Hello

I have an error on my ext file:
Couldn't find extension : getWebApp(c.eContainer)

I think it's related to:

DataTable getDataTable(Column col):
getDataTable(col.eContainer);
DataTable getDataTable(DataTable d):
d;
DataTable getDataTable(EObject e):
null;

I have also proble with the extend editor: it doesn't underline the wright line with the error.

Thanks

Copy & Paste error?
getWebApp != getDataTable
You need a extension like this:
getWebApp(Object o):
null;

I have checked this with a little example. The extension is marked correct.
What does your editor do?

Excellent it works with Object e.g.:
DataTable getDataTable(Column col):
getDataTable(col.eContainer);
DataTable getDataTable(DataTable d):
d;
DataTable getDataTable(Object e):
null;

But why it is not working for EObject ?
Which metamodel is 'Object' from ?

thanks

Hi,

Object is from the Xpand internal Typesystem.
EObject may not work since you may use ecore::EObject ??? but you have to use emf::EObject to get it working.
For analyzing the hierarchies the extensions .metaType and .metaType.superTypes may be useful.

You mean that the emf metamodel is not the ecore metamodel in eclipse?

hi,

the namespace ecore is for working with the ecore itself: e.g. when processing an .ecore file as model and working with EClass EAttribute EReference and so on.

If you just want to refer to the parent of an instance these (e.g. an EClass Model) you have to use the namespace emf and therein emf::EObject - this is just a technical thing (cause every metaclass inherits from EObject)
