[Pharo-project] [Survey] Assess the cycles in your software
by Laval Jannik Aug. 24, 2010

Aug. 24, 2010

Hi Pharoers, and Smalltalkers in general, Have you seen waited to assess the cycles in your software? Now you can :) We request some of you to perform an experiment using DSM to see your software package structure and to fix cycles between packages. Our tool shows dependencies between packages and highlight some bad dependencies generating structure cycles. It also helps to understand dependencies. Your goal is to fill a survey using our tool. I prepared a mini-tutorial about DSM and eDSM. It can help you to understand the visualization tool. To ease the use of our tool, I loaded it in a PharoCore1.2. And there are two archives available: - the first contains an image with our tool with a model of Pharo loaded in it, so you can play with our tool on pharo itself. It can be downloaded here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7739334/dsmWithPharo.zip. Pay attention, the image is slow. - the second contains the same thing without the model of Pharo. Here, you have to load your code, then populate a moose model and use the tool. It can be downloaded here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7739334/dsmWithoutPharo.zip The two archives contain the tutorial and the survey. If you are a pharo integrator, we suggest you to take the one with Pharo model loaded, else the other. To use our tool, load your tool in Pharo. Then do "MoosePanel open", and import your software in Moose by "import from Smalltalk image". When it is imported, select your project in the list on the left of MoosePanel, and select "all model packages" on the list on center. Then, you have two choices: - you can scan all your project: right click on "all model packages" and do DSM. - or select "all model packages" then select some packages in the next list and right click, do DSM. After that, you can perform the survey (with reading of the tutorial). We need your answers for the end of August. So, you have two months to do it. If you have any question, just let me know. Best regards, Jannik. --- Jannik Laval PhD Student - Rmod Team - INRIA Certified Project Management Associate (IPMA) http://www.jannik-laval.eu http://rmod.lille.inria.fr ---

[Pharo-project] Issue 2635 - methods recategorization
by Pavel Krivanek Aug. 23, 2010

Aug. 23, 2010

Hi, I finished the list of changes for the issue http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=2635. This issue is the next step after already integrated packages reorganization and the goal is to have compact package base a the small headless PharoKernel image. Most changes are simple naming unification and some classes I skipped because they need deeper refactorings. I will now check the list once more. -- Pavel

I opened the ticket, check it at: http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=2658 Being that is my first one I'm not sure if I did all ok, please don't hesitate in correct me! :) The thing I don't understand is "publish in the repo PharoTaskForces", can you explain please?

[Pharo-project] Cleaning morphic - Step 1 - About "Morphic-Ballon" and the Ballon category
by Guillermo Polito Aug. 12, 2010

Aug. 12, 2010

Hi! Does anyone know what the Ballon category and its related morphs are for? Someone uses it? Is it useful in the Core of pharo? Did Someone try previously to remove it and failed? why? thanks in advance :) Guille

Re: [Pharo-project] Autotest, proof-of-concept [was: About TDD and Pharo]
by laurent laffont Aug. 10, 2010

Aug. 10, 2010

Hi, I've written a proof-of-concept for Autotest. Draft/crappy code and no tests (exploration mode :) but it loads on PharoCore-1.1-11383-beta image. Load it: Gofer new squeaksource: 'Autotest'; package: 'Autotest'; load Open it: AutotestView open (there's en entry in WorldMenu > Tools) And change a tested method to see the results. There's a bug I need to find, maybe someone knows: - Change Bag>>occurrencesOf: - Autotest gives: 284 run, 281 passes, 0 expected failures, 1 failures, 2 errors, 0 unexpected passes Failures: CollectionRootTest>>#test0FixtureIterateTest Errors: CollectionRootTest>>#testBasicCollect CollectionRootTest>>#testDoWithout but in SUnit CollectionRootTest gives 0 run, 0 passes, 0 expected failures, 0 failures, 0 errors, 0 unexpected passes ??

[Pharo-project] HTTP client library in Pharo?
by Andrei Stebakov Aug. 10, 2010

Aug. 10, 2010

I've been trying to find a library for Pharo/Squeak which would handle GET/POST requests with the ability to manage cookies and deal with https servers. The HTTPSocket that's included in Pharo doesn't have cookies support. I tried to find any library that handles cookies and there came up CurlPlugin and SWHTTPClient. SWHTTPClient page has a broken link to the source code (http://map.squeak.org/package/15f42ec1-e93e-4bcf-ab2b-6746ae9d413f) CurlPlugin package for Win32 that I found on the main project page fails most of the tests and can't retrieve any http data. I also found WebClient/WebServer library at http://www.squeaksource.com/@QY3MLGU4hU3c8qcE/2xQek_iM which also fails most tests after installation. I wonder what people in smalltalk community are using when they need to do some web scraping when they need to keep some session in cookies? What would be the best library to invest time into (I am very new to Smalltalk)? Thank you, Andrei

[Pharo-project] Is SystemChangeNotifier notifying about protocol changed (with what changed)?
by StÃ©phane Ducasse Aug. 7, 2010

Aug. 7, 2010

Hi guys I'm trying to work on the integration of the new Rapckage implementation and for this I'm trying to shield myself from event and building system anouncements.... Now when a protocol is added in a class, I get a reorganized event but I do not get the changed element.... And I checked and I see that: notifyOfChangedCategoriesFrom: oldCollectionOrNil to: newCollectionOrNil (self hasSubject and: [oldCollectionOrNil ~= newCollectionOrNil]) ifTrue: [SystemChangeNotifier uniqueInstance classReorganized: self subject]. Am I correct to think that systemNotification does not raised what changed :( arghhhhhhh Stef

[Pharo-project] about ToolBuilder
by stephane ducasse Aug. 7, 2010

Aug. 7, 2010

Hi guys during the sprint I discussed with Gary about ToolBuilder and we think that it would be better to remove it since a lot of new widgets are not covered so this means that we will be constantly limiting ourselves. Of course ToolBuilder is a nice idea (if we would have several UI framework). So far we got only one and we would have several we would have to take the smallest common denominator. Another idea would be to extend toolBuilder to support new widgets. So what do you think? Stef

[Pharo-project] Pharo 1.1 host menu os x
by Michael Roberts Aug. 4, 2010

Aug. 4, 2010

I gave the latest release a spin and it seams quit doesn't work (again). old reference -> http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=1068 can someone confirm? if so do we want a new issue or reopen the old one? Also the host menu is not consistent with the world menu. for example the tools menu is different. Script manager is in one but not the other. The help browser text references it which is why i noticed. I haven't looked at the implementation. is there a way they are supposed to be kept in sync? cheers, Mike
