Hi,

I have a model editor problem after converting an existing project from Xtext 1.0.x to 2.0.

The migration process was to define completley new Xtext 2.0 projects (with exactly same naming as the "old" ones). Then I copied my DSL def (xtext file) and so on to the new projects.

At first I thought everything is o.k. -> I was able to generate as before.

But then I realized that UI functionality is not o.k. -> In my model editor I get errors in importing models from other files (Couldn't resolve reference to...)

Can anybody of you give me a hint whats wrong???

TIA

Martin

Here is part of my grammar def:


	

grammar at.abc.ea.eadsl.EaDsl with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals

generate eaDsl "http://www.abc.at/ea/eadsl/EaDsl"

Model returns Namespace:
	(imports+=Import)*
	(elements+=ModelElement)*;

ModelElement:
	Namespace | Type;

Namespace:
	'namespace' name=FQN '{'
		(imports+=Import)*
		(elements+=ModelElement)*
	'}';

FQN:
	ID ('.' ID)*;

Import:
	'import' importedNamespace=ImportedFQN;

ImportedFQN:
	FQN ('.' '*')?;

DataType :
  'type' name=ID;

DataTypeRef: referenced=[DataType];

Type:
	DataType | Entity | Dto | Service | Presenter;

Entity:
	'entity' name=ID (needsProcessor?='needsProcessor')?   ('ref' ':' masterReference=[Entity])?  '{'
		(features+=EntityFeature)*
	'}';

...


Here are sample model files:

datatype.eadsl:
---------------
type string
type boolean
type date

Daten.eadsl:
-----------
import datatype.eadsl
namespace Daten {
	entity Person {
		attr name:string
	}
}


SpecialDaten.eadsl:
------------------
import datatype.eadsl

import Daten.*

namespace SDaten {
	entity SPerson ref: Person {
		attr berechtigung:string
		...
	}
}

Hi,

how does your workflow look like? please make sure that you deactivate e.g. the types.TypesGeneratorFragment {}

Hi,

thanks for answering.

I created a completley new XText project and moved only some files from the old project (without the workflow).

Do I have to manipulate the workflow file???

BTW, I did the new 15 Minutes Tutorial where imports are also used -> this project (the model editor) works with no problems (the workflow looks pretty identical to mine and also the dsl definition)


TIA
Martin

Here is my (generated) workflow file. I did no changes after project initialization:

Hi,

i just saw that you use importedNamespaces in your grammar. but with import datatype.eadsl importURIs in the model file. Never the less it is working if i create a new xtext project with your grammar out of the box. what is the problem you actually get? did you made any further customnizations?

Hi

the only namable customization is in providing some DslScopeProvider enhancements and checks. I did NO changes in the UI project.

The problem I actually have is, that I'm NOT able to edit my models with the generated UI (I have to use simple text file editing) -> The editor is not able to resolve types (references) defined in other models.

BUT I'm able to execute my own generation process without problems!!! It is only a UI thing...

As I mentioned the same worked in Xtext 1.0.x


TIA
Martin

Hi,

as i said before: with a plain project it works so maybe you scopeprovider customizations may be the problem.

HI,

I did the whole process once more (creating a plain project and copying from the 1.0.x). And (of course) you are right. The model editor works...

Maybe my problem was the merging process with SVN (version 1.0x -> 2.0) which influenced something. Now I deleted the old SVN projects to have no problems in this context...

Thank you very much for supporting.

Regards,
Martin
