Hello everyone,

I'm trying to get the IDE to format my DSL, but in spite of the configureFormatting method being called, nothing is happening on the editor window. All text remains the same Smile I was hoping you could point me in the right direction to get the formatter to work!

I'm a newbie on using XText. I just wrote my 1st grammar definition and I'm using validators and the generator to compile my language into javascript. It's amazing! But I haven't been able to get the AbstractDeclarativeFormatter to format my language Smile

This is what I'm doing with the formatter:

import org.eclipse.xtext.formatting.impl.AbstractDeclarativeFormatter
import org.eclipse.xtext.formatting.impl.FormattingConfig
import com.google.inject.Inject;
import com.devfactory.services.KeyStoneGrammarAccess
class KeyStoneFormatter extends AbstractDeclarativeFormatter {

	@Inject extension KeyStoneGrammarAccess
	
	override protected void configureFormatting(FormattingConfig c) {
		c.setIndentation(getStepAccess.tellKeyword_1, getStepAccess.endKeyword_4)
		c.setIndentation(getRootStepAccess.tellKeyword_2, getRootStepAccess.endKeyword_5)
		c.setLinewrap(1,1,2).after(getStepRule)
		c.setLinewrap(1,1,2).after(getRootStepRule)
	}
}


My grammar is rather "simple" and I've tried all sorts of combinations to get the above to work, but it has been to no avail. The "configureFormatting" method is indeed being triggered, it just has no effect when I try to format my language.

This is my grammar:

grammar com.devfactory.KeyStone hidden(WHITESPACE, NEWLINE, SL_COMMENT)


import ".. ecore url goes here.." as ecore

generate keyStone ".. another url goes here .."

ExpressionStatement: (expression+=RootStep)+;
Expression: SelectorExpression|Literal;
RootStep returns Step:
{RootStep}folderName=SINGLELINE?
'tell' context=SelectorExpression
	actions+= (Action | Assertion | Step)*
'end';
Step:
folderName=SINGLELINE?
'tell' context=Selector
	 actions+= (Action | Assertion | Step)*
'end';

KeyboardActionParams: text=STRING;
KeyboardChord: keys+=MetaKey (('and') keys+=MetaKey)*;
MetaKey: 'shift'| 'alt'| 'ctrl'| 'none';
Assertion: 'assert' filter=FilterExpression;
FilterExpression returns KeyValuePair: KeyValuePair =>({KeyValuePair.left=current} 'and' right=FilterExpression)*;
KeyValuePair: {KeyValuePair} property=Expression (valueIsRegex?='regex')? value=Expression;
SelectorExpression returns Expression: MemberExpression ({Expression.left=current} op='of' right=MemberExpression)*;
MemberExpression returns Expression: CallExpression =>({Expression.left=current} op='.' right=CallExpression)*;

BooleanLiteral returns Expression: value=BOOL;
NumberLiteral returns Expression: value=NUMBER;
StringLiteral returns Expression: value=STRING;
RegularExpression returns Expression: value=REGULAR_EXPRESSION;
terminal BOOL: 'true'|'false';

What did you mean by "... I try to format my language" ?
You need to type Ctrl+Shift+F in the editor, or right-mouse-click and select "Format".
The formatter should be triggered then.

Right now, I am experimenting with proposal providers etc.

Sometimes, after a modification of code, my ContentAssist does not show up.
In most of the cases is some NULL which blocks the processing and XTEND resfuses to work.

So if your text is not formatted at all, maybe there is a NULL in your formatter.
