[Pharo-project] SmaCC

by Ross Boylan

I'm using the Pharo 1.0 image and have loaded the configuration for SmaCC. It doesn't seem to come with any instruction or examples about how to use it, and I seem to have only the SmaCC-Runtime package group. I think I need SmaCCDev, but can't figure out how to load it. I opened up the monticello browser, but when I try to add a repository it asks me for an email address. I would appreciate help on any or all of figuring out how to use SmaCC, loading SmaCCDev (or any other packages) and info about package management in Pharo. Thanks. Ross Boylan

I've just commited a new version with more experimentations: - A new GUI. Open it with: AutotestDashboard open. To close: AutotestDashboard close. It's less intrusive and widget oriented (see AutotestAbstractWidget), so we can add more stuff without a big bloat class for GUI. - Only tests of the same package are run. Maybe a not so good idea, as I've seen tests and code are often not in the same package. What do you think ?

Re: [Pharo-project] Help menu disappeared [WAS] [ANN] Pharo-1.1-11400-rc1dev10.06.1

by Adrian Lienhard

OK, Torsten has some good points (like, why not doing it right now rather than later?)! I took the proposal of Torsten from an earlier mail and tweaked it a bit. This shows the complete world menu including sub menus: System Browser Workspace Test Runner Monticello Browser -------------------- Tools ... (<-as today) Windows Collapse all windows Expand all windows Close top window Close all debuggers Send top window to back Move window onscreen Delete unchanged windows System About... Settings -------------- VM statistics Start profiling all processes Start profiling UI -------------- Start drawing again Start stepping again -------------- Restore display Enable halt inspect once Help Help Browser ProfStef Tutorial Welcome Workspace ---------------- Save Save as... Save and quit Quit Note, I inlined the debug menu into System. The reason is that I don't like multiply nested menus and the system menu does not get overly long. Also I deleted "Space left". Maybe other items like "Start stepping again" are also not really useful anymore? Furthermore I moved "Close all debuggers" into the Windows menu. I kept About... in system as I think it has not much to do with Help but more with System. I also changed the labels of some of the items (like Help Browser and ProfStef Tutorial). Does that look reasonable?

If I hadn't carefully reorganized the menus of Pharo two years ago, our menus would still be the same mess as in a previous Squeak version. Of course stability is good, but it should not hinder us to clean up and optimize. Moving a menu item to a better place may be annoying at first but is quickly amortized. > > Cheers, > Adrian > > On Jun 14, 2010, at 16:43 , Torsten Bergmann wrote: > >> Hi Stef, >> >>> do you think that all the good energy that we put on pharo can be summarized >that way? >> >> No, why do you think so?

Re: [Pharo-project] ConfigurationOfCitezen

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

> Hello all, > > Maybe I am simply getting confused by reading code from an "old" image, but I am trying to install Citezen. As I read the configuration, it was written in terms of Seaside 2.8, but it looks like 3.0 is being installed. Any ideas?

So far, all I have found is that I need to "change to the new system" but not much more than that. Perhaps the answer is to comment out the offending #initialize code, load everything, and then worry about how to get them registered. As slick as it is to be able to use Seaside to configure my Seaside apps, I do not want to trust myself on that front; I want them to be secured from the beginning, and temporarily re-configured for development as needed, and then programmatically switched back to secure-or-nothing. > > Semi-rhetorical question: should Citezen be loading Seaside? Could/should there be a Citezen-base or something that just reads BibTeX, and then other things that do all of the web-enabled work? All I do with it is parse entries, for which is very valuable. indeed we could have a citezen base and a citezen for web Damien can reply to you when he reappear from his teaching duties :) not sure that this is not 8 h per day this week Setf
