I've transferred (painfully) my Xtext/Xtend DSL project from Windows to Linux.

Now I'm finding that my code generation is working differently.


override void doGenerate(Resource resource, IFileSystemAccess fsa) {
var pkage = "\\com\\holycityaudio\\SpinCAD\\CADBlocks\\"
fsa.generateFile(pkage + resource.className+"CADBlock.java", toCADBlockCode(resource.contents.head as Program))
}

On my Windows systems, this created a package com.holycityaudio.SpinCAD.CADBlocks and created the file resource.className+"CADBlock.java" within that package.

On Linux, it is creating a file with the name:

"\com\holycityaudio\SpinCAD\CADBlocks\"+resource.className+"CADBlock.java"

and putting it in the default package. Well of course the rest of my code doesn't actually like this.

What's going on and how can I fix it?

OK, well as I finally remembered, folder slashes go in a different direction on Linux than Windows. So I had to change this

var pkage = "\\com\\holycityaudio\\SpinCAD\\CADBlocks\\"

to this:

var pkage = "/com/holycityaudio/SpinCAD/CADBlocks/"

Of course, I'd like to find a way to make this OS independent. Any ideas?

Hi,

you can use
"/com/holycityaudio/SpinCAD/CADBlocks/".replace("/", System.getProperty("file.separator"))

So you are compatible even to old Windows versions, which understood only \ but not yet /

Thanks for the info. I don't think I'm going any further back than Windows 7.
