Hi !

I'm using acceleo in a standalone env (I'm using a standalone acceleo compiler for building .emtl & I'm running my application outside of eclipse).

It was working great until very recently, and I don't know why. As I was using a nightly, I cleaned everything and installed acceleo 3.2 and use these jars in my application now.

But it looks like when a module B, located in my.jarB.jar is using module A, located in my.jarA.jar, there is a problem at runtime [previously, I had a problem during standalone compilation, now it's compiling fine, but not running]. I get these kind of error message:
org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.AcceleoEvaluationException: Unresolved compilation error in generation module.
	at org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.internal.evaluation.AcceleoEvaluationVisitor.switchExpression(AcceleoEvaluationVisitor.java:1671)
	at org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.internal.evaluation.AcceleoEvaluationVisitor.visitExpression(AcceleoEvaluationVisitor.java:1009)
	at org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.internal.evaluation.AcceleoEvaluationVisitor.visitAcceleoQueryInvocation(AcceleoEvaluationVisitor.java:836)
	at org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.internal.evaluation.AcceleoEvaluationVisitor.switchExpression(AcceleoEvaluationVisitor.java:1721)
	at org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.internal.evaluation.AcceleoEvaluationVisitor.visitExpression(AcceleoEvaluationVisitor.java:1009)
....
org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.AcceleoEvaluationException: Invalid result for expression if unresolved query invocation : null() then unresolved query invocation : null().replaceAll('^"', '').replaceAll('"$', '').tokenize(',') else Sequence {} endif->union(getUserIncludes(aType.eContainer(SomeRandomModelClassName))) at line 103 in Module common for query getUserIncludes(SomeOtherModelClassType). Last recorded value of self was SomeModelClassNameImpl@6a435f (name: Atom). Problem found while generating the file 'bla.hpp'.
...


In fact, the exact dep is 'B1 -> B2 -> A' with modules B1 & B2 in my.jarB.jar and A in my.jarA.jar.

The query that causes this error is in B2 (B1 only calls it):


[query public getUserIncludes(aPackage : SomeRandomModelClassName) : Sequence(String) = 
    if aPackage.hasAnnotation('cpp', 'include') then 
        'inc1.hpp,incl2.hpp'.tokenize(',')
    else
        Sequence{}
    endif
/]
[query public getUserIncludes(aType : SomeOtherModelClassType) : Sequence(String) = 
    (if aType.hasAnnotation('cpp', 'include') then 
        'incT.hpp'.replaceAll('^"', '').replaceAll('"$', '').tokenize(',')
    else
        Sequence{}
    endif)->union(aType.eContainer(SomeRandomModelClassName).getUserIncludes())
/]


B1 simply class the getUserIncludes(aType : SomeOtherModelClassType) query located in B2. Query "hasAnnotation" is located in module A. Commenting out this call removes all errors. [the tokenizing of the hardcoded strings are stupid and only here to simplify the test case]

I guess the
unresolved query invocation : null()
are not a good sign.

Hi Marc

My observation is that the Acceleo 3.1 builder was very enthusiastic
rebuilding everything at the slightest excuse. This enthusiasm has been
'fixed' in 3.2, but now many necessary rebuilds do not occur and some
that do, are not displayed in problem markers or detected by a cannot
launch diagnostic, so you get to see the run-time consequence.

clean doesn't work reliably either.

The workaround seems to be to do dummy edits in MTL files so that you
see the markers. Saving them sometimes clears or reveals others.
Eventually you find your bugs and can execute.

Ed Willink

I've seen this behavior quite often inside Eclipse. But here I'm using a standalone compiler, and of course I've tried to clean everything before launching the build. All templates get compiled, but at runtime, intermodule-jars dependencies seem broken.

I think what you are describing is another issue...

I don't think so.

"unresolved compilation error" means that some reference in the EMTL
file is null, which is a problem that occurs at compile time, but which
is now sometimes not diagnosed till run-time.

It may be that your standalone compiler is failing to report an error
either because you or Acceleo has neglected to a deep search for
Resource.errors, which is important in order to get all proxy resolution
diagnostics. A good place to set a break point is on the
resourceSet.getEObject(proxyURI, false) in EcoreUtil.resolve(EObject
proxy, ResourceSet resourceSet) which is only invoked after
resourceSet.getEObject(proxyURI, true) has failed so it

a) gives you a unique place to look at what the problem URI is
b) a retry that you can single step through if you're still baffled.

Hi Marc,

How are you building your jars? In order to do this, you should build the first one normally and then register the path of the second in the dependency attribute for the second one. Are you using binary or XMI based compilation? If you open the emtl file that seems to have a problem and locate the place where the call to this other template should be, what is the uri of the called template?

I agree with you on this.

Problem is that when I run the whole thing in Eclipse, it works just fine Sad [I guess it comes from the 'href', see below]

I've tried to look into the generated .emtl from my standalone compiler, and I see path like this:

 <definition href="platform:/plugin/name_of_the_project_in_eclipse/bla/bla/bla/acceleo/templates/annotations.emtl#/0/hasAnnotation"/>


If I put the file directly in the same package, the href is a simple relative path to the emtl. I'll continue the digging, but any hint is welcome !

Hi Marc,

How are you building your jars? In order to do this, you should build the first one normally and then register the path of the second in the dependency attribute for the second one.


I guess the problem comes from that. I'm simply using ant like this:
- acceleo standalone for module A
- 'jar' task on the directory containing the .emtl => A.jar
- acceleo standalone for module B with A.jar in the classpath and in the 'dependencies' attribute of the ant task. The 'packageToRegister' is always empty.
- 'jar' task on the directory containing the .emtl => B.jar

XMI !

See my other reply above: platform:/plugin/eclipse_project/..../.emtl

Thanks for the pointer, but it's getting way too complex for me. I'll simply forbid dependencies between modules and simply copy files around. Not that clean, but easy to understand...
