Hello,

I am trying to redefine a QualifiedNameResolver.

So for one of the element of my model, I don't have any name attribute in it.
In my personal QualifiedNameResolver I define qualifiedName for my element using one of its attribute name.

Now my problem is the following:
When doing validation, NamesAreUniqueValidator is seeing there is two elements with the same name, by calling NamesAreUniqueValidationHelper.checkUniqueNames() but when this one try to create an error, it calls (in createDuplicateNameError()) getNameFeature() on the object, which ask for the name of the object using SimpleAttributeResolver.NAME_RESOLVER which is using the name attribute, instead of using... I don't know what!

The second problem is that it makes fail the whole validation process, and then other duplicates are not showed either.

Is there a solution to that or is it a bug??

Thank you

Hi Victor,

your are free to bind your own subclass of
NamesAreUniqueValidationHelper and overwrite #getFeatureName.

Regards,
Sebastian

Ok, I tried to do that, this is what I wrote:
protected EStructuralFeature getNameFeature(EObject object) {
		if (EcoreUtil2.isAssignableFrom(SpeadlPackage.Literals.COMPONENT, object.eClass())) {
			EStructuralFeature a = SimpleAttributeResolver.newResolver(String.class, "fullyQualifiedName").getAttribute(((Component)object).getType());
			return a;
		} else return super.getNameFeature(object);
	}


But it doesn't seem to work either...

Could you give a bit more context how it is doesn't work? Have you bound
your NamesAreUniqueValidationHelper in the right module? Is your code
being called?

Yes, thank you for your answer.

Precisely, I have the following, on top of the files mentioned in the other topic:
public class MyDslRuntimeModule extends org.xtext.example.mydsl.AbstractMyDslRuntimeModule {
	@Override
	public Class<? extends IQualifiedNameProvider> bindIQualifiedNameProvider() {
		return MyQNP.class;
	}
	public Class<? extends INamesAreUniqueValidationHelper> bindINamesAreUniqueValidationHelper() {
		return MyNAUVH.class;
	}
}


public class MyNAUVH extends NamesAreUniqueValidationHelper {
	@Override
	protected EStructuralFeature getNameFeature(EObject object) {
		if (EcoreUtil2.isAssignableFrom(MyDslPackage.Literals.COMPONENT, object.eClass())) {
			EStructuralFeature a = SimpleAttributeResolver.newResolver(String.class, "fullyQualifiedName").getAttribute(((Component)object).getType());
			return a;
		} else return super.getNameFeature(object);
	}
}


So, on my toy problem, it seems to work more or less.
I have only one problem:
The whole Component is highlighted instead of only the fullyQualifiedName attribute of its type attribute, I guess this is because the error creator only knows about the component and not about an attribute of its attributes.

With my real problem, not the simple one here, it does not work, and I am not sure to understand why.

I can reproduce the not working situation with the following in my toy problem:
	@Override
	protected EStructuralFeature getNameFeature(EObject object) {
		if (EcoreUtil2.isAssignableFrom(MyDslPackage.Literals.COMPONENT, object.eClass())) {
			EStructuralFeature a = SimpleAttributeResolver.newResolver(JvmGenericType.class, "type").getAttribute((Component)object);
			return a;
		} else return super.getNameFeature(object);
	}


I traced it one with debug mode and an exception happen at one point, because "a" is null, but it should not, I checked that the type attribute of object is not null.
Also, I am surprised that in the Ecore, the type of Component.type is JvmGenericType and not ComponentTypeWithParam (see the definition of the grammar in: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=203250).

So I think there is 2 problems:

1) there is something strange with SimpleAttributeResolver in this situation (maybe because of this JvmGenericType vs ComponentTypeWithParam thing)
2) the default implementation of NamesAreUniqueValidationHelper doesn't take into account the fact that maybe the feature returned by getNameFeature is not in the object but is in a subobject... But maybe this is my fault for checking the name of Component instead of ComponentTypeWithParam... But then I would need to change my implementation of QualifiedNameProvider which will impact other things...
3) the default implementation of NamesAreUniqueValidationHelper should maybe allows also to redifine how shortName is computed in getDuplicateNameErrorMessage :)

Thank you

Hi Victor,

will your method #getNameFeature be called? Did you try to debug it?
To me it looks like an implementation that is far to complicated. I'd
expected something along the lines:

protected EStructuralFeature getNameFeature(EObject object) {
if (EcoreUtil2.isAssignableFrom(SpreadlPackage.Literals.COMPONE NT,
object.eClass()) {
return object.eClass().getEStructuralFeature("fullyQualifiedName");
// or even
return SpreadlPackage.Literals.COMPONENT__FULLY_QUALIFIED_NAME;
}
return super..
}

Assuming there is something wrong in the framework so your
implementation will not be used but the default:

Please try to remove the NamesAreUniqueValidator from the list of
composed checks in your mwe2 file and register your own implementation
directly similar to the registration of your XyzJavaValidator in your
runtime module.
You'll have to override getEPackages in your subclass and return your
EPackage. This will at least ensure that your own implementation is
grabbed and used.

Regards,
Sebastian
