Hi,

I am developing a DSL with Xtext 2.6 which is based on Xbase and I would like to do something like:

Concept Airport {
  Attributes {
    Text(9) name {
      Validate {//XBlockExpression}
    }
    Text(19) code {}
    Number(5) someNumber {}
  }
}


I have the grammar and the JvmModelInferrer and now I want to write some Xbase expressions inside the "Validate" block, basically all I want to have is access to the attributes defined within this Airport.

When I use the Content Assist inside the Validate body I only see keywords and that seems to be due to the fact that no types have been computed.

I have found lots of different Xbase classes (IFeatureScopeSession, FeatureScopes, IBatchTypeResolver, etc.) and no good guidance to how these interact and where I would have to implement my custom logic.

So, please, where should I start?

Thanks, Jan

Hi

You should implement the JvmModelInferrer and map the concepts of your
DSL to the Jvm type model (e.g., fields, methods)... with that in place
scoping will work automatically once you set your XBlockExpression as
the "body" of a mapped method...

Have you looked at the domain model example?

cheers
Lorenzo

Hi,

thanks for that tip. I already had the JvmModelInferrer implemented, but missed the assignment to the "body" of a mapped method.
Do you know how I can adapt the scoping for my XBlockExpression, add something, remove somethings, etc. in Xbase 2.6, because it changed from 2.5?

Regards
Jan

Hi Jan

sorry for the late response.
I did something similar in this project:
