Hi,

since the normal error message for incomplete unordered groups is not really helpful for the user, I would like to change it to a more meaningful.
SyntaxErrorMessageProvider is the way to go, I know so far, but there are hardly any examples or existing documentation which helped me so far.
Has anyone already succesfully changed this kind of error msg?

Hi,

if your are in such a situation the use of the the debugger is always a good starting point.
this will show:
- org.eclipse.xtext.parser.antlr.AbstractInternalAntlrParser.UnorderedGroupErrorContext.getDefaultMessage() is called
- this calls getRecognitionException and getRecognitionException
- the first one delivers a FailedPredicateException which contains the message info for the exception
- but there is other stuff to call too. e.g. getMissingMandatoryElements

The rest is up to you Wink

Big thanks! I was able to change the error msg now.
Here is the code, for all which are interested:

class EfvmSyntaxErrorMessageProvider extends SyntaxErrorMessageProvider {

	public static String INCOMPLETE_UNORDERED_GROUP = "INCOMPLETE_UNORDERED_GROUP";

	@Override
	public SyntaxErrorMessage getSyntaxErrorMessage(IParserErrorContext context) {
		if (context.getRecognitionException() instanceof FailedPredicateException) {
			return new SyntaxErrorMessage(
					"The following elements are necassary for an adapter inctance: Name, Tool and Model",
					INCOMPLETE_UNORDERED_GROUP);
		}
		return super.getSyntaxErrorMessage(context);
	}
}


You talked about getMissingMandatoryElements ect. - in which case and how could I use this?

Cheers

What about if you have 10 unordered groups, or you want to say what exactly is missing

You're right, but how should I access this methods from IParserErrorContext? UnorderedGroupErrorContext is a subclass of ParserErrorContext. Or am I wrong?

UnorderedGroupErrorContext extends ParserErrorContext implements IUnorderedGroupErrorContext

Sry, I don't get it, how to access UnorderedGroupErrorContext from IParserErrorContext..It's a little bit confusing for me right now..
You mean something like: if (context.getRecognitionException() instanceof IUnorderedGroupErrorContext) ??

OK, I've got my AbstractElements now, but I don't now how to make the type check. This doesn't work:
if( abstractelment instanceof ConfigurationName){
dosomething...
}


Where ConfigurationName is a mandatory element of the unordered group.
