[Pharo-project] Issue 3015: When a test is restarted in the debugger, #tearDown and #setUp and not send
by Hernan Wilkinson Aug. 28, 2013

Aug. 28, 2013

Hi, I added a new issue (that I think it could be see as an improvement, not an issue) that is related to debugging a test case written with SUnit. The problem is that when you restart a test in the debugger (either by pressing the restart button or compiling the method again) the changes made by the test to the objects initialized in the #setUp are not rollbacked. This change sends the messages #tearDown and #setUp to the test when restarting it, therefore letting the test in the same state as when it was run in the first place. I uploaded the solution to this issue (or improvement) to pharo inbox under SLICE-Issue-3015-RestartingATestFromTheDebuggerSendsTearDownAndSetUp-HernanWilkinson.2 I hope you like it!

[Pharo-project] Spec DropLists
by Sean P. DeNigris April 16, 2013

April 16, 2013

Issue 6551: [ENH Spec]: Spec-ify DropListModel http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6551 Currently: self instantiateModels: #(dropList #DropListModel). item1 := DropListItem named: 'Red morph' do: self redMorphBlock. item2 := DropListItem named: 'Blue morph' do: self blueMorphBlock. item3 := DropListItem named: 'Green morph' do: self greenMorphBlock. dropList items: {item1. item2. item3}. I'd prefer if DropLists were uniform with the rest of Spec, namely: I'd have my domain class MyColor>>description ^ nameOfColor dropList items: {myRedColor. myBlueColor. myGreenColor}; displayBlock: [ :e | e description, ' morph' ]; whenSelectionChanged: [ :e | self showMorphFor: e ]. I'd prefer not to even know that DropListItem exists, and have the model take care of it for me. Something like: DropListModel>>items: aList "Populate the drop list with a list of objects" | items | items := aList collect: [ :e | DropListItem named: e printString do: [ ] ]. listHolder contents: items. Incidentally, #whenSelectionChanged: exists for DropListModels, but is broken. When an item is chosen from the drop list, the announcement received by this block has both new and old contents set to nil: Issue 6550: [BUG Spec]: DropListModel>>whenSelectionChanged: http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6550 Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Spec-DropLists-tp4643694.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Pharo-project] HMI (was: One more project proposal for GSoC)
by Dennis Schetinin March 30, 2013

March 30, 2013

So, here is the proposal: Name: Khubbatov Rustem Difficulty Level: Intermediate Description A framework for building Human-Machine Interfaces with Pharo back-end providing model, and presentation front-end in Amber. Technical Details A concrete task that should be implemented with this project is a prototype of UI for network management system or SCADA. Server-side (Pharo) will simulate network components and their data, and provide relevant events for client (Amber). The latter will present network items, their state and associated information, and provide UI to control them. An important part of this system is a communication layer between Amber and Pharo. Benefits for the Student The student will gain experience in building client-server applications with advanced UI and providing two-way communication between client and server. Benefits for the Community An ability to create highly interactive web-based applications is a must-have feature for any modern development system. Amber is a bleeding edge in this area in Smalltalk world. A good communication layer between Amber and (for example) Pharo is a very appealing decision for building complex client-server systems.

[Pharo-project] IMPORTANT: Issue 6351: FileReference>>deleteAll follows symlinks in 1.4
by Sean P. DeNigris March 12, 2013

March 12, 2013

This is a fun one to find out about by accident... Hey, what happened to my temporary variable names? Oh, they're decompiled because my image folder was deleted while deleting my home folder because the folder being deleted contained a symlink to it. Thank god for backups... and that it was deleting alphabetically, so mostly rarely-changed config files were deleted (i think/hope)... Pharo1.4 Latest update: #14448 '/path/to/dir' asFileReference deleteAll. * If the link is valid, it follows it and keeps deleting * If not, it claims the link file doesn't exist. http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6351 -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/IMPORTANT-Issue-6351-FileReference-deleteAll-follows-… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Pharo-project] [ann] glamorous debugger (alpha)
by Tudor Girba Feb. 13, 2013

Feb. 13, 2013

Hi, Over the last following days, Andrei Chis and me have worked on getting the Glamorous Debugger in a usable state (based on the original effort of Toon Verwaest): This debugger is part of the Glamorous Toolkit project, and it is based on Glamour (see the attached screenshots). You can find some details about it here: http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/announcing-the-glamorous-debugger-alp… Some interesting characteristics: - It has an integrated inspector that shows all variables in one GTInspector with which you can browse in place all relevant variables - Code-wise, the debugger comes with an explicit model that relies neither on the old Debugger nor on the CodeHolder. The model is rather small and intelligible. In total, the entire code totals some 400 lines of code (at the moment). To put it into perspective, the Debugger class has 1096 lines of code (not counting the extra code used by it). Right now, we consider the code to be in a solid alpha, and we need more eyeballs and clicks to test it :). If you are interested in playing with it, you can either find it in the Moose image, or you can load it in Pharo 1.4 via: Gofer new squeaksource: 'glamoroust'; package: 'ConfigurationOfGlamoroust'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfGlamoroust) loadDevelopment Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "No matter how many recipes we know, we still value a chef."

[Pharo-project] UI blocked
by Janko MivÅ¡ek Jan. 8, 2013

Jan. 8, 2013

Hi guys, My 1.3 #13299 image is blocked again, but just UI not responding to any input events, while Aida web app server is running smoothly in backrgound. >From Transcript I can see that last action was a new image backup procedure, which is done simply by : OSProcess waitForCommand: 'cp some.image some-bck.image'. This procedure is called from a background process and report to Transcript its start and end. Is there something wrong with that? Or is some interference with OSProcess semaphores? (I saw such suspicious thing once before). In any case, is there a way to unblock image now? Ctrl or Alt . doesn't help.

[Pharo-project] [ANN] NBOpenGL update
by Igor Stasenko Jan. 6, 2013

Jan. 6, 2013

Hi there, for those, who interested, i updated a NBOpenGL configuration. Changes are: - updated GL API to most recent available (taken directly from opengl specs). Now there is about 300 more methods to explore :) - finally dealt with win32 support code and made it working again - fixed the GLX function prefix , which should be 'glX' not 'glx' To load it in 1.4 use: Gofer new squeaksource: 'NBOpenGL'; package: 'ConfigurationOfNBOpenGL'; load. and then (ConfigurationOfNBOpenGL project version: '1.0.2') load I did not tested the update thoroughly.. so i would appreciate if people will try it out and tell how it goes. -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.
