[Pharo-project] Convention to build cmd-line interfaces with Pharo?
by Stefan Marr May 17, 2011

May 17, 2011

Hi: Is there any convention/standard approach to build nice cmd-line interfaces with Pharo? The first road block I encountered is the assumption that the first argument to the image on the command line is a document/script. Which fires an exception if it is not actually a loadable document. I did not see any way to disable that other than to deinstall Autostart (Autostart>>deinstall). That is fine for me, but might have unintended consequences. The ProjectLauncher>>startUpAfterLogin is the actual place where that assumption is hard coded. And, well, I don't know what the consequences are of disabling Autostart and as a consequence ProjectLauncher. So, are there other ways to get to a clean command-line interface? What I want eventually is the following: $ squeak-vm.sh Pharo-1.2.image --help SMark Benchmark Framework, version: SMark-StefanMarr.12 Usage: <vm+image> SMarkHarness [runner] [reporter] <suiteOrBenchmark> [iterations [processes [problemSize]]] Arguments: runner optional, a SMarkRunner class that executes the benchmarks reporter optional, a SMarkReporter class that processes and displays the results suiteOrBenchmark required, either a SMarkSuite with benchmarks, or a benchmark denoted by Suite.benchName iterations optional, number of times the benchmarks are repeated processes optional, number of processes/threads used by the benchmarks problemSize optional, depending on benchmark for instance number of inner iterations or size of used data set Bye the way, Squeak 4.1 exhibits the same behavior, but I did not notice anything alike in our 3.9 image, there is works just fine.

[Pharo-project] Zinc in PharoDev (was Re: XML maintainer???)
by GermÃ¡n Arduino May 17, 2011

May 17, 2011

Hi: I saw in your image that Zinc is already loaded. It will be at this way in the images from now? I'm asking because I must decide what path take with XMLRPC. If Zinc will be the default to use, I will adapt xmlrpc to work with Zn. I know that xmlrpc is not heavily used but still I think is cool having the tools in the image to expose an easy and straightforward API. I wait comments. Cheers.

From you now, from Alexandre Bergel, from Henrik Johansen, etc. But no one (or maybe I didn't see it) give a list of the real existent MessageTally limitations or problems. So far, the only thing I read is what Eliot says here: "show primitives quite accurately" So...which are the rest and what is solved by the SystemProfiler from OpenQwaq ??

[Pharo-project] Write accentuate characters in file
by Adrien BARREAU May 16, 2011

May 16, 2011

Hello, A small question I have: how can I write a "Ã©" character in a file and >really< get it in Mac OS? I tried with: FileStream newFileNamed: 'test.txt' do: [ :each | each nextPutAll: 'Ã©Ã©Ã©' ] and got: 'âÂ©âÂ©âÂ©'. I also tried with FileSystem and got : 'ÃÃÃ'. I do not see another way to do that ... Regards, Adrien.
