Weird issue with removing instance vars from class def: instance vars jumbled

I guess this has happened to other people. In Pharo 20 and while using Seaside, I was adding, removing , changing components which were making a component and it happened that if I had, let say: a b c d e f turned into a c f Well, c kind of pointed to a b in existing instances and f to old c etc; No matter how much I unregister and reregisted my app, this continued. I got out of the problem by filing out the code and filing it in back, which recomplied the whole component. Weird. I can understand that some existing bytecode wasn't updated when rearranging instvars but for someone new to the game, this would really be weird. Clues? Phil

unexpected lack of Method Version History (due to CI process?)
by btc＠openinworld.com Oct. 1, 2013

Oct. 1, 2013

In the process of reviewing a fix to an issue [1] that I reported with PharoLauncher, I downloaded the latest CI result and browsed to the method I knew had changed [2]. I wanted to directly observe the change in the version history, but was surprised that there was no version history for the method. My uninformed intuition is this relates to some 'clean up for release' run as part of the build process to strip out old versions to compact the image delivered by the CI process, but does it make sense to do this for every build? I can understand not wanting this to grow indefinitely to bloat the image - but perhaps this compaction would be better only for major releases? I guess the downside is that you are then not exercising the 'full release' process every build. However having in image Version History extending a fair way back in time has always seemed to me to be one of the very cool (i.e. useful features of Pharo/Smalltalk). Without this, it feels like 'something' has been lost. The ultimate solution would seem to be linking the method version history to a network resource for the full history only as required per method. Any chance anyone is working on something like that? cheers -ben [1] https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/11614 [2] PharoLauncher>>createImageFromTemplate
