[Pharo-project] Is HudsonBuildTools test coverage report ready?
by Mariano Martinez Peck Oct. 31, 2011

Oct. 31, 2011

Hi Lukas. I was playing with the test coverage, I installed the emma plugin for Jenkis and I configure everything. However, I don't get any result but instead a: Emma: looking for coverage reports in the provided path: **/*-Coverage.xml Emma: no coverage files found in workspace. Was any report generated? Build step 'Record Emma coverage report' changed build result to FAILURE Finished: FAILURE I guess that from my xxx.tests.st I should call HDCoverageReport but I don't know how and it doesn't have class comments. What should I call from my .st ? I thought I could do something like HDCoverageReport runPackages: aListofPackages but I don't think that can work, because you need TWO parameters: the tests packages and the "real" packages. Any idea? Thanks -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

[Pharo-project] Is RPackage dead?
by StÃ©phane Ducasse Oct. 31, 2011

Oct. 31, 2011

Hi guys so what do we do with RPackage - (A) throw away 4 months or more of my work. I feel sorry for Nautilus and I could understand that benjmain gets really pissed off. but this means that we will stay with the old browsers. Sounds like a promising future. - (B) use it with a mapping one to one with category (and yes people will have to change the configurations). This is done. - (C) somebody takes three hours to look at what I did and think a bit but does not tell me that this is easy but propose a real plan to get towards a solution. Marcus, igor your wish to have labels (I added them to RPackage). I fixed SystemAnnouncement. Now without help it will not work (if you do not put energy on the table). I have a lot of wishes too and something else to do too. Because we have categories in additionâ¦ I discussed with Benjamin and we can fill up RPackageOrganizer with MCWorkingCopies but this means that we will have to match the complete system with subcategories ( Graphics-Core should match Graphics* So since it does not seem that we are pragmatic or that we want to make progress on this topic, I will do A and we will wait for concrete discussions. Apparently nobody care anyway. So this should not be important after all. Stef

[Pharo-project] Explorer shortcut opens an inspector
by Sean P. DeNigris Oct. 31, 2011

Oct. 31, 2011

With Keymapping loaded via TWM, Cmd+shift+i brings up an inspector instead of an explorer (happens in both workspace and OB source pane), while doIt "anObject explore" does the right thing. Any ideas? Where do I look to see what KM is doing?

[Pharo-project] Website RSS feed broken?
by Stefan Marr Oct. 31, 2011

Oct. 31, 2011

Hi: Every single time a new news item gets posted on the pharo website, Google Reader reports some old items as being new. When looking at the RSS content itself, there does not immediately stick anything out as broken. But still, since this happens every time, and only with the Pharo web page, I assume you got at bug somewhere. Perhaps the guid's of the posts are not stable?

[Pharo-project] How to port this code to 1.3
by Sean P. DeNigris Oct. 31, 2011

Oct. 31, 2011

Old code: Smalltalk isMorphic ifTrue: [self buildMorphicViewOn: aSyntaxError. CurrentProjectRefactoring newProcessIfUI: Processor activeProcess. ^ Processor activeProcess suspend]. I started with: self buildViewOn: aSyntaxError. "Using Polymorph?" UIManager default spawnNewProcessIfThisIsUI: Processor activeProcess. ^ Processor activeProcess suspend. But #spawnNewProcessIfThisIsUI: is only defined for MorphicUIManager, which delegates to Project (I didn't know Project was even still in the image). It seems the UIManager hierarchy needs to be cleaned, but I don't understand it well enough. Some questions: * why does Project still exist? It doesn't seem very useful... * does Project play well with UIManager e.g. if DummyUIManager is active, does Project answer nil to #uiProcess? * is it reasonable to have a default UIManager>>#spawnNewProcessIfThisIsUI: that doesn't do anything, and override in UIManagers with UIs?

[Pharo-project] Jenkis is testing twice (or counting twice)
by Mariano Martinez Peck Oct. 31, 2011

Oct. 31, 2011

Take as an example Fuel. For 2 of the 6 packages, it runs the tests twice. Or at least they are count twice. Examples: https://ci.lille.inria.fr/pharo/job/Fuel/369/testReport/FuelTests.Collectio… https://ci.lille.inria.fr/pharo/job/Fuel/369/testReport/FuelTests.InternalM… Of course, running those tests from a normal TestRunner I see the correct amount of tests. Any ideas? -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

Hey, guys-- There's a job opening with Sempra, some kind of energy company, in the Los Angeles area (Marina Del Rey, Monterey Park--you can Google the locations), that requires C++ and Smalltalk. ===Blake===
