[Pharo-project] running Pharo headless as service on Windows.
by John Thornborrow July 1, 2009

July 1, 2009

Hi all, We're attempting to run a Pharo image as Headless as a Service on Windows XP. We've successfully done this before, but now we're using a later image (and exupery vm) it is unable to fully initialize. Squeak.exe is visible in Task manager. I don't even know where to start looking for more information so any help is appreciated :) I know it's not working because it is only supposed to start, run some specs/tests, then exit the image. When running this manually in the command prompt, it behaves as expected (with and without the -headless opt) but when run as service (SYSTEM user) it starts, but does nothing. Presumably because of Morphic and no user environment for SYSTEM?

[Pharo-project] update to OCompletion
by Romain Robbes July 1, 2009

July 1, 2009

Dear Pharo users, I fixed a few things in OCompletion: -When completing class names, performance should be improved when scrolling the list of possibilities. -Pressing tab when there are no matches in the cache of recently used entries will bring up the normal completion menu. -Fixed issue when on rare occasions the selected item in the menu would be out of sync with the entries and cause a walkback. As always, OCompletion is available at: Installer squeaksource project: 'OCompletion'; install: 'OCLoader' Cheers, Romain -- Romain Robbes http://www.inf.unisi.ch/phd/robbes

[Pharo-project] [ANN] Fix to issue 825
by Hernan Wilkinson June 30, 2009

June 30, 2009

Hi, I uploaded the following package to pharo-inbox: --------------------- Name: SLICE-ChangesFile-Fixes-Hernan_Wilkinson.2 Author: Hernan Wilkinson Time: 26 June 2009, 7:31:40 pm UUID: 54cc49c6-ee34-4d99-b8fe-6b8b3446ea6c Ancestors: SLICE-ChangesFile-Fixes-Hernan Wilkinson.1 Dependencies: Kernel-Hernan Wilkinson.350, KernelTests-Hernan Wilkinson .119, Traits-Hernan Wilkinson.281, Files-Hernan_Wilkinson.ducasse.57 2009-06-26: Fixes to save class changes in the changes file --------------------- With this fix, all changes made to classes like adding instance variables, class variables, changing method categories, changing class package, etc. are saved to the changes file. I spend some time trying to find the best way to do it, like Stef said some time ago, the code is not easy to understand, so I decided to do it the simplest way. So each method that changes something in the class, it also logs the change. The good thing is that no matter where the change is made, it is saved. The drawback is that when changing a class from the browser's code panel, it saves the definition twice. All the changes are saved as "doit", so no change to the file in was necessary. Ironically, I had a power down issue when testing it, so I did not loose anything! (and help me to find a bug). All the changes are tested. See ClassOrganizerTest, ClassTest and StandardSourceFileArrayTest Bye, Hernan. * *

[Pharo-project] Omnibrowser chapter
by Alexandre Bergel June 30, 2009

June 30, 2009

Dear All, I think the chapter can be significantly improved on a number of points: - how to create a command needs to be described - how to import icon into pharo, without that, hard to see how someone can create new icons - using Filter I will sync with Oscar today.

Hi, I'm trying to test all subclasses of Dictionary and I just find a specific behavior for MethodDictionary : -> #add: return the association that has been added except for SmallDictionary for which #add: return the value of the association. Is there a reason for such an implementaion?

[Pharo-project] Execute another program from Pharo
by Frederic Pluquet June 29, 2009

June 29, 2009

Hello, I want to execute another program from Pharo and collect the result (everything shown on the console) as a string. A basic example : *Console execute: 'ls -l /Users'* should return a string like: *'total 0* *drwxrwxrwt 6 root wheel 204 25 jan 23:03 Shared* *drwxr-xr-x@ 46 user1 user1 1564 4 jui 07:46 user1* *'* How can I do that ? A solution for OS-X is enough. FrÃ©d ---- FrÃ©dÃ©ric Pluquet UniversitÃ© Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) Assistant http://www.ulb.ac.be/di/fpluquet
