All Layouts Have Containers On Top of One Another [message #1824381] Tue, 14 April 2020 16:27 Go to next message

Hello there,

I have an Eclipse Photon install. I've upgraded it to Sirius 6.3. I have upgrade ELK to 0.6.1. I have enabled, or updated the Sirius ELK integration to 6.3 as well. My Xtext is also upgraded to 2.18

I have a VSM that has a Diagram Representation of my model. The Diagram Representation has a number of hierarchical containers with the final layer of hierarchy doing an import of itself thus allowing recursive containers to be drawn. Each container can have bordered nodes and those bordered nodes can have edges between hierarchy - the typical "port connection model"

Regardless of what layout I pick, and I think over a period of 3 hours I have picked them all (from ELK and the default Sirius ones), when a new diagram is created, all the containers are drawn on top of each other.

Auto-sizing is enabled, but ultimately since they are all on top of one another, I get a diagram with minimal size in the top left.

As I mentioned, I have tried a great number of layouts and I've attempted to adjust the node spacing on all of them and none of them will draw containers spaced out.

I've done all combinations of Select All Shapes, Select All Connectors -> Arrange, Select All -> Arrange.

nothing is work.

What is my first step for debugging this problem?

I can hand layout everything to demo to my team, but as soon as I say change a label in my xtext source file, the entire diagram draws itself on top of itself again.

Do I need to install graphviz on my own?

I have implemented something similar with no problem. If you can provide further details I can try to help.

It's some kind of annoying runtime problem with my install. I can't even draw the example.basicfamily tutorial without drawing all the family members on top of each other. And there's no layout I can put in my VSM that will fix it - they all draw everything on top of each other.

So my upgrade of Sirius from the Photon Modeling install has something that has gone wrong. I guess I just start over until I find a configuration that works. I tried to downgrade to ELK 0.5 because that's what Sirius 3.0 was released with and that doesn't work either. Doesn't really seem like it should be this easy to mess up the install.

I get heaps of runtime messages in my console saying :

!ENTRY: org.eclipse.elk.core.services 2
!MESSAGE: Unable to build the layout graph from the given selection

At least I now know it's fundamentally broken as part of my install and if I get it right, I have a chance of my VSM working.

I've got an install configuration that works at runtime now. Nodes are not all drawn on top of each other. I can't find a good layout though. Everything looks terrible in a different way and I've spent hours tweaking options asking myself if Sirius and ELK are even considering the options I've selected.
