunately I don't have the time to build a hello world example reproducing your problem

Usually (maven grade) you put the result jar of the first project to the classpath of the workflow of the second project

Could it not be a problem related to resolving 'platform:/resource' instead of the classpath?

When I run the workflow file within Eclipse, and I put a deliberately wrong relative path for the .genmodel file, I get a file not found exception, and I see that the 'platform:/resource' has been resolved with the actual, absolute path of the Eclipse workspace on my filesystem (so, it makes sense)

This does not happen when I run the workflow outside eclipse; it seems that 'platform:/resource' is not mapped to anything.

Thanks

as i said.

xtext generator will call standalonesetup (at org.eclipse.xtext.xtext.generator.XtextGeneratorStandaloneSetup.setup()) which will build up the mapping of the stuff on the classpath to platform:/resource/xxx uris.
therefore it will have a look at the classpath elements and look for jar files and for .project files.

in eclipse with will work cause the classpath is right. so what about debugging org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.StandaloneSetup.doRegisterResourceMapping(File) inside eclipse

Hi, thanks.

Sorry debugging did not help so far.

I understand that within Eclipse it works as the classpath is right. In fact, it's enough to add 'referencedProj' in properties -> java-build-path -> projects for 'myProject' and Eclipse magically sets the classpath.

How to reproduce the same in the ant file where I invoke the mwe2 runner?
Currently, I have something like this:

<path id="classpath">
    <fileset dir="<root where my xtext jars are>" includes="**/*.jar" />
    <!-- none of the following does the trick -->
    <pathelement path="${basedir}/referencedProj/"/>
    <pathelement path="${basedir}/referencedProj/model/generated"/>
    <pathelement path="referencedProj"/>
</path>

    <target name="generate-xtext-artifacts">
        <java classpathref="classpath"
              classname="org.eclipse.emf.mwe2.launch.runtime.Mwe2Launcher"
              failonerror="true">
            <sysproperty key="log4j.configuration" value="${log4j_cfg}"/>
            <arg value="......./GenerateDSL.mwe2"/>
        </java>
    </target>

Do you see any obvious mistake in my classpath? That works fine when the project is not referencing another one.

Thanks anyway.

i actually found your problem.

 <java classpathref="classpath"
	              classname="org.eclipse.emf.mwe2.launch.runtime.Mwe2Launcher"
	              failonerror="true" fork="true">

you missed the

fork="true"

Great!!!!
That worked!!!!

I would have never realized that myself, thanks a lot.

From ant documentation of the java task:

fork    	if enabled triggers the class execution in another VM (disabled by default)

I wonder why it solved my classpath problem...

Thanks again.
