Hi,
Another dump question in context of migration regarding to Datatypes:
E.g. we had the following definition in our OAW xtext grammar:
String DataType:("string"|"integer"|"long"|...|"collection");
And changed to
DataType:("string"|"integer"|"long"|...|"collection");
e.g.
Dto :
'dto' name=ID '{'
properties+=DtoProperty*
'}';
Property:
'property' name=ID ':' type=[Type] (many?='[]')?;
DtoProperty:
'property' name=ID ':' type=DtoDataType (many?='[]')?;
DtoDataType:("string"|"long"|"integer");
Now we are not able to do a switch case with string on DataType Ref's:
e.g. the following doesn't work anymore
boolean isStringType(EntityAttribute this) :
// this.type points to a DataType
switch (this.type) {
case "string": true
case "text": true
default: false
};
How can I solve this problem? How can I get the value of a
Is there a documentation how to solve this kind of (common??) problems?

Hi Martin,
there seems to be a problem with the type inference. In your case,
DtoDataType has not been recognized as a data type rule. Could you
please file a bugzilla? Please try something like this instead as a
workaround:
grammar org.xtext.example.MyDsl1 with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals
generate myDsl1 "http://www.xtext.org/example/MyDsl1"
// this line is new
import "http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore"
Model :
(dtos+=Dto)*;
Dto :
'dto' name=ID '{'
properties+=DtoProperty*
'}';
DtoProperty:
'property' name=ID ':' type=DtoDataType (many?='[]')?;
// the return statement is new
DtoDataType returns EString: ("string"|"long"|"integer");
Regards,
Sebastian
