Retrieving Xtext resources in project [message #689810]

When a Xtext resource is saved, I need to generate a single file gathering information about all Xtext files in my project. To give an example: all my xtext resources contain an "Entity" object with an ID. When one of these Entities is modified, I need to generate a single file listing the IDs of all Entities in the project.

I tried to retrieve those entities using the resource.getResourceSet() but not all resources are present in the resourceSet (apparently, they are only added to the resourceSet when they are modified and saved).

What would be the best approach to generate this file with the Entity IDs ?

Hi Cedric,

assuming your are using Xtext 2.0: You can use an injected
org.eclipse.xtext.resource.impl.ResourceDescriptionsProvider and obtain
the IResourceDescriptions for the resource set. They can provide the
necessary information for your use case.

Hope that helps,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

This is indeed what I'm looking for. Here is my code, this seems to be working but I'm not sure it is really correct:

@Inject ResourceDescriptionsProvider provider
	
override void doGenerate(Resource resource, IFileSystemAccess fsa) {
   var descriptions = provider.getResourceDescriptions(resource)
   var resourceSet = resource.resourceSet
   for (resourceDescription : descriptions.allResourceDescriptions) {
      var uri = resourceDescription.getURI
      var newResource = resourceSet.getResource(uri, true)
      //Do something with newResource
   }
}

Looks good to me.
If you have really many resources, you should think about clustering the
loop body and you could inspect the resource description itself prior to
loading the resource. I assume you are only interested in resources with
a specific file extension?

Regards,
Sebastian
