I have a grammar with a cross reference.

This runs fine when I test it. But when I have in my workspace another DSL file with the same extension, the content assist offers me the items defined in my current DSL file as well as the items of the other file as well.

So how can I limit the cross reference to items defined in the current DSL file only?

As a XTEXT/JAVA/... novice, some sample code would be nice.

TIA, Uli


My Grammar is:
grammar de.ulrichmerkel.Narrowcross1 with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals

generate narrowcross1 "http://www.ulrichmerkel.de/Narrowcross1"

Model:
greetings+=Greeting*
sendto+=Areference*;

Greeting:
'Hello' name=ID '!';

Areference:
"sendto" target=[Greeting]
;

And for the Test I have
A1.narrowcross1 as:
Hello Paul !
Hello Peter !

and A2.narrowcross1 as:
Hello Mary !


adding a "sendto", the content assist offers me Peter, Paul and Mary for A1 and A2
But I want to restrict it to "Peter and Paul" for A1 and "Mary" for A2

Thanks Christian,

but for a novice like me, the issues I googled raise more questions than answers.

I found something at: http://xtextcasts.org/episodes/17-restricting-scope

Can I base my modification on his example (dropping the .filter clause) ?

public class MyDslScopeProvider extends AbstractDeclarativeScopeProvider {
def IScope scope_Farewell_greeting(Farewell farewell, EReference eReference) {
Scopes::scopeFor((farewell.eContainer as Model).greetings.filter [ honest ])
}
}

TIA, Uli

Hi,

yes and no.

the delegatiion hierarchy is

AbstractDeclarativeScopeProvider -> ImportedNamespaceAwareLocalScopeProvider -> DefaultGlobalScopeProvider

if you add a scope method to your AbstractDeclarativeScopeProvider you have to explicitely collect all candidate.

if you customize IGlobalScopeProvider (returning IScope::NULLScope)
or use SimpleLocalScopeProvider instead of ImportedNamespaceAwareLocalScopeProvider
you can keep the default behaviour for local files anyway respectively change it
to be local only

OK, I got it, my /de.ulrichmerkel.narrowcross2/src/de/ulrichmerkel/scoping/Narrowcross2ScopeProvider.xtend reads as:

/*
* generated by Xtext
*/
package de.ulrichmerkel.scoping

import de.ulrichmerkel.narrowcross2.Areference
import de.ulrichmerkel.narrowcross2.Model
import org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EReference
import org.eclipse.xtext.scoping.IScope
import org.eclipse.xtext.scoping.Scopes
import org.eclipse.xtext.scoping.impl.AbstractDeclarativeScopeProvider

/**
* This class contains custom scoping description.
*
* see : http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/documentation.html#scoping
* on how and when to use it
*
*/
class Narrowcross2ScopeProvider extends AbstractDeclarativeScopeProvider {
def IScope scope_Areference_target(Areference areference, EReference eReference) {
Scopes::scopeFor((areference.eContainer as Model).greetings)
}

}

Hi Christian,

It looks like I will get a more general solution implementing your way.

But it's a bit harder to work out what needs to be coded.

Thanks again,
Uli

I examined the mwe2 file, but I could not find it, where do I have to replace "ImportedNamespaceAwareLocalScopeProvider" with "SimpleLocalScopeProvider"?

Hi Christian, I tried to follow your rules but it seems they do not work
when I launch my editor in Eclipse Kepler

Do you see anything wrong with my doing?

TIA, Uli

I found the lines you mentioned in :
de.ulrichmerkel.narrowcross3\src-gen\de\ulrichmerkel\AbstractNarrowcross3RuntimeModule.java

with a hint
/**
* Manual modifications go to {de.ulrichmerkel.Narrowcross3RuntimeModule}
*/

I put there:
package de.ulrichmerkel;

/**
* Use this class to register components to be used at runtime / without the
* Equinox extension registry.
*/
public class Narrowcross3RuntimeModule extends
de.ulrichmerkel.AbstractNarrowcross3RuntimeModule {

// contributed by
// org.eclipse.xtext.generator.scoping.AbstractScopingFragment

// contributed by
// org.eclipse.xtext.generator.scoping.AbstractScopingFragment
@Override
public void configureIScopeProviderDelegate(com.google.inject.Binder binder) {
binder.bind(org.eclipse.xtext.scoping.IScopeProvider.class)
.annotatedWith(
com.google.inject.name.Names
.named(org.eclipse.xtext.scoping.impl.AbstractDeclarativeScopeProvider.NAMED_DELEGATE))
.to(org.eclipse.xtext.scoping.impl.SimpleLocalScopeProvider.class);
}

}

Hi,

i missinterpreted the class.
it delegates to gobalscopeprovider too.
soo you have to come up with your own.

Hi Christian,

looks like my minimal java knowledge needs some more hints what I have to do where.

from your: customize IGlobalScopeProvider (returning IScope::NULLScope)
I assume that I have to somewhere change the return stops.

Can you give me a hand what I have to do (babystep wise), please?

TIA, Uli

Hi Christian, thanks for the code snippets.

Can you give me a hint which files I have to put them in?

TIA, Uli

P.S. I know it's a foolish question, but I'm lost there

the binding to yourdslruntimemodule.
the class to a corresponding java file in the runtime project (or a depending plugin project)
