[Pharo-project] squeaksource is down - a different perspective
by Torsten Bergmann May 2, 2011

May 2, 2011

>squeaksource.com is down a lot. People get frustrated at times. Yes, and unfortunately it looks like people love to be frustrated. Otherwise people would give Tobias more feedback on SqueakSource3 (see [1]) which IMHO could overtake the job in the future and replace the problematic image? Or is the outage a traffic problem and may happen with SS3 too? Is the (daily?) restart the only option we have or is a migration to a newer SS version possible? And yes - SmalltalkHub is on the way, but we still dont know how well it fits our needs/works/scales. Yes, this sounds negative but I think it can replace Squeaksource only in a long term... Bye T.

[Pharo-project] Don't you think "Windows" menu item should be with the rest?
by Mariano Martinez Peck May 2, 2011

May 2, 2011

Right now, there is a special section for "Windows", but I think it is easier if it is together with Help, System, Tools, etc. I attach a screenshot. In addition, it changed the order in compare with Pharo 1.2 where it was: Tools Windows System Help What do you tink ? -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

[Pharo-project] Best strategy for ConfigurationOfPharo using #stable
by Mariano Martinez Peck May 1, 2011

May 1, 2011

Hi Dale. For Pharo 1.3 I want to (try) to use all #stable, i.e, I want that ConfigurationOfPharo doesn't explicitly load a specific version of every project but instead, the #stable. First step I need to do (I will try to do it during the weekend) is to update #stable in each of the ConfigurationOf used by ConfuigurationOfPharo. That's an easy part. Now, my question is...I don't really understand how the confs would look like after. I mean, 99% of the cases (in fact, at the beginning it will be 100% until I find a problem), the version I use will be #stable. So,the version of ConfgiruationOfPharo AND all the Configurations used by ConfgiruationOfPharo would look something like this: spec project: 'Autotest' with: #stable; project: 'Autotest Help Tests' with: #stable; project: 'MemoryMonitor' with: #stable; project: 'XMLSupport' with: #stable; I mean...every single project reference will have #stable instead of a specific version. So...is this expected? is this the way I should do it ? Finally...is there a query I can do to Metacello saying "which are the ConfigurationsOf needed for this version for this group of this Conf" ? Thanks -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

[Pharo-project] I am the only one who finds #assert:equals: oppostite to expected?
by Mariano Martinez Peck May 1, 2011

May 1, 2011

Hi guys. I always code my tests something like this: testBlah | universalAnswer | universalAnswer := 30. universalAnswer := universalAnswer + 11. self assert: universalAnswer equals: 42. In this case, 42 is the "expected" and "universalAnswer" is the "actual" value. I feel weird writing like this: self assert: 42 equals: universalAnswer. I don't know why...but I do..the same as when doing should: [] raise: Error. In that case you put the "actual" first and the "expected" at the end... ok....the "problem" is that assert:equals: is in fact: asserts: expected equals: actual instead of asserts: actual equals: expected So, with my test I would receive a description in the debugger that says "'Expected 41 but was 42.'" which is completely the opposite. Of course, if I write my tests in the way I don't like, that is: self assert: 42 equals: universalAnswer. then i got the correct message "'Expected 42 but was 41.'" I don't pretend pharo change this because I guess it is standard, and blah blah blah. But senders of #assert:equals: should both, some written as mine (so the message is incorrect for them) and some correct. In addition, I think it is a problem of the selector name. If we could make it clearer, the won't be necessary to confuse "actual" with "expected". Cheers -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

[Pharo-project] HelpBrowser takes too much time to open
by Mariano Martinez Peck May 1, 2011

May 1, 2011

MessageTally time: [HelpBrowser open] between 2 seconds in Cog and with a regular VM between 6 and 8.... is there an easy way to improve it ? Alexandre, do you want another place where to put a cache like Metacello's currentVersion? ;) Cheers -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

[Pharo-project] Zinc problems found
by Esteban Lorenzano May 1, 2011

May 1, 2011

Hi, I found some problems on Zinc implementation. Take this example: HTTPSocket httpGetDocument: 'http://127.0.0.1:333/analytics/feeds/accounts/default' args: (Dictionary new at: 'prettyprint' put: #('true'); yourself) accept: '*/*' request: ('Authorization: GoogleLogin Auth={1}{2}' format: {self authenticationKey. String crlf} this, if I have the correct authentication key, gives me the correct answer (an atom-xml response). Now, if I try: ZnHTTPSocketFacade httpGetDocument: 'http://127.0.0.1:333/analytics/feeds/accounts/default' args: (Dictionary new at: 'prettyprint' put: #('true'); yourself) accept: '*/*' request: ('Authorization: GoogleLogin Auth={1}{2}' format: {self authenticationKey. String crlf} (this should work, as the facade is for compatibility, I think) I have two errors, one of them easily solvable, and the other... well... I couldn't solve it in the 15' I spent on it :) 1) arguments are not in the correct way. While HTTPSocket functions expect something like this: Dictionary new at: 'prettyprint' put: #('true'); "<-- Parameter is an array" yourself. ZnHTTPSocketFacade expects something like this: Dictionary new at: 'prettyprint' put: 'true'; "<-- Parameter is a string" yourself. 2) This is the hard one. If you do the get request with parameter fixed, you should get the atom feed. But you don't. You get a ZnResponse who is OK (status 200), but entity is empty. I followed the error until this method: canReadContent ^ self hasContentLength or: [ self isChunked or: [ self allowsReadingUpToEnd ] ] who return false, because none of the questions is true. Then, no entity is filled, and I have no answer :( Hope this help :) Cheers, Esteban

According to v 1.3, ParagraphEditor is deprecated (Deprecated13 package). You should hunt around for some other class to use in section 3.5 instead of ParagraphEditor. :dae

[Pharo-project] squeaksource Seaside30 repo out of sync
by Yanni Chiu April 30, 2011

April 30, 2011

When I look at the latest version of Seaside-Tests-Core at squeaksource.com, and when I look at the repo in-image in a Metacello browser, the latest version is: Seaside-Tests-Core-lr.219 However, version 305 of ConfigurationOfSeaside30 lists the version as: Seaside-Tests-Core-as.220 I cannot see the "as.220" version. Also, the build at http://jenkins.lukas-renggli.ch/job/Seaside%203.0/ seems to have picked up the "as.220" version. But I don't see ConfigurationOfSeaside30 being used to build that image. Does anyone else see the same thing, or know what's going on?
