Hi,
Been using Sirius for a while, it's working great, but now I want to use sub-containers and I have a problem.
Example: House is a container and rooms are sub-containers. I have edge relations between houses and edge relations between rooms inside a house.
I know how to create house container and edge relation between house containers and everything works fine.
Using same principle, I create kitchen container and bathroom container inside house container, and I create edge relation between kitchen and bathroom containers.
Now I want to create tools for diagram. I create house container as parallelogram with child elements as free form. I create kitchen and bathroom containers and everything shows on diagram. I click on house container, it shows on diagram, then I click on kitchen and it shows, also like that for bathroom.
1. problem:
Set name under Create instance, which enables me to show custom name for container on diagram, works for house container, but not for kitchen and bathroom sub-containers. It always stays in form of label, like it doesn't sees name feature. It works for house container.
2. problem
Edge relation won't show on diagram when I use mouse, but when I use model editor to define relation between kitchen and bathroom, it shows on diagram after.
So, everything is good when I use model editor, but through diagram I can't create edge relation to be visible. Once again, everything works on container level, but on sub-container level I have problems.
I suspect that solution lies somewhere in Change context option, maybe I don't define something for sub-containers and their edge relations to be visible on diagram inside container...
Bonus question:
One more thing, how to put name of the node inside lozenge shape? I use free form for children. I saw in documentation example of that, but no instructions.
Thanks upfront

Hi, small update...
I apologize, I just solved 1 problem and bonus question.
For the 1 problem, my label expression was fixed instead of [self.name/], and for the bonus question, I changed label position from border to node.
Sorry about that.
So, it's just about edge relation between sub-containers not showing inside container when I try to create it on diagram.
Thanks again

Hi,
I was trying out couple of stuff, but still no luck. The thing is that sometimes I manage to make change through diagram, but relation is not visible. So, in order to get precise help, here is the example model:
So, house is a container, kitchen and bathroom sub-containers. I use element based edges H2H and K2B.
For h2h edge I made it like this:
Domain class: model.House
Source mapping: House
Source finder expression: [self.eInverse()/]
Target mapping: House
Target finder expression: [h2HTarget/]
In the tools section, I made it like this:
Edge creation
---Edge mappings: h2h
Change context source
---Browse expression: source
Create instance
---Reference name: h2H
---Type name: model.H2H
---Variable: instance
Set h2H
---Feature name: h2H
---Value expression: [h2H->including(target)]
Set h2HTarget
---Feature name: h2HTarget
---Value expression: [h2HTarget->including(target)]
For k2b edge I made it like this:
Domain class: model.K2B
Source mapping: Kitchen
Source finder expression: [self.eInverse()/]
Target mapping: Bathroom
Target finder expression: [k2BTarget/]
In the tools section, I made it like this:
Edge creation
---Edge mappings: k2b
Change context source
---Browse expression: source
Create instance
---Reference name: k2B
---Type name: model.K2B
---Variable: instance
Set k2B
---Feature name: k2B
---Value expression: [k2B->including(target)]
Set k2BTarget
---Feature name: k2BTarget
---Value expression: [k2BTarget->including(target)]
And it will not work. When I try to connect kitchen and bathroom, or house and house, nothing happens.
It is interesting that when I remove from the second Set (from h2HTarget and k2BTarget) including(target) from value expression , then it makes the change in diagram, but line is not visible.
So, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks

I've not read all your use case (sorry). But you can find an example of
edge creation between 2 sub-containers in EcoreTools [1]. You can find
the corresponding odesign here [2], and a tool to create edge between 2
classes (sub-container in package) [3].
I hope this example will help you.
