I would crete a rewriter for each case, instantiate a RBNamespace, iterate over all methods within, and apply the rewriters if necessary, then review the changeset, and apply it.

[Pharo-project] what's the standard way of finding out from Smalltalk if one is running headless?

by Eliot Miranda

I thought to test things like Display extent & DisplayScreen actualScreenDepth but these either fall back to values in the pre-headless image or don't fail and answer the actual display depth, even though the VM is running headless (at least on Mac they do). -- best, Eliot

Re: [Pharo-project] opening a text in a window

by Max Leske

Don't know if this helps: The workspace used by the help system to interactively edit the help texts allows deactivation of the syntax highlighting via the menu in the top right corner of the workspace.

Re: [Pharo-project] The Keys to the Kingdom

by Dennis Schetinin

"Pure" TDD (or, BDD as it's reincarnation) makes tests a documentation automatically. Unfortunately, it's not easy to find TDD examples in Smalltalk (nearly all, not just Pharo) code. Not to say, this approach would resolve a lot of other problems, if adopted just a bit widerâ¦ Just complaining :) 2011/8/31 Sean P.
