I am trying to generate code from a model using Xpand.
The model conforms to a metamodel that references another metamodel.

When I run the workflow I normally use for generating code with Xpand, I get a java.lang.NullPointerException.

The workflow is as follows:
<workflow>
  <property name="model" value="TemporalLogicPrettyPrinter/src/My.temporallogic"/>
  <property name="src-gen" value="src-gen"/>

  <!-- set up EMF for standalone execution -->
  <bean class="org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.StandaloneSetup">
    <platformUri value=".."/>
    <registerEcoreFile value="platform:/resource/TemporalLogicPrettyPrinter/src/metamodel/temporallogic.ecore"/>
    <registerEcoreFile value="platform:/resource/TemporalLogicPrettyPrinter/src/metamodel/slco.ecore"/>
  </bean>

  <!-- load model and store it in slot 'model' -->
  <component class="org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.Reader">
    <uri value="platform:/resource/${model}"/>
    <modelSlot value="model"/>
  </component>

  <!--  generate code -->
  <component class="org.eclipse.xpand2.Generator">
    <metaModel id="mm" class="org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.emf.EmfRegistryMetaModel"/>
    <expand value="template::TemporalLogicPrettyPrinter::generateprettyPrint FOR model"/>
    <outlet path="${src-gen}"/>
  </component>
</workflow>


The metamodel temporallogic.ecore references the slco.ecore metamodel.

The complete error message I get is as follows:

Does anybody have an idea what I am doing wrong?

Hello Marcel,

given your stacktrace, EMF seems to have trouble in finding your
metamodels. Did you try to open the instance model in the reflective
editor and have it validated? Maybe the resource URLs are broken.

Best regards,

Hello Erhard,

Validation reports no errors or warnings.
I exported my metamodels as plugins.

Regards,

Marcel

I assume that one ecore references the other?
How does the reference look like, i.e. can you post the URI?

Hi,

The metamodel part where the reference is used is as follows:

<eClassifiers xsi:type="ecore:EClass" name="AtomicProposition" eSuperTypes="#//PathFormula">
    <eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EAttribute" name="ComparisonOperator" lowerBound="1" eType="#//ComparisonOperators"/>
    <eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EReference" name="Variable" lowerBound="1" eType="ecore:EClass platform:/plugin/slco.emf/model/slco.ecore#//Variable"/>
    <eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EAttribute" name="Value" lowerBound="1" eType="ecore:EDataType http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore#//EInt"/>
  </eClassifiers>


I managed to get it to work using a totally different workflow:
<workflow>
  <property name="model" value="My.temporallogic"/>
  <property name="targetdir" value="src-gen"/>

  <component class="org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.Reader">
    <uri value="src/${model}"/>
    <modelSlot value="LTLFormula"/>
  </component>

  <component class='org.eclipse.xpand2.Generator'>
    <metaModel id="temporallogic" class="org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.emf.EmfMetaModel">
      <metaModelPackage value="temporallogic.TemporallogicPackage"/>
    </metaModel>
    <metaModel id="slco" class="org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.emf.EmfMetaModel">
      <metaModelPackage value="slco.SlcoPackage"/>
    </metaModel>
    <expand value='template::TemporalLogicPrettyPrinter::prettyPrint FOR LTLFormula'/>
    <genPath value='${targetdir}'/>
  </component>

</workflow>


Thanks for your help!

Have you tried the org.eclipse.emf.ecore.dynamic_package extension point
to register your metamodel in the EMF registry? Might be more robust.
Currently, your referencing metamodel will break if source paths in the
referenced metamodel are changed. This may as well solve your initial
problem.

For curiosity, could you try this directory schema ("src/${model}") in
your previous workflow? There you used the platform/resource schema.
