Hi,

I'm having hard times to debug some OCL expressions in combination of a custom lazy extent map. Most exceptions are neither propagated nor logged in AbstractEvaluationVisitor:

public Object visitExpression(OCLExpression<C> expression) {
try {
return expression.accept(getVisitor());
} catch (EvaluationHaltedException e) {
// evaluation stopped on demand, propagate further
throw e;
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
String msg = e.getLocalizedMessage();
if (msg == null) {
msg = OCLMessages.no_message;
}
OCLPlugin.log(Diagnostic.ERROR, OCLStatusCodes.IGNORED_EXCEPTION_WARNING,
OCLMessages.bind(OCLMessages.EvaluationFailed_ERROR_, msg), e);

// failure to evaluate results in invalid
return getInvalid();
}
}

Note that OCLStatusCodes.IGNORED_EXCEPTION_WARNING even suppresses log output about the exception.

Shouldn't the exception be stored somewhere? E.g. in the result, the visitor, the evaluation environment or where ever. Just somewhere that I can access it after the evaluation has failed.

Cheers
/Eike

Yes. I've thought about this occasionally, but it's not that high on a
much too long list of problems. Please raise a Bugzilla, so that I can't
forget or dismiss it as one of my own ramblings.

It's not that easy:

a) OCL defines that there is exactly one invalid.
b) OCL definjes that a bad evaluation is invalid.
c) if an expression does ...oclIsInvalid() then invalid wasn't a problem.
d) EMF throws a variety of RuntimeExceptions

I'm inclined to ignore a) since the uniqueness of invalid isn't sensibly
observable, so an invalid-with-context should be feasible.

Regards

That'd be my favorite, too ;-)

I've filed https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=327377 , Preserve exceptions thrown from evaluation

Thank you and

Cheers
