Hey Obeo folks,

In past versions of Acceleo when we had runtime errors in our templates, the template editor would highlight in red the problem code. I'm just wondering if this feature is available in Acceleo 3? I didn't see it at all while debugging my code. If not, will the feature be added in the future? Without this it is much harder to find out which lines in the templates are causing problems.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Tom,

In Acceleo 3.0, we notify the user with marker for any error during the parsing (if you forget to close a block for example). Parsing problems are visible in the editor. We will also have warnings and informations (TODO / FIXME) in Acceleo 3.1 (example). And during the generation, we also notify the user if something goes wrong, this time in the console.

Do you have a specific kind of error that was detected in Acceleo 2, that is not detected in Acceleo 3 ?

Hi Tom,

To complete, we do not intend on reporting "runtime" errors in the
template editor itself for Acceleo 3. The console and error log display
stack traces corresponding to "in which module did the failure happen,
an on which line". We consider these stack trace to be more powerful
than a simple red marker in the editor, as it allows you to trace
exactly from which templates the call leading to a failure came.

I'm not sure yet. Most of my Acceleo 3 errors were java exceptions. I'm not sure if I've seen any Acceleo generated error messages during generation.
