Problems integrating a workflow in a plugin [message #650363]

Hello,

I decided to open a new thread besides the other "Problems integrating" thread since I have a different problem.

So as an overview: I have a plugin that contributes a command to an Eclipse popup. With this command you can generate code out of a selected UML file.

I already got rid of the error "Missing required plugin 'org.eclipse.uml2.uml.resources' in classpath" described in here and the problem that no logs are sent to the host eclipse if you run the plugin as an eclipse app with this workaround. And now, which isn't surpring to me anymore, I am stuck again Smile

So I managed to let the workflow run in plugin's context and I am seeing its log. This is the workflow:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<workflow>    
    
    <!-- Set Mappings -->
    <bean class="org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.StandaloneSetup" platformUri="Workspace">

    </bean>
    
    <!-- Read in the model -->
    <component class="org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.Reader">

        <emfAllChildrenSlot value="model" />
    </component>
    
    <!-- Model-2-Model transformation -->

        </metaModel>
        
        <globalVarDef name="includesDir" value="'Includes'"/>
        <globalVarDef name="sourcesDir" value="'Sources'"/>
        
        <expand value="sc::viper::uml2::codegen::uml22ansic::generation::generic::Model::E FOR model"/>
        <fileEncoding value="ISO-8859-1"/>

        <resourceManager class ="org.eclipse.xtend.expression.ResourceManagerDefaultImpl">

        </resourceManager>
        <prSrcPaths value="${src_gen_folder}"/>
        <prDefaultExcludes value="true"/>
        <prExcludes value="*.xml"/>
    </component>
    
</workflow>

Running this workflow through the plugin ends up in this log output:

[INFO] WorkflowRunner - [my log] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[ERROR] WorkflowRunner - [my log] Workflow interrupted because of configuration errors.

If I run the same workflow in a workspace project everything works and nice code is generated.

If I want to debug a little bit and cut the workflow till the first CheckComponent, then following log output is given:

[INFO] WorkflowRunner - [my log] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[ERROR] WorkflowRunner - [my log] [ERROR]: Could not load Check file 'sc::viper::uml2::codegen::uml22ansic::transformation::generic::UML2ModelCheck'.(Element: -UNKNOWN-; Reported by: -UNKNOWN-)

So if I wouldn't have the problem that sc::viper::uml2::codegen::uml22ansic::transformation::generi c::UMLModel is not found then the workflow would stuck because there are multiple types.

So my questions are:

How can I make the workflow find
sc::viper::uml2::codegen::uml22ansic::transformation::generi c::UMLModel? Obviously sc::viper::uml2::codegen::uml22ansic::transformation::generi c::UML2ModelCheck is found, which is in the same scope. Is it really not found or is there another problem? Unfortunately I don't have other (more detailed) error messages. The plugin is definitely in the classpath.
Why there suddenly are multiple types when I execute the workflow in a plugin context run as an eclipse app and how can I avoid them? Reminder: in a workspace project everything works fine.
Why it seems to be so hard to deploy a workflow in such a way?

Do you have any idea?

Thanks a lot in advance and best regards
Tom

Hello all,

i quickly made an example workspace where both errors can be reproduced. It can be found here.

The workspace workflow can be executed if you run CMain in dev.test.codegen.invoke. Please be aware of the absolute paths on my filesystem. All files are there but you have to change the locations. The workspace workflow runs on my system.

The UI-plugin project is in dev.test.codegen.ui. Once you run the same as an Eclipse app you'll find "Testbutton" in your ResourceExplorer's popup menu when you do a right-click on an item. Once invoked the log output can be seen in Eclipse's host application in the console.

