Hi Laurent, Yes, something is wrong with SqueakSource and because it is better to wait for its R.I.P, here is a script to load a ToDo example anyway: Gofer new squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfAida'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfAida) load. Gofer new squeaksource: 'AidaAddons'; package: 'AidaToDoExample'; load. Thenks for reporting an issue. I updated description on webpage too.

I've seen projects where the set up and assertions are spread over multiple classes! Now I have to start chasing things through the implementors browser at the same time as looking at the test to figure out what's going on. Reinvented testing tools would be awesome (if you haven't tried Laurent's Autotest yet, it's a joy). I've been working on some test-specific tools that capture the domain better. I'd be glad to talk about it - just flag me down at ESUG. Although, if I understand Ring, I think the really magic will happen once it's ready and we can operate on the AST.

Re: [Pharo-project] Camp Smalltalk Edinburgh

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

I will give a lecture saturday but I can give some guidance for the sprint Yes there are plenty of tasks - fixing the edit problem when the system asks for a variable (alex wants to work on that) - making sure shout works - integrating FS (using it) we should load first the fixes made by camillo - building a new changesorter :) I started but got distracted - using Nautilus to give feedback to benjamin - removing reference to SourcedMethodReference and friends (veronica should add a better instance creation method on methodDefinition because I did most of the work and realized after that I was using the wrong api. - and we have a long time of open issue on the tracker On Aug 19, 2011, at 9:55 PM, Michael Roberts wrote: > Hi, just wondering if there were any pharoers at Camp Smalltalk this > weekend?

Nicolas This is a good question and we experimenting to find the right answer. We should have less as possible reference to classes. So that we can replace them easily. The experience changing Transcript was not really a good illustration of that point because Transcript is a global and since the class binding is shared in compile methods normally we would not have to recompile everything, but still. Now more generally I like the idea of newspeak that we could get the notion of from this module we pick and access only what we use. Stef

[Pharo-project] Faster UI style?

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

Hi is it me or the style of squeak looks faster than the one of pharo? Do you know if there were special optimisation beside the style or this is just the rounding and other niceties of Pharo look that make it slower? Stef
