Hi.

I'm using Xtext and am trying to compare 2 files to check if the serialization behaves as supposed to. If I remove or add model elements, everything works fine and the changes are recognized. But changes in attributes that hold Strings seem not to be compared. So if I edit the content of an attribute that is of kind String, these changes are not computed. Do you have any hint for this kind of problem?

Thanks,
Roland

Hi Roland,

That would look like a bug ... But it is unlikely. The name of an EClass
is itself an EAttribute of type String, and a changed name is properly
detected as a difference by EMF Compare.

Can you be more precise as to how you trigger this issue?

Hi Laurent,

my code looks like:


Map<String, Object> options = new HashMap<String, Object>();   
GenericMatchEngine gme = new GenericMatchEngine();

options.put(MatchOptions.OPTION_DISTINCT_METAMODELS, false);
options.put(MatchOptions.OPTION_IGNORE_ID, true);
options.put(MatchOptions.OPTION_IGNORE_XMI_ID, true);
	
EObject model1 = loader.loadModel(path1);
EObject model2 = loader.loadModel(path2);

MatchModel match = gme.modelMatch(model1, model2,options);



where model1 is the original file that is parsed by the ANTLR-parser generated with Xtext. Model2 represents the modified text file. The files contain classes similar to Java-classes. The class name is an attribute of type EString. When i change this name the difference is not recoqnized by modelMath().

I hope this helps.

Roland

Hi Roland,

Sorry for the delay, didn't realize you had answered.

We've never faced this issue : names and other Strings are compared as
everything else, there is no special handling for EString-typed attributes.

I'll need the two models you're trying to compare in order to try and
help you any more than this, or basic samples to reproduce the issue.

PS : you should use MatchService.doMatch() instead of instantiating the
GenericMatchEngine and calling its "modelMatch()" method yourself.
