Can't get a value from a variable [message #1804152]

Hello,

I'm having a problem to get a value from a variable. My "reduced" grammar is this:

Trigger:
	{Trigger} 'trigger' (manual=MANUAL)? | ('cron' cronExpression=STRING)? 
	BEGIN
		TriggerDeclaration
	END
;

And when I'm trying to get the value of cronExpression I'm receive a null value. (yes, when I'm creating a script in my DSL I specify the value).

Here you can see how I'm trying to get the value in generator:

«IF p.elements.filter(Pipeline).get(0).repo.filter(RepositoryDeclaration).get(0).repoComp.get(0).cronExpression!==null»
		"timer": {
			"only_on_changes": false
		},
«ENDIF»

And here you can find a example of my DSL:

trigger cron "0 * * ? * *"
			git "https://github.com/...

hi,

please provide a complete minimal grammar and unit test
in your grammar i e.g. miss an assignment for TriggerDeclaration
e.g

decl=TriggerDeclaration

Here you can find a minimal grammar:


Program:
	(elements+=ProgramElements)+
	;	

ProgramElements:
	Pipeline  
;

Pipeline:
	'pipeline' name=ID ':' 
	(BEGIN
		(repo+=Repository )*  
	END)?      
;

Repository:
	'repositories' ':'
	BEGIN
		RepositoryDeclaration
	END
		
;

RepositoryDeclaration:
	( repoComp+=Trigger | repoDef+=RepoDef )*
;


RepoDef:
	(repo=REPO) url=STRING ('to' locationToSave=STRING)? ('login' username=STRING':'password=STRING)?
;

Trigger:
	'trigger' (manual=MANUAL)? | ('cron' cronExpression=STRING)? 
	BEGIN
		RepoDef
	END
;

terminal MANUAL: 'manual';

I'm trying to discover a little bit more about xtext/xtend so I don't know how to do a unit test, but if I program this in my DSL:

pipeline potatos: 
	repositories :
		trigger cron "0 * * ? * *" 
			git "https://githubs.com/..." to "appless"
		git "https://github.com/..." to "potatos"

Should generate:

...
"timer": {
			"only_on_changes": false
}
...

It's strange why this don't work, because when is supposed to have the "manual" value I can get it.

Sorry, I forgot that one

terminal REPO: 'git' | 'svn' ;

But I found that the problem isn't in "cronExpression" variable, because if I switch order with "manual" variable I can get the value from "cronExpression" but I loose the access of the "manual" variable

besides that this pattern you use all over the place

Repository:
'repositories' ':'
BEGIN
RepositoryDeclaration
END

and its bogus

terminal BEGIN: 'synthetic:BEGIN';

e.g. chaning this

Trigger:
'trigger' (manual=MANUAL)? | ('cron' cronExpression=STRING)?
BEGIN
def=RepoDef
END
;

will allow
