Two quick questions:

How to I programatically force a re-validation of all xtext resources in a given project/workspace?
Not strictly an xtext question, but how do I iterate over all resources with a given suffix in a given workspace and/or project?

Thanks,

C

HI,

triggering a full build on the project is not an option?
you could use an IResourceVisitor for the traversal

Hello,

I've managed to wire up a full rebuild which occurs on the saving of certain resources that are external (but required) to the DSL processing.

Now, the problem is that a full clean and rebuild doesn't cleardown errors and create new errors as it should (programatically or manually via the Project/Clean option.

If I wish to cleardown linking errors then I have to go into the file where the error is and either press space a few times or select the "validate" option.

I guess my question is then, other than cleaning the whole project (which doesn't work), how to I force a full re-evaluation of all the Xtext resources in the workspace?

Hi,

a clean build actually does this for normal and fast checks.
to trigger the expensive checks automatically you have to build something yourself.

Yes, that's what I want to do, I want to clear the whole state.

This is not a common use scenario. I have a file format which configures the whole behaviour of XText, and when the file changes, I need to trigger a revalidation of everything. Like I say, the "cleaning" approach does not seem to work (in my use case), so I need the nuclear option.

Something like;

for (IProject p : ....) {

    xxxxx.clearCache(p);
    xxxxx.revalidate(p);
}

(I'm guessing here)

Problem solved:

It seems that I managed to toggle the Xtext builder off somehow, but I guess it still did validation on a per-file basis even with it switched off.

Thanks for your help Christian.
