I am trying to use NRefactory to modify an existing piece of C# code. I have tried to use the method described in this article. I'm getting an exception complaining about duplicate changes. Can someone point out what I am doing wrong, and maybe point me in the right direction?
I have the following section of code:
// contains the source code that needs to be modified
var text = "...";
// is the name of the file in which the target class exists
var fileName = "Foo";
// is the name of the target class
var className = "Foo.cs";
// FormattingOptions and TextEditorOptions are properties available to
// the class containing this code...
var parser = new CSharpParser();
var syntaxTree = parser.Parse(text, fileName);
syntaxTree.Freeze();
var document = new StringBuilderDocument();
document.Text = syntaxTree.ToString(FormattingOptions);
using (var documentScript = new DocumentScript(document, FormattingOptions, TextEditorOptions))
{
var typeDeclarations = syntaxTree.Descendants.OfType<TypeDeclaration>().Where(typeDeclaration => typeDeclaration.Name == className);
var templateProviderDeclaration = typeDeclarations.SingleOrDefault();
if (templateProviderDeclaration != null)
{
var constructorDeclarations = templateProviderDeclaration.Descendants.OfType<ConstructorDeclaration>();
foreach (var constructorDeclaration in constructorDeclarations)
{
var assignmentExpressions = constructorDeclaration.Descendants.OfType<AssignmentExpression>();
foreach (var assignmentExpression in assignmentExpressions)
{
var leftExpression = assignmentExpression.Left;
if (leftExpression != null && leftExpression.ToString(FormattingOptions) == "this.templates")
{
var rightExpression = assignmentExpression.Right;
foreach (var arrayInitializerExpression in rightExpression.Children.OfType<ArrayInitializerExpression>())
{
// uses AddTemplate(), which is an extension method
// which takes in an expression and modifies it, and
// returns an expression
var newExpression = ((ArrayInitializerExpression)arrayInitializerExpression).AddTemplate();
documentScript.Replace(arrayInitializerExpression, newExpression);
}
}
}
}
}
// text retrieved here is *clobbered*, by a few characters
text = documentScript.CurrentDocument.Text;
}
Other Code...
public static class ExtensionMethods
{
public static ArrayInitializerExpression AddTemplate(this ArrayInitializerExpression expression)
{
// TODO : will modify the AST for the target expression
return (ArrayInitializerExpression)expression.Clone();
}
}
Update:
I am trying to change a line like this:
this.templates = new Dictionary<string, ITemplate>
{
{ "Foo", new FooTemplate() }
};
to:
this.templates = new Dictionary<string, ITemplate>
{
{ "Foo", new FooTemplate() },
{ "Bar", new BarTemplate() }
};
For the purposes of this question, the exact specifics of the change I am trying to make aren't important though. I suspect that I have something not constructed quite correctly, but I cannot figure out if that's the issue.
