Hi there

I have a question regarding the Xtext LSP.

We already have an Eclipse plugin project for our Xtext DSL and want to offer support for VS Code now (by using the LSP of course). I started with my VS code extension by using the example project here: https://github.com/itemis/xtext-languageserver-example

My question: In our Xtext project, the generators are not called automatically (by intention). We disabled the automatic generation and offer context menu entries in Eclipse to call them manually (inspired by this solution: https://www.dietrich-it.de/xtext/2011/10/15/xtext-calling-the-generator-from-a-context-menu.html). Now, how can I implement the same thing in my VSCode/LSP solution?

My idea is to create commands, and then call the generators (that implement the IGenerator2 interface) from the CommandService (implements IExecutableCommandService). Is this the right way to do it? And if yes, has anyone an example how I can call the generators in this context? (I'm especially not sure how to get the IFileSystemAccess2 in this context)

Thanks and best regards,
Stefan

you can create a java.io.FileSystemAccess or a InMemoryFileSystemAccess depending on your needs

Thanks Christian, and sorry for the stupid question :)

Got it working... Basically the same possibilities as when using Xtext standalone (outside Eclipse).
