Debugging DSL Instances [message #1776715]

Hello,

I am trying to debug a DSL instance. I have read on several topics that it should be possible to set a breakpoint in the DSL file and it will put the corresponding breakpoint in the transpiled Java.

Right now I cannot set a breakpoint in the DSL instance. The generated plugins work (code completion, scoping, ...) but there is no way of putting a breakpoint.

Similarly I cannot navigate from the DSL code to the generated Java Code.

Could someone point me to what is missing?

Many thanks in advance

Do you use xbase? Do you use debug trace generator?

Hello thanks for you help.
I use Xtend (which is from my understanding an extension from Xbase) to generate the Java Code. I am looking for more information about debug trace generator.
If I cannot enable debugging I would like at least be able to navigate from dsl code to java code.

No I mean you dsl. Debuggability you will get other only for xbase dsls
Same for go to generated code

If you don't use xbase you need to implement that yourself

For tracing have a look at https://typefox.io/generate-traced-code-with-xtext and the 2.13 release notes

You might need to implement some gluecody yourself
(Copy and paste from xbase)
Cannot give you a complete list of pointers

So no it's not a Xbase DSL, the syntax is completly different and hence xbase was not a good starting point.
Thanks for your help I will start from the link.
