Content-Assist for imported libraries not working [message #1740289]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the content-assist for imported libraries to work like mentioned here: [ATL] content assist with library use

However, it does not seem to work. This is my code:

testproject/transformations/Test.atl

-- @atlcompiler emftvm
-- @nsURI EMFTVM=http://www.eclipse.org/m2m/atl/2011/EMFTVM

-- @path MM=/testproject/metamodel/MM.ecore
-- @lib Helpers=/testproject/transformations/Helpers.atl

module Test;

create OUT: MM refining IN: MM;

uses Helpers;

testproject/transformations/Helpers.atl

-- @atlcompiler emftvm
-- @nsURI EMFTVM=http://www.eclipse.org/m2m/atl/2011/EMFTVM

library Helpers;

helper def : test : String =
	'test';

If I type thisModule. in my Test module, I should be able to see the test helper, right? However, I can only see the helpers that are defined inside the same module.
The content-assist for the metamodel works fine though...

Is there something else I need to setup?

It still works for me...
I have had issues before with syntax completion when there's a syntax error in the ATL file you're currently editing; perhaps you can check that?

Cheers,
Dennis

Hi Dennis, thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately this is not the case. I have compiled a simple example project, based on the Family.ecore metamodel, with one rule and one helper inside a library, and I cannot get the content assist to work.
Maybe you can try it out and see if it works for you?

If it works for you, maybe It helps changing to your setting.
Right now I use Eclipse Mars.2 with Eclipse Modeling Tools 4.5.2, ATL SDK 3.6.0, and ATL EMFTVM 3.7.0
(I also tried it on two different machines, in newly created workspaces)

You're right: content assist for imported libraries only works for helpers with context, not for thisModule... You may update the following bug for this: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=412272 (currently has a bad title/description).

Cheers,
Dennis

Hi Dennis,
thank you for clarifying this.
However, it also does not always work for helpers with context. Sometimes I see them, sometimes I don't. I have yet to find out what causes the helper to disappear from the context menu.
I will update the bug report as soon as I investigated some more.
