No overwrite while generating sourcecode

[casper]

Yesterday I modified the C# code generation template to my needs. I modified alot of templates so I can't recall all my changes. The problem is that when I generate source code, everything is fine. But after that when I generate sourcecode again, the new content doesn't get overwriten. I dont even get the messagebox that asks the question whether to overwrite. The fact is that the old content get's merged with the new content. THis starts at the namespace level. Since there's only one file header (with the comments). After some research I figured out that packageIsFirstNonEmpty is set to not T when I generate for a second time.
But still I'm just lost, I didn't change that much to mess it up that big.

My modified namespace declaration code:

Code: [Select]


$COMMENT="WARNING: THIS IS AN ADVANCED TEMPLATE"
$COMMENT="DO NOT MODIFY UNLESS YOU ARE AN"
$COMMENT="ADVANCED USER!"
%if packagePath == "" or genOptCSGenNamespace != "T" or packageHasGenClasses != "T"%
%endTemplate%

$name = %packagePath%
%if packageIsFirstNonEmpty != "T"%
$name = %packageName%
%endIf%
namespace %CONVERT_NAME($name, "Spaced", "Pascal Case")%


My first generation result:

Code: [Select]

Check the Advanced button when generating. There's a radio button on top of the opening window.

I think what is happening here is the one of your packages (Domain Model) has spaces in the name.  EA tries to find a namespace "Domain Model" and can't.  So it generates the corresponding code for it.

The CONVERT_NAME and related functions are all there for transformation templates, not code templates.  In code generation the name needs to match between the model and code.  If you want to do something like this you'll have to write a transformation to convert the names for you.
