Live validation with EVL [message #1766547]

Hi all,

I added extra validation to my EMF project with EVL and I would like to add live validation. However, live validation only works for Ecore default validation (I get the errors from my EVL validation on Problems when I click the "Validate" button so they are working).

I already tried the last past of this tutorial (https://www.eclipse.org/epsilon/doc/articles/evl-gmf-integration/) but I don't have that package since I didn't create my project with Eugenia.

Thank you for your help,
Sara

Hi Sara,

The EVL-EMF integration does not support "live" validation. Please feel free to submit an enhancement request for this [1].

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi Dimitris,

Thank your for your message.

And manually when the users save the document? Is it possible?

Cheers,
Sara

Hi Sara,

Are you using a generated or a reflective tree-based editor?

Cheers,

Hi Sara,

Is it a reflective or a generated editor?

Hi Dimitris,

I think it's generated editor. How can I check that?

Cheers,
Sara

Hi Sara,

I haven't tried this but tweaking your generated editor's doSave() method and calling Diagnostician.INSTANCE.validate(...) should do the trick as per [1].

Hi Dimitris,

Thanks for your message.
Should I change the doSave(...) of each Editor? And where should I add that Validation after "savedResources.add(resource)"? Sorry I'm kinda of lost...

Cheers,
Sara
