Hello,

I have been playing with different versions of the IncQuery and changing a bunch of setups for my projects. Then I have noticed that my derived queries weren't working like before in my runtime instances, even though the getters were generated into the model codes correctly.

I am getting the following error:

Handler initialization failed, query specification is null. Make sure to include your EMF-IncQuery project with the query definitions in the configuration.


Then again, I have noticed that the plugin.xml's weren't generated with the clean builds of the IncQuery projects, which should have been holding the extensions of the wellbehaving derived features.

The version I am on right now is from the Integration build, since they are also supporting Xtext 2.5 (right?).

 EMF-IncQuery SDK (Incubation)	0.8.0.201405091632	org.eclipse.incquery.sdk.feature.source.feature.group	Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Fault Tolerant Systems Research Group


Why is this the case for all of a sudden? Or I am missing something? I just can't remember that I had to do something extra to let plugin.xml generated.

Would be very happy for a quick response. Thanks a lot!

Best regards,
Emre

Hello again,

I should have picked a little bit more before opening this thread. Activating the "Clean whole directory when clean build is triggered" from EMF-IncQuery preferences has solved the problem. It was indeed off in my new workspace.

Thanks anyway!

Best regards,
Emre

Hi Emre,

this is a really interesting but hard to understand issue for me. If I understand it correctly, you have recently upgraded for the latest integration build for Xtext 2.5 support. Can you tell me what was the previous version you have used? If it was the latest, 0.7.2 release, then in is important to upgrade your existing IncQuery projects as described in https://wiki.eclipse.org/EMFIncQuery/Releases/MigrateTo0.8.

Additionally, you where not sure about Xtext 2.5 compatibility. Basically, since January EMF-IncQuery 0.8 builds worked with both Xtext 2.4 and 2.5; however, with 2.5 we had some content assist issues. We managed those issues by making our builds Xtext 2.5-dependant.

Cheers,
Zoltán

Hello Zoltan,

I wasn't working with any 0.7 versions of EMF-IncQuery either. Since the end of last summer I am on 0.8 and have already migrated all my projects successfully.

Though the problem is solved like mentioned in my previous post. It was a an IncQuery preferences issue.

But do you mean, that the plugin.xml should have been created independently of this preference?

Best regards,
Emre

Hello Emre,

yes, it should have been generated correctly. I have successfully executed builds with that setting turned off (and that is the default IncQuery), and it worked as expected.

If this setting worked for you, it means, there was something in your projects generated folder that somehow caused serious issues with the builder; but I have no specific idea what might have been causing it.

Cheers,
Zoli

Interesting. I will try to reproduce this issue with further settings and projects (maybe also in different platform) to see whether that war project-specific etc. I will get back to as soon as possible with more information.

But in the mean time, to put this preference to "on" to let plugin.xml be generated cannot have any sideeffects, right? As long as the extensions are created correctly, and queries work in the runtime instnce, I think it should be ok?

Best regards,
Emre

Hi,

there shouldn't be any side-effects, unless you are using a different code generator that puts code into the src-gen folders. If the setting is not set, only code created by the IncQuery builder is removed; if it is set, then every files.

Again, my best theory is that something has remained from a previous version, and that caused strange errors.

Cheers,
Zoltán

Hello,

no, there are no any other code generators working on the IncQuery projects and puts any code into src-gen folders.

This might be actually the case, because the project that was refusing to build the plugin.xml was from an other workspace and development environment (probably with different versions of IncQuery), which I was refactoring a lot to save some time due to the complexity of the patterns.

Best regards,
Emre

Hi Emre,

you had an issue that the plugin.xml file was not created. Today I have found out that there was in underlying issue that did not create correctly these files if they were not existing before. I have opened https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=436146 to track this issue, and have pushed a fix to IncQuery master.

Sorry for the problem,
Zoltán

Hi Zoltan,

yes, indeed.

And sorry, that I haven't corrected it, but the workaround, that I have mentioned before to change the IncQuery preferences regarding plugin.xml generation, hasn't actually worked in a new environment later. So I had to copy/paste an existing plugin.xml from another IncQuery project, that was also handling some derived features, and adjust it myself.

But nice to hear, that the problem is now fixed.

Cheers,
Emre
