Re: [Pharo-project] Issue 3817 in pharo: make Object >> error: deprecated

by pharo＠googlecode.com

Comment #7 on issue 3817 by camillob...(a)gmail.com: make Object >> error: deprecated http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3817 I agree that `self error:` is amazingly useful, but it should be used with caution. Lazyness is never an argument for keeping a partly broken design! It is similar to using dictionaries or arrays instead of real objects with a proper class attached. If your error is just to inform the user, then it belongs into the View, nowhere else! And then you should use something like a UserNotificationError to make this very explicit. If your error should inform the "user" from within the model, then you should use an explicit class which gives additional semantics (besides the human readable string) to it. So what I suggest is to replace `Object >> error:` with something like a GenericError or UndefinedError, to encourage the use of proper error classes.

Re: [Pharo-project] help about package naming conventions

by Mariano Martinez Peck

I never understood this. I remeber the problem when using "-" and Monticello gets stupid because it thinks it is a subcategory instead of a package, and gets the parent package dirty...

Comment #6 on issue 3817 by marianopeck: make Object >> error: deprecated http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3817 Your point of view, is .. only one point of view. If you check my code, you will see that sometimes, I reify an exception in a subclass of Error. This is because of the users of such code, do special handling for them. Nevertheless, a lot of times, I don't need this, and just throwing a generic error is enough.
