Antlr Error Strategy skips tokens until it matches again

Question

I tried this solution but it didn't seem to work for me

Here is an excerpt from my grammar:

module
    : BEGIN MODULE IDENT STRING module_element* END MODULE
    ;

module_element
    : element_1 | element_2 | element_3 | ...
    ;

Above each element is a larger tree. Now that the RecognitionException event is raised, I want to consume tokens until either the next module_element member or the parent END MODULE matches.

Any hints on how to do this inside a class inheriting from DefaultErrorStrategy?

edit: Here is the MCVE:

Program.cs

namespace AntlrExample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var fileToParse = @"C:\temp\MyGrammarExample.txt";

            try
            {
                Parse(fileToParse);
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Exception: " + e);
            }
        }

        private static void Parse(string filePath)
        {
            var lexer = new MyGrammarLexer(new AntlrFileStream(filePath, Encoding.Default));

            var parser = new MyGrammarParser(new CommonTokenStream(lexer));

            parser.AddParseListener(new MyGrammarListener());

            parser.startnode();
        }
    }
}

MyGrammar.g4:

grammar MyGrammar;

@parser::members
{
    protected const int EOF = Eof;
}

@lexer::members
{
    protected const int EOF = Eof;
    protected const int HIDDEN = Hidden;
}

    :   element_1 | element_2
    ;

    :   BEGIN ELEMENT1 name=IDENT desc=STRING other1=IDENT other2=IDENT END ELEMENT1
    ;

element_2
    :   BEGIN ELEMENT2 name=IDENT desc=STRING other1=IDENT other2=IDENT other3=INT END ELEMENT2
    ;

BEGIN : 'BEGIN';
MODULE: 'MODULE';
END: 'END';

ELEMENT2 : 'ELEMENT2';

IDENT 
    : LETTER (LETTER|'0'..'9'|'['|']'|'.')* 
    ;

    : 'A'..'Z' | 'a'..'z' | '_' 
    ;

STRING
    : '"' ('\\' (.) | '"''"' | ~( '\\' | '"'))* '"'
    ;

    : MINUS? DIGIT+
    ;

fragment MINUS
    : '-'
    ;

DIGIT
    : '0'..'9'
    ;

WS
    : ( ' ' | '\t' | '\r' | '\n')+ -> skip
    ;

MyGrammarListener.cs

namespace AntlrExample.Parser
{
    public class MyGrammarListener : MyGrammarBaseListener
    {
        public override void ExitElement_1(MyGrammarParser.Element_1Context context)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Just parsed an ELEMENT1: {0} {1} {2} {3}", context.name.Text, context.desc.Text, context.other1.Text, context.other2.Text));
        }

        public override void ExitElement_2(MyGrammarParser.Element_2Context context)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Just parsed an ELEMENT2: {0} {1} {2} {3} {4}", context.name.Text, context.desc.Text, context.other1.Text, context.other2.Text, context.other3.Text));
        }
    }
}

:

internal class MyGrammarErrorStrategy : DefaultErrorStrategy
{
    public override void Recover(Parser recognizer, RecognitionException e)
    {
        // This should should move the current position to the next 'END' token
        base.Recover(recognizer, e);

        ITokenStream tokenStream = (ITokenStream)recognizer.InputStream;

        // Verify we are where we expect to be
        if (tokenStream.La(1) == MyGrammarParser.END)
        {
            // Get the next possible tokens
            IntervalSet intervalSet = GetErrorRecoverySet(recognizer);

            // Move to the next token
            tokenStream.Consume();

            // Move to the next possible token
            // If the errant element is the last in the set, this will move to the 'END' token in 'END MODULE'.
            // If there are subsequent elements in the set, this will move to the 'BEGIN' token in 'BEGIN module_element'.
            ConsumeUntil(recognizer, intervalSet);
        }
    }
