Both the lexer and parser have a `reportError(...)` method, and my guess is that you did something like this: @members { @Override public void reportError(RecognitionException e) ... } which is a short-hand for: @parser::members { // note the `parser::` @Override public void reportError(RecognitionException e) ... } But since a "no viable alternative" error is something that comes from the lexer, you need to explicitly override the lexer method like this: @lexer::members { @Override public void reportError(RecognitionException e) { System.out.println("CUSTOM ERROR..."); } } Regards, Bart.
