On save I would like to delete the previously generated files if they aren't generated again.
I have a flag that determines if a file should be generated or not. If some file was generated, but after the user turn the flag off and save again, that old file must be deleted. There is a way to do this using the Xtext plug-in?

Hi, i am not sure if i can follow you. you can have a look at org.eclipse.xtext.builder.BuilderParticipant.cleanDerivedResources(Delta, Set<IFile>, IBuildContext, EclipseResourceFileSystemAccess2, IProgressMonitor) or org.eclipse.xtext.builder.BuilderParticipant.getDerivedResources(Delta, Map<String, OutputConfiguration>, Map<OutputConfiguration, Iterable<IMarker>>)

Hi thank you for the quick reply.
The method getDerivedResources returns an empty list, but I have files generated and others that should be deleted.

Can you give some more insights on what you are doing inside your generator

Nothing special, I'm using default output configuration and calling:
def protected void generateFile(String fileName, CharSequence contents) {
    fsa.generateFile(fileName, contents);
}

but this works out of the box

Model:
	greetings+=Greeting*;
	
Greeting:
	'Hello' name=ID doNotGenerate?='skip'? '!';



class MyDslGenerator extends AbstractGenerator {

	override void doGenerate(Resource resource, IFileSystemAccess2 fsa, IGeneratorContext context) {
		for (g : resource.allContents.filter(Greeting).toIterable.filter[!isDoNotGenerate]) {
			fsa.generateFile(g.name+".txt",'''«g.name»''')
		}
	}
}


add a skip to a greeting and generated file will go away

Hi thanks for your reply.
The problem was happening because I'm changing the outputDirectory to '.' at doGenerate method. But the outputDirectory in BuilderParticipant.build method was being created with "./src-gen", so it wasn't deleting the expected old files because directories are different. The solution was to do like described in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10350022/how-to-add-multiple-outlets-for-generated-xtext-dsl.
Now it is deleting not generated files as expected.
