The Moldable Debugger - screencasts
by Andrei Chis Jan. 2, 2014

Jan. 2, 2014

Hi, I made two new screencasts showing a small domain-specific debugger for SUnit and one for PetitParser. https://vimeo.com/83017763 - SUnit https://vimeo.com/83017762 - PetitParser There is also an older one for announcements (https://vimeo.com/83020584) The debuggers were created using the GTDebugger a.k.a. the "moldable debugger" framework <http://scg.unibe.ch/research/moldabledebugger> Cheers, Andrei

Relation tower is coming for Roassal
by Alexandre Bergel Jan. 1, 2014

Jan. 1, 2014

Hi! A new builder for Roassal is comingâ¦ The goal of Relation tower is to easily visualize relations between group of elements. We had the inspiration from the following website http://peoplemov.in/#! Here are some screenshots: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.559114290841839.1073741837.340543… If you like these screenshots, then you know where the like button is :-) We will have this visualization on the web, thanks to our smooth and nice Pharo2Amber migration process. Any idea on how to extend/apply Relation tower? Any set of data you want us to play with? Your data? Feedback are very welcome! Cheers, Ricardo & Alexandre -- _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: Alexandre Bergel http://www.bergel.eu ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;.

Best wishes for 2014

Hi pharoers Sometimes I think that we are crazy to build this system but this is really important to have dreams and make them becoming true. :) I really like what we are doing: we are building a strong community and a really great system. Of course it could be better but it is going in the right direction at full speed. Now remember that Pharo is not ours but YOURS and you can get an impact! Pharo is not read-only. This year we got some nice and important changes. I think that in 2014 we will have some important improvements. We will have to finish what we started and build a solid ground for the next iteration. I really like our community because it pushes me forward and because my dreams are becoming reality :) I wish you a lot of success and health. Stef

Nautilus: Selection and Drag & Drop Redux

Hi Doru, I like very much how easy it is to modify and adapt these tools. The higher abstraction level provided by Glamour really pays off here. In the past week I also looked at Nautilus, MCWorkingCopyBrowser and the UiDesigner and the difference is shocking. Stephan

towards moose in the pharo ide (gtinspector / gtdebugger)
by Tudor Girba Dec. 31, 2013

Dec. 31, 2013

Hi, Some of you asked how the GTInspector and GTDebugger are different from the existing infrastructure. They are quite different from the norm in that: they are tiny, and they are highly extensible. Here are some posts that describe what makes them different: http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/the-moldable-gtinspector-deconstructe… http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/dissecting-the-gtinspector/ http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/extending-variables-shown-in-gtinspec… http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/moldable-gtdebugger These tools are already the default development tools in the Moose image. As you can see, Moose is reshaping the Pharo IDE. I think this is exciting. This should be just the beginning. To make it better, we need your energy: - Apply and extend these tools for your context (this is what makes them unique). - Tell us what works and what does not work. - Ideally, start working with us on this topic. In particular, I am looking for people that would like to spend some time working on Morphic widgets. It's your turn now. Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "Every thing has its own flow"

I took a look at the code in 30664. Changing view preference is already in the right-click menu on the repositories, and it is global. I *never* found it there before. Though it has something to do with repositories, putting it in the repositories menu is not helpful, as its context is not a single repository. The same problem exists with the package side, the sort methods don't belong in the context menu of individual packages. I'd suggest adding a dropdown-menu on a button in the searchfield-row for both the packages and the repositories, allowing the setting of all-package and all-repository properties. And of course removing the preference and moving it to the instance side. Stephan

Pavel do you remember when we hacked together at Prague some of your queries crashed systematically the VM. Which version were you using? I will try to provide a reproducible case for esteban and eliot. I have the impression that this is the same that tobias reported. Stef
