[Pharo-project] Cmd-q autocompletion?
by Guillermo Polito Jan. 13, 2012

Jan. 13, 2012

I've just realized that we have an autocompletion mechanism that is not OCompletion in the image, typing cmd-q. And also, it is just querying the Symbol table: selectorsFromPrefix: aPrefix "returns the value of labels from a selector prefix" | key applicants | aPrefix isEmptyOrNil ifTrue: [^ #()]. applicants := aPrefix first canBeGlobalVarInitial ifTrue: [Array streamContents: [:strm | Symbol allSymbolTablesDo: [:each | (each notEmpty and: [each first canBeGlobalVarInitial]) ifTrue: [strm nextPut: each]]]] ifFalse: [Array streamContents: [:strm | Symbol allSymbolTablesDo: [:each | (each notEmpty and: [each first canBeGlobalVarInitial not]) ifTrue: [strm nextPut: each]]]]. key := aPrefix asLowercase. ^ (applicants select: [:each | (each asLowercase beginsWith: key) and: [each noneSatisfy: [:c | c tokenish not]]]) sort Does anybody use it? Is it useful? Because I was loading OCompletion into 1.4 to see if it was working and I found that the 2 mechanisms live together... Guille

[Pharo-project] Problem with Arch Linux and Cog
by Robert Sirois Jan. 12, 2012

Jan. 12, 2012

I've been trying to work around this problem, but it can't be ignored now. I've also noticed that any exceptions thrown in the image cause a crash as well. Was there any solution, or is the solution to not use Arch Linux? Related to this thread: http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/pipermail/pharo-project/2010-September/033009.… Thanks,RS

[Pharo-project] Optimisation / Simplification ...
by James Ladd Jan. 12, 2012

Jan. 12, 2012

While implementing Redline Smalltalk it occurred to me that methods and blocks are the same things, making the use of blocks to represent methods a possible optimisation or simplification to the internal of any Smalltalk implementation. For example, at: key put: value <statements here> Is not that different to: at:put: [ :key :value | <statements here> ] Just saying.

[Pharo-project] [Zinc] ZnTooManyRedirects exception
by Jan van de Sandt Jan. 12, 2012

Jan. 12, 2012

Hello, I'm busy updating CloudforkSSO to use the latest version of the Zinc http client (ZnClient). Most of the required changes are pretty simple. But I have a problem with redirects. I cannot let ZnClient handle the redirects because I need to update the Authorization header. So I use the dontFollowRedirects option and proces the redirect myself. But now ZnClient signals a ZnTooManyRedirects exception when a redirect response is received. It seems more logical to me to just answer the response. Especially when the numberOfRetries option is greater than zero. It's no use retrying a request that answers a redirect. Is it possible to change ZnClient so that it doesn't signal a ZnTooManyRedirects when the maxNumberOfRedirects is zero? Jan. PS: For the rest I really like the simple but powerful interface of ZnClient!
