NullPointer when generating parser [message #1386288] Mon, 16 June 2014 11:39 Go to next message

I am using Xtext 2.6.1 and I have two grammars:

1. A lang grammar that is based on the Xtend grammar and basically limits the number of types in a file to one

2. A base grammar that extends my lang grammar adding some common parser rules I am going to need in other grammars later.

Now I can generate the parser etc. for my lang grammar without problem, but when I try to generate the parser for my base grammar I always get lots of the following exception:
[ERROR]: GeneratorException: (Element: -UNKNOWN-; Reported by: Generator)

Any idea what might have caused this? Because I remember when my base grammar directly extended the Xbase grammar and everything could be generated.

I looked further into my grammars. In my lang grammer I have something like:

Type returns xtend::XtendTypeDeclaration :
	{xtend::XtendTypeDeclaration} annotations+=XAnnotation*   
	(
		{MyLangClass.annotationInfo = current}
		modifiers+=CommonModifier*
	  	'class' name=ValidID ('<' typeParameters+=JvmTypeParameter (',' typeParameters+=JvmTypeParameter)* '>')?  
	   	("extends" extends=JvmParameterizedTypeReference)? 
	   	('implements' implements+=JvmParameterizedTypeReference (',' implements+=JvmParameterizedTypeReference)*)?'{'
		   (members+=Member)*
	   	'}'
	)
;


Where the EObject MyLangClass directly extends the EObject XtendClass.

With this parser rule in the Lang grammar the generation of my base grammar fails. If I revert the parser rule to the rule in the Xtend grammar that is replacing {MyLangClass.annotationInfo} with {xtend::XtendClass) I can generate my base grammar just fine.

So why does the generator not recognize the {MyLangClass.annotationInfo) action correctly, it seems to not find a name for it?
