Hi,

I have an Xtext grammer like:

Model: entity1+=Entity1
entity2+=Entity2

Entity1: 'Entity1' prop=ID ';'

Entity2: 'Entity2' prop1=ID prop2=ID ';'

I want to generate codes for each Entity1 and I want to each Entity2 in Entity1.

Example:

public class name
{
This is Entity1
prop1 prop2 //These are properties of an instance Entity2
prop1 prop2 //These are properties of an instance Entity2
}

template.xpt file is:

«DEFINE main FOR Entity1»
«FILE name+".java"»

This is Entity1
«EXPAND test FOREACH Entity2»
«ENDFILE-»
«ENDDEFINE»

«DEFINE test FOR Entity2»

«prop1» «prop2»

«ENDDEFINE»

mw2 file is :

module workflow.MyDslGenerator

import org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.*

var targetDir = "src-gen"
var fileEncoding = "Cp1254"
var modelPath = "src/model"

Workflow {

component = org.eclipse.xtext.mwe.Reader {
// lookup all resources on the classpath
// useJavaClassPath = true

// or define search scope explicitly
path = modelPath

// this class will be generated by the xtext generator
register = org.xtext.example.mydsl.MyDslStandaloneSetup {}
load = {
slot = "entity1"
type = "Entity1"
}
}

component = org.eclipse.xpand2.Generator {
expand = "templates::Template::main FOREACH entity1"
outlet = {
path = targetDir
}
fileEncoding = fileEncoding
}
}



When I run the project, I received lots of errors on the Console. And a "Collection type expected!" error on the editor.

What can I do? If somebody can help me, I will be very glad.

First, elements from Xtext models will only be referrable when they have a name. By default, your Entity types should have a name attribute like
Entity1: 'Entity1' name=ID ';'

Otherwise the Reader component would report something like "Could not find any exported element of type Entity1".

The name of elements can be also computed by providing a different IQualifiedNameProvider and bound it to the RuntimeModule, the default implementation will search for the "name" attributes to compute qualified names for elements. Only elements for which the IQualifiedNameProvider returns non-null can be exported into a slot and then passed the Xpand.

The "Collection type expected!" error occurs because there is no multi-valued reference from Entity1 to Entity2 named "Entity2". If you would like to expand each Entity2 from the same model as Entity1, you could go up to the model.

«DEFINE main FOR Entity1»
«FILE name+".java"»

This is Entity1
«EXPAND test FOREACH ((Model)eContainer).entity2»
«ENDFILE-»
«ENDDEFINE»


Usually this does not really make sense. Usually cross-references would be better here. You should look at the resulting Ecore metamodel from your grammar, this would make it easier to understand your Xpand templates.

~Karsten

Thank you,

I tried the solution but this time I received:

Multiple markers at this line
- Collection type expected!
- Unknown org::xtext::example::mydsl::myDsl::Entity1
property, variable, type or enumeration literal 'eContainer'
- Template.xpt [line: 25] - EXPAND

error.

Hi,

are you using the JavaBeans metamodel or the Emf(Registry)Metamodel.
looks like you are using the JavaBeans one.
=>

«EXPAND test FOREACH ((Model)eContainer()).entity2»

I want to define the attributes of one metaelement in a file which opens with the existing of a different metaelement.

I did not miss the () but can it be because of missing sth in the generator file?

And where do you get the errors. In the editor or in the workflow

complete template is this:

«IMPORT org::xtext::example::mydsl3::myDsl»

«EXTENSION templates::Extensions»
«DEFINE main FOR Entity1»
«FILE name+".java"»

This is Entity1
«EXPAND test FOREACH ((Model)eContainer).entity2»

«ENDFILE-»
«ENDDEFINE»

«DEFINE test FOR Entity2»

«name» «prop2»

«ENDDEFINE»

workflow is this:


module workflow.MyDslGenerator

import org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.*

var targetDir = "src-gen"
var fileEncoding = "Cp1254"
var modelPath = "src/model"

Workflow {

component = org.eclipse.xtext.mwe.Reader {
// lookup all resources on the classpath
// useJavaClassPath = true

// or define search scope explicitly
path = modelPath

// this class will be generated by the xtext generator
register = org.xtext.example.mydsl.MyDslStandaloneSetup {}
load = {
slot = "entity1"
type = "Entity1"
}
}

component = org.eclipse.xpand2.Generator {
expand = "templates::Template::main FOREACH entity1"
outlet = {
path = targetDir
}
fileEncoding = fileEncoding
}
}

The errors in both editor and workflow

Hi still cannot reproduce this. Can you once more post template and
grammar and make sure you use javsbeansmetamodel in editor and
workflow. And can you once more post the error message and ensure
that you call the eContainer () operation and not the eContainer
property

Thanks for your interest. I am sending my codes from beginnig:

my xtext file:
grammar org.xtext.example.mydsl4.MyDsl with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals

generate myDsl "http://www.xtext.org/example/mydsl4/MyDsl"



Model:
entity1+=Entity1
entity2+=Entity2*;

Entity1:
'Entity1' name=ID ';';

Entity2:
'Entity2' name=ID prop2=ID ';';

instance model:
Entity1 name1;
Entity2 name2 properties;


template file:


«IMPORT org::xtext::example::mydsl3::myDsl»

«EXTENSION templates::Extensions»

«DEFINE main FOR Entity1»
«FILE name+".java"»


ENTITY1

«EXPAND test FOREACH ((Model)eContainer()).entity2»
«ENDFILE-»

«ENDDEFINE»

«DEFINE main FOR Entity2»
«FILE name+".xml"»

ENTITY2


«ENDFILE-»
«ENDDEFINE»

Generator file:

module workflow.MyDslGenerator

import org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.*

var targetDir = "src-gen"
var fileEncoding = "Cp1254"
var modelPath = "src/model"

Workflow {

component = org.eclipse.xtext.mwe.Reader {
// lookup all resources on the classpath
// useJavaClassPath = true

// or define search scope explicitly
path = modelPath

// this class will be generated by the xtext generator
register = org.xtext.example.mydsl4.MyDslStandaloneSetup {}
load = {
slot = "entity1"
type = "Entity1"
}
}

component = org.eclipse.xpand2.Generator {
expand = "templates::Template::main FOREACH entity1"
outlet = {
path = targetDir
}
fileEncoding = fileEncoding
}
}

1) The import must be for mydsl5

«IMPORT org::xtext::example::mydsl5::myDsl»

«EXTENSION templates::Extensions»

«DEFINE main FOR Entity1»
«FILE name+".java"»


2) the folder "templates" must be on the root of your classpath. The template "Template.xpt" should be in there.
To check this: Open the Navigator view, the output folder is by default "bin", so it must be
- projectroot
+- bin
+- templates
+- Template.xpt

Hi,
Thanks for replies.

1. I fixed import statement and it is the same as you mentioned.
2. "templates" folder is on the root of my classpath

If I delete the «EXPAND test FOREACH ((Model)eContainer()).entity2» line from my template file, there is not any errors. Everything is Ok. When I add this line, above errors are occured. So, the problems resource is this line but I could not understand why
