Yes - just load "PharoOnlineHelp" from Tools -> Configuration Browser in Pharo 2.0 Start the server in the panel when it is loaded and point your browser to localhost:8080 There it is! Anyone able to host this? Have fun T. [1] http://astares.blogspot.de/2013/02/pharo-online-help-with-markdown-support.…

[Pharo-project] Glorp, PSQL in Pharo 2.0
by Dennis Schenk March 19, 2013

March 19, 2013

Hi all, I downloaded a Pharo 2.0 image and wanted to connect my local PostgreSQL database. For Pharo 1.4 I used *Gofer new * * squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository';* * package: 'ConfigurationOfGlorpDBX';* * load. * *ConfigurationOfGlorpDBX project latestVersion load: 'GlorpPostgresV2NativeWithTests* and went from there. First I tried doing the same in Pharo 2.0, but that "ended" in a endless loop. So I loaded the packages found here: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~DBXTalk/Glorp/ I then tried to connect to my database in the following way: *login := Login new* * database: PostgreSQLPlatform new;* * username: 'user';* * password: 'pwd';* * host: 'localhost';* * databaseName: 'db-name'.* *accessor := PharoDatabaseAccessor forLogin: login.* *accessor login.* But I got an error: *receiver of new is nil * in: *PharoDatabaseAccessor>>**loginIfError: aBlock * * self log: 'Login'.* * self databaseDriver: self connectionClass new.* *...* Whats would be the correct way to connect and use a psql db from Pharo 2.0? Cheers, Dennis

The problem is that VM does not raise events for every key pressed.. And those that does not work are for example ctrl, cmd, shift... Try modifying the following method: signalEvent: eventBuffer "Signal the event buffer to all registered event handlers. Handlers need make sure to copy the buffer or extract the data otherwise, as the buffer will be reused." --> Transcript show: eventBuffer asString;cr. self eventHandlers do: [:handler | handler handleEvent: eventBuffer] Add the remarked line, open a transcript and press ctrl alone. It is impossible to know right now if ctrl is being pressed or not by itself :(. > Let me explain: modes are (hidden) states in the system that influence how > it interprets inputs.

(an account would be great) There are many reasons to also want to have CI locally, from private projects to working in the train to depending on software not installed on the community server to having the fastest feedback cycle possible.

[Pharo-project] Eating our own dogfood: New VM
by Camillo Bruni March 19, 2013

March 19, 2013

I caught myself already last week not using the new VMs from http://files.pharo.org/vm/pharo It would be nice if you could discard the old cogVMs and use the new builds from our build server. AFAIK Esteban has been the only one in our team that did this :P
