[Pharo-project] [ANN] Kiwi: BDD tool for Pharo
by Nahuel Garbezza Feb. 7, 2012

Feb. 7, 2012

Hi all, I started to work with this a few months ago. Kiwi is a Behaviour-Driven development tool, inspired on Cucumber (http://cukes.info) Here's the SqueakSource project url: http://ss3.gemstone.com/ss/Kiwi.html And here is a blog post explaning the basics of the tool: http://nahuelgarbezza.com.ar/2012/02/getting-started-with-kiwi/ Kiwi is still under development and I hope to get a stable release soon. Any feedback would be appreciated :) Thanks, Nahuel.

[Pharo-project] Building images
by Schwab,Wilhelm K Feb. 7, 2012

Feb. 7, 2012

Friends, I know it's not a popular position, but I consider Metacello to be poorly factored, unstable, and a bit confusing. How many times do we type things like: Gofer new squeaksource: 'Fuel'; package: 'ConfigurationOfFuel'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfFuel) load. This is concise, but it is also arguably syntactic sugar. I have been trying to condense the redundant information, and have been (trying to) capture the details in a tool I call Migrate. I have filed out the main class (attached). The idea is that one can save the Migrate package, load that into a new image, and quickly configure the new image. At least that's the plan. Of interest now are the helper-metacello methods. What do you think? I'm trying to help here... Bill

[Pharo-project] NBOpenGL error every third execution of example
by Lawson English Feb. 7, 2012

Feb. 7, 2012

When I do the following with the latest version of NBOpenGL, I get an error: FrameBuffer status: unk error on the third (4th?) evaluation of GLTTRenderingDemo new openInWorld. This happens whether or not another OpenGL example is open. The pattern repeats: 2-3 evaluations work and then the 3rd or 4th has an error. I have seen this error before but didn't realize how easy it was to replicate. Lawson

[Pharo-project] UDP Listener example?
by Eagle Offshore Feb. 6, 2012

Feb. 6, 2012

I'm trying to build a display for some instruments that multicast readings using UDP. I started out using CocoaAsyncSocket on Mac (https://github.com/robbiehanson/CocoaAsyncSocket) and I have to say it has a really wonderful api - would be worth cloning it. However, want to do the same thing in Pharo so I have typed this little snippet into the workspace: [| socket | socket := Socket newUDP. 10 timesRepeat: [| s | s := String new. socket receiveDataInto: s fromHost: (NetNameResolver addressFromString:'255.255.255.255' ) port: 4848. Transcript show: s.]] fork and it doesn't seem to do anything. What have I missed? Pharo 1.3 stable on SnowLeopard BTW. Thanks, -Todd Blanchard

[Pharo-project] Snapshot question
by Schwab,Wilhelm K Feb. 6, 2012

Feb. 6, 2012

I am getting some stalled installations, and hope to be able to snapshot my building image after each successful step (not going so well). With the 1.3 one-click, I can't break (control or alt . ???) something that's gone bad - is there a secret to getting that back? Re snapshotting the image, I tried #saveSession, but that seems to capturing a bit too much; if it was doing something stupid, it re-opens trying (unsuccessfully as before) to do the same thing, and I can't break out Is there a better way to save incremental progress?
