Hi,

this probably is a stupid question but I cannot get it to work:
Lets say I have an Xtext grammar (with common terminals) like

Model:
   entities+=Entity*;

Entity:
   name=ID (identifier=STRING)? ';';

Now I write the following test:

@Test
def void testParsing() {
   val source = '''
   Name "Hello";
   '''
   source.parse.assertNoErrors
   val model = source.parse
		
   val entity = model.entities.get(0)
   Assert::assertEquals("Name", entity.name)
   Assert::assertEquals("Hello", entity.identifier)
}

This test always fails with an error message that complains about that "Hello" does not equal something like "org.example.example.impl.StringAttributeImpl(at)57173370 (value: Hello)".
Obviously the content of the string is correctly parsed. But how do I access it in Xtend?

Thanks
Ole
