The image I was using must have been corrupt somehow. When I took fresh Pharo 1.2 image the script worked fine. Thanks for the confirmation! Martin

If I understand the code correctly, you write to a file in 2 steps (and yes the file contains the data). The input stream is created lazily, after the first write. But it seems strange to me to expect an open reading file stream to see newly written data ? Closing/reopening input works as expected. So you are also testing a particular OS feature here IMHO. Maybe this works on some OS's but it does not seem to work for me (Mac OS X, Cog VM), but other elements might be involved (caching/buffering at various levels, vm, primitives, ..). The intent of the test certainly is that the data would be visible. It's the same generic test we run across all the terminals. I can't give any authoritative statement whether it should work with files everywhere or not, but I can say that it does work across Linux, Windows and OSX in VW. I think the key aspect of this tests is that it's the same process doing the reading and writing. Actually maybe it's even that it must be the same descriptor. I'll have to take a closer look to see what's going on, but it seems to pass for me with Pharo (1.1.1 or 1.2, cog or standard VM) on Linux. I can test it on Windows as well, but I don't have OSX available for this. Does anyone know if it is reasonable to expect it to work on OSX ? I'm certainly not bent on keeping the test that way, our primary goal is to test the API on all terminals. But if it is meant to work this way even on files, then we probably should keep it that way.

Re: [Pharo-project] Issue 3224 in pharo: Migrating MethodReference to MethodReferenceWithSource
by pharo＠googlecode.com Jan. 13, 2011

Comment #4 on issue 3224 by luc.fabresse: Migrating MethodReference to MethodReferenceWithSource http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3224 some comments. We must add a hash method on SourcedMethodReference. I propose: SourcedMethodReference>>hash "Answer a SmallInteger whose value is related to the receiver's identity." ^ super hash bitXor: self sourcePointer All instances of SourcedMethodReference should (*must*) have a defined sourcePointer (not be nil) at instanciation time. But it seems that it is not the case since some initializing methods from MethodReference are not redefined in SourcedMethodReference: MethodReference>>setClass:methodSymbol: MethodReference>>setClassAndSelectorIn: MethodReference>>setClassSymbol:classIsMeta:methodSymbol:stringVersion: MethodReference>>setClass:methodSymbol:stringVersion: For example, in SystemNavigation a lot of methods use: SourcedMethodReference new setClass: class methodSymbol: sel which leave sourcePointer uninitialized. Did these changes break some tests?

[Pharo-project] Changes for PharoDev
by Mariano Martinez Peck Jan. 13, 2011

Jan. 13, 2011

Hi. Today, we have a good way to manage packages/projects (Metacello) and a good way to automatically build images (Hudson). Several months ago, I suggested to remove the PharoWeb image for several reasons (I won't mention them here, check in the mailing list). People have different ideas of what to put in dev images and we cannot all agree. So, I won't say anything new, but just suggest something: Pharo1.2 is beta and it is almost there. We shouldn't change it that much before the release. So, I would include in the Pharo1.2 image what we were including more or less in Pharo1.1. The dev image is being built using ConfigurationOfPharo. This conf, has defined different groups, included the 'Dev' group which us used for building the dev image. Now, what about adding to ConfugurationOfPharo, much more projects, and creating groups for them. Then, with Hudson we can REALLY EASY build another image, but not with the 'Dev' group, but with 'Web' for example. Web is just an example, but we can put as much as we want. I would create a PharoWeb which can contain ALL seaside related stuff (core, addons, pier, margitte, blah). We can use ConfigurationOfSeaside. The same for Aida. We can also add WebClient, Zn, seaside testing, or whatever web related you want. Then we can create a PharoExtras, where we can put (in addition to pharoDev) what it is now in PharoNonCore, plus MemoryMonitor, XMLSupport, Mocker, AutoTest, KeyBindings, etc etc etc. Things that are not "dev tools" but that they are working in pharo and that would be welcome for newcomers. Last comment is that it would be nice if all this can be done using the new symbolicVersions of the new Metacello version. what do you think ? cheers mariano ps: if you like it, we need help to update ConfigurationOfPharo and probably all its referenced confs (to use the stale symbolic version)

Ok if there are not, I think is a must, I spend a lot of time searching for the updated scripts or exporting/importing them in my images. What about creating a wiki page in the google project?