Maybe it's more understandable in this way. So if someone of you has the time to have a short look into the same, I would be very thankful Smile

By the way - this can be seen as a simple example for a code generation environment, which I havn't found so far on the internet Smile

Thanks in advance and bye
Tom

Hello Tom,

maybe there different instances of uml packages registered to your epackage reistry at runtime

here is a action that tests this

package terterter.popup.actions;

import org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EPackage;
import org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.StandaloneSetup;
import org.eclipse.jface.action.IAction;
import org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ISelection;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;
import org.eclipse.ui.IActionDelegate;
import org.eclipse.ui.IObjectActionDelegate;
import org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchPart;
import org.eclipse.xtend.expression.TypeSystemImpl;
import org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.emf.EmfRegistryMetaModel;
import org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.uml2.Setup;

public class NewAction implements IObjectActionDelegate {

	private Shell shell;
	
	/**
	 * Constructor for Action1.
	 */
	public NewAction() {
		super();
	}

	/**
	 * @see IObjectActionDelegate#setActivePart(IAction, IWorkbenchPart)
	 */
	public void setActivePart(IAction action, IWorkbenchPart targetPart) {
		shell = targetPart.getSite().getShell();
	}

	/**
	 * @see IActionDelegate#run(IAction)
	 */
	public void run(IAction action) {
		StandaloneSetup ss = new StandaloneSetup();
		Setup s = new Setup();
		s.setStandardUML2Setup(true);
		
		
		EmfRegistryMetaModel mm = new EmfRegistryMetaModel();
		mm.setTypeSystem(new TypeSystemImpl());
		
		
		for (String name : EPackage.Registry.INSTANCE.keySet()) {
			Object o = EPackage.Registry.INSTANCE.get(name);
			if (o instanceof EPackage) {
				if ("uml".equals(((EPackage)o).getNsPrefix())) {
					System.out.println(name + " " + o.hashCode());
				}
			}
		}
	}

	/**
	 * @see IActionDelegate#selectionChanged(IAction, ISelection)
	 */
	public void selectionChanged(IAction action, ISelection selection) {
	}

}

an output like

Quote:

http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/2.0.0/UML 32462141
http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/3.0.0/UML 32462141

is ok since the instance is the same all the time.

Quote:

http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/2.0.0/UML 32462141
http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/3.0.0/UML 32462142

might not be ok since there are different instances bound.

Hi,

Regarding your XtendComponent problem.

do not rely on transitive dependencies.
the workflow is executed in the context of the ui plugin, not the dev.test.codegen plugin. so add the transformation plugin to the ui plugins dependencies.

Hi,

so doing following things finally makes your sample runnable with my eclipse

(1) add dev.test.codegen.generation and dev.test.codegen.transformation to deps of dev.test.codegen.ui
(2) let dev.test.codegen.generation export the dev.test.codegen.generation.generic package dev.test.codegen.generation.generic
(3) set the store location for the dump file in CommandHandler to something where eclipse can write to (not a platform:/plugin/...) uri.

Hello Christian,

today I made your suggested changes and it works also fine with my real project! Thanks a lot for your spent time!
Somehow I didn't thought of exporting the packages Confused

Do you remember if you still had the following messages?

Multiple types (2) with name uml::PrimitiveType found!
Multiple types (2) with name uml::Constraint found!

I mean, currently the generation is working and I am really happy with this, but as soon as I use uml::PrimitiveType or uml::Constraint in my xTend scripts I run into troubles. Do you know where these warning/error messages come from?

Thank you very much and bye
Tom

Ah ok, maybe it was to early this morning Smile

I've overseen your reply. Maybe I was too curious about whether everything works or not. Sorry for this! I'll check the item accordingly and give a note once I have results.

Thanks and bye

Hello,

these metamodels are registered:

http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/3.0.0/UML 18532482
http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/2.0.0/UML 18532482

Not the best news Smile

I think since it is a Set the order of UML2/UML3 is not important, right?

Greets,
Tom

Hi,

this seems not be be the problem.
you could try to debug there the duplicate things come from:

org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.emf.EmfRegistryMetaModel.allPac kages()

org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.emf.EmfRegistryMetaModel.getNam edElementRec(ENamedElement[], String)
