Title: Code Grammer + MDG
Post by: TxRx on December 13, 2023, 12:46:04 am

I can create a new Code Grammer and I can add the new Code Grammer to an MDG technology. The new language appears on the list of languages in the preferences dialog and all seems well except that I cannot import source code for the new language, the language never appears in the list of languages for Import Source Directory. How do I reverse engineer my new language into EA using my new Code Grammer?

Thanks.

You might have either missed one of the required parts for your MDG https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/16.1/modeling_frameworks/addingcodemodulesinmdgtec.html (https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/16.1/modeling_frameworks/addingcodemodulesinmdgtec.html)
Or possibly, you might have an error somewhere that prevents it from working correctly.

Unfortunately, EA won't tell you what went wrong, you'll have to figure it out yourself.
I would start by analysing an existing MDG that you know works, and then try to figure out the differences between the working sample, and yours.

Any chance you can share what went wrong, and what you did to fix it?

If a future user stumbles upon this topic, searching for a solution, they would be pretty dissappointed with a "I fixed it"  :)
