Hi,

How does one enable backtracking in xtext? From what I've researched I uncommented antlr fragment in mwe2 file, that is this:

fragment = parser.antlr.XtextAntlrGeneratorFragment {
options = {
backtrack = true
memoize=true
}
}


However, I still get 'Resolve by left-factoring or using syntactic predicates or using backtrack=true option' errors. Is there something I've overlooked ?

Thanks for any help,
Dav

Hi,

Actually yes , it is. Clearly I'm missing something obvious, but I'm still not very skilled with xtext. Can you point me where I can find more info on this, or tell me whats wrong ?

Thanks,
Dav

Hi,

you have to enable backtracking there too

fragment = parser.antlr.XtextAntlrUiGeneratorFragment {
            	options = {
            		backtrack = true
            	}
            }

P.S: if you grammar is actually left recusive you have to solve the left recursion.
