Below the grammar I use:

grammar com.septentrio.infrastructure.flax.Flax with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals

generate language "http://www.septentrio.com/infrastructure/flax/Flax"

Flax:
    ('package' name=QualifiedName)?
    (imports+=Import)*
    (entities+=Entity)*;

Import:
    'import' importedNamespace=QualifiedNameWithWildcard;

QualifiedName:
    ID ('.' ID)*;

QualifiedNameWithWildcard:
    QualifiedName '.*'?;

Entity:
    Tag|Class;

Tag:
    'tag' name=ID
    ( '{' properties+=TagProperty* '}' )?;

TagProperty:
    name=ID;

Class:
    tagrefs+=TagReference*
	'class' name=ID
	( 'extends' (parents+=[Class|QualifiedName]','?)+ )?
	( '{' sections+=Section* '}' )?;

TagReference:
    '@' tag=[Tag]
    ( '(' ( arguments+=[TagProperty|QualifiedName] ','? )* ')' )?;

Section:
    PropertySection|MethodSection;

PropertySection:
    'properties' '{' properties+=Property* '}';

MethodSection:
    'methods' '{' methods+=Method* '}';

Member:
    Property|Method;

Property:
	type=ElementType name=ID;

Method:
    type=ElementType? name=ID
    ( '(' (parameters+=Parameter','?)* ')' )?
    body=Block;

Block:
    '{' (expressions+=Expression)* '}';

ElementType:
	BasicType|ClassType;

BasicType:
	type=('void'|'any'|'enum'|'logical'|'string'|'integer'|'float');

ClassType:
	type=[Class|QualifiedName];

Parameter:
    type=ElementType name=ID;

Symbol:
    Entity|Parameter|Member;

Expression:
    Primary ( {Selection.operand=current} levels+=SelectionLevel )*;

Primary returns Expression:
    '(' Expression ')' |
    {Boolean} value=('true'|'false') |
    {Integer} value=INT |
    {SymbolReference} symbol=[Symbol] => Parameters? |
    {Metadata} '?' name=ID;

SelectionLevel returns Expression:
    {MemberSelection} '.' name=[Member] => Parameters?;

fragment Parameters:
    parameterized ?= '(' (parameters+=Expression','?)* ')';


and I have this validation check:

@Check
def duplicateArgument(TagReference t) {
	val visited = <TagProperty>newArrayList
	for (argument: t.arguments)
		if (visited.contains(argument))
			error(
					'''Duplicate argument "«argument.name»" for tag "«t.tag.name»" for class "«t.getContainerOfType(Class).name»"''',
					LanguagePackage.Literals.TAG_REFERENCE__ARGUMENTS,
					DUPLICATE_ELEMENT
			)
		else
			visited.add(argument)
}


If I give this to the resulting editor plugin:

tag Animal {
    Running
    Sleeping
}

@Animal(Running, Sleeping, Sleeping)
class Horse


then the error message is correctly indicating that the "Sleeping" tag argument is duplicate BUT it underlines the "Running" tag argument instead... which is not what I would expect.

As far as I understand, the validation check takes an EObject as input and must report an error on an EStructuralFeature. Since the structure feature of the form "argument+=...", how can I specify which element of the list is in error?

Hi,

there are tons of methods with different signatures to report the error

e.g. one that takes an index as well e.g.

@Check
def duplicateArgument(TagReference t) {
val visited = <TagProperty>newArrayList
var index = 0;
for (argument: t.arguments) {
if (visited.contains(argument))
error(
'''Duplicate argument "«argument.name»" for tag "«t.tag.name»" for class "«EcoreUtil2.getContainerOfType(t,Class).name»"''',
MyDslPackage.Literals.TAG_REFERENCE__ARGUMENTS,
index,
"ERROR_CODE"
)
else
visited.add(argument)
index+=1
}
}

I missed those for some reason... it is exactly what I need.

I also discovered that the ValidationTestHelper.assertError() method had a form with offset and length to write the corresponding test.

For the record, I wrote the test like this:

@Test
def void testDuplicateClassTagReferenceArgument() {
	'''
	tag Tool {
		Powered
		Colored
	}
	@Tool(Colored, Powered, Powered)
	class Lamp
	''' => [
		parse
		.assertError(
				LanguagePackage.Literals.TAG_REFERENCE,
				FlaxValidator.DUPLICATE_ELEMENT,
				StringUtils.ordinalIndexOf(it, 'Powered', 2),
				'Powered'.length,
				'Duplicate argument "Powered" for tag "Tool" for class "Lamp"'
		)
	]
}
