Hi ,

I was trying out an example of Referencing Elements of one DSL from another DSL . I followed this example from Christian.

http://christiandietrich.wordpress.com/2012/08/07/xtext-referencing-elements-of-one-dsl-from-another-dsl/

Here is my grammar

grammar org.xtext.example.definitions.Definitions with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals
 
generate definitions "http://www.xtext.org/example/definitions/Definitions"
 import "http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore"
Model:
    definitions+=Definition*;
 
Definition:
    'define' name=[EClass];

Referencing Grammar

grammar org.xtext.example.usages.Usages with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals
 
generate usages "http://www.xtext.org/example/usages/Usages"
 
import "http://www.xtext.org/example/definitions/Definitions" as def

Model:
    usages+=Usage*;
     
Usage:
    'use' definition=[def::Definition];

Exception thrown while running

HI,

i cannot reproduce this using Xtext 2.4.0.
which version of org.eclipse.emf.codegen.ecore to you use? its 2.8.x in my case

a little hint: with

Definition:
'define' name=[EClass];

you will have to do additional work to get the Definitions actually indexed and thus the referencing working

Hi Christian,

I have been using Xtext 2.3.1 latest from Xtext.org . Can you guide what needs to be done for definition to be used as referencing from Usage in Rule file.

Regards,
Sri M.V

Hi Christian ,

I have already added Scope providers to load content from an ecore model. Is there anything different which is required to do cross referencing ?

Yes indexing is done before linking so you have to use the node model
to get the name.
