Accessing enum outside Metamodel [message #1784797] Wed, 04 April 2018 09:33 Go to next message

I am defining an enumeration in my Emfatic metamodel.

enum Operator{
	Equals;
	LessThan;
	LessThanOrEqualTo;
	GreaterThan;
	GreaterThanOrEqualTo;
	
	Plus;
	Subtract;
	Multiply;
	Divide;
}


I am attempting to implement an EVL quick fix (Line 111) that allows the user to select an option from this enumeration.
I am also attempting to use it in my XML generation (EGL, Line 152-170)

However when attempting to run the code, I am getting an error message that my enum is an Undefined variable, type or model.
I have tried referring to the enum with it's name: Operator, and also using it's package address: FLAME.Operator, but no luck!

Are enumerations defined in my metamodel unavailable in EVL/EGL?
If not, how can I allow the user to select from the possible values?

Hi,

Could you please try using the # operator (Discussed in Section 3.4.5) in the Epsilon book?

Example Operator#Equals

Cheers,

Great! I must have missed this, have managed to fix the code generation!
Is there also a way for retrieving a list/sequence of all available enum values, for example:

var operator = System.user.choose("Select an operator:", Operator);

Hi Oliver,

A bit of a hack, but Operator#Equals.eEnum.eLiterals should do the trick.

Cheers,
Dimitris

No luck still, unfortunately this gives the error:
Property 'eEnum' not found in object Equals

I just tried creating a minimal working example with your enum and a simple EOL program, and it worked fine (see attachment). I was using the latest interim release of Epsilon, if it helps.

Could you perhaps try this out and see if it works, or if it fails as well?

Just to add to this. Running this program:

Operator#Equals.eEnum.eLiterals.print('options:  ');


gave me this output:

options:  Sequence {EEnumLiteral [name=Equals, value=0, instance=Equals, literal=Equals, ], EEnumLiteral [name=LessThan, value=1, instance=LessThan, literal=LessThan, ], EEnumLiteral [name=LessThanOrEqualTo, value=2, instance=LessThanOrEqualTo, literal=LessThanOrEqualTo, ], EEnumLiteral [name=GreaterThan, value=3, instance=GreaterThan, literal=GreaterThan, ], EEnumLiteral [name=GreaterThanOrEqualTo, value=4, instance=GreaterThanOrEqualTo, literal=GreaterThanOrEqualTo, ], EEnumLiteral [name=Plus, value=5, instance=Plus, literal=Plus, ], EEnumLiteral [name=Subtract, value=6, instance=Subtract, literal=Subtract, ], EEnumLiteral [name=Multiply, value=7, instance=Multiply, literal=Multiply, ], EEnumLiteral [name=Divide, value=8, instance=Divide, literal=Divide, ]}
