xtend quickfixes access to element

Question

Xtend comes with really convenient ways to deal with quickfixes, but when I do

acceptor.accept(issue, "Change to " + correction, 'Replace the parameter.', 'error.png') [ element, context |

        ...
        ]

the element is not the EObject targeted by the issue, but its container. How can I have access to this specific element?

Thank you by advance.

how do you create the issue? does the container have multiple of the type you search or is there only one? — Christian Dietrich
no i mean: where do you create the issues. if you want to have the child as element you need to create the issue on the child — Christian Dietrich
This piece of code is supposed to be generic, the container could be of different types, as I test the validity of a parameter, and will have several children of the type I am looking for. I raise a static string in error in validator for the Fix @Fix(AnBxValidator.INVALID_PARAMETER) def replacePrameter(Issue issue, IssueResolutionAcceptor acceptor) { ... }` This code proposes to change the variable to well-type declared one, but I want in addition to change the declaration type if possible. I need to access to the declaration of the variable, but from its parent, it is not possible. — Remi Garcia
i still dont understand. can you please update your question and give a complete sample incl grammar, validator and quickfix — Christian Dietrich
I just figured it out. I put the child's literal in the error, but the validator started from the parent to check everything, sorry for this silly error. Resolved — Remi Garcia

Please make sure that the EObject you report the error for and the one you expect inside the QuickFix are the same

    warning('Name should start with a capital', 
        greeting,
        MyDslPackage.Literals.GREETING__NAME,
        INVALID_NAME)
