extending scoping for Xbase 2.4.0 [message #1041653]

Hi

as far as I understand to provide a custom scoping for Xbase 2.4.0 one
has to extend XbaseBatchScopeProvider and then use this binding

@Override
public Class<? extends XbaseBatchScopeProvider>
bindXbaseBatchScopeProvider() {
return MyScopeProvider.class;
}

however, the content assist seems to rely on IScopeProvider which is
bound to XbaseWithAnnotationsScopeProvider which has no relation with
XbaseBatchScopeProvider and indeed my modifications to scoping are not
used by the content assist...

is it a known feature or a bug?

thanks in advance
Lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo,

2.4 was primarily an Xtend release. The APIs are not yet fully converted
in Xbase thus there's the inconvenient situation that scoping and
content assist have to be implemented separatly - via the
XbaseBatchScopeProvider and the XbaseScopeProvider.

Best regards,
Sebastian

OK, so for the moment it's better to factor out scoping functionalities
in a separate class and use this one both in a custom
XbaseBatchScopeProvider and in a custom XbaseScopeProvider

thanks

Hi Lorenzo,

do you have any idea how this works with xtext 2.8?
I have the following ScopeProvider:

public class MyScopeProvider extends XbaseBatchScopeProvider ...

and bind this ScopeProvider in my Runtime-Module with

@Override
public Class<? extends IScopeProvider> bindIScopeProvider() {
return MyScopeProvider.class;
}

The problem is, that it seems to be called only during ContentAssist, but not during the linking phase.

Best regards,
Andreas

Hi Andreas

you need to bind XbaseBatchScopeProvider:

@Override
public Class<? extends XbaseBatchScopeProvider>
bindXbaseBatchScopeProvider() {
return MyScopeProvider.class;
}

by the way, do you really need to customize the XbaseBatchScopeProvider?
Usually, you can customize scoping directly in the TypeComputer (e.g.,
add some variables to the scope)

cheers
Lorenzo
