Seaside Continuous Integration on ci.inria.fr
by Philippe Marschall Sept. 17, 2013

Sept. 17, 2013

Hi This is a short write up on the state of Seaside on ci.inria.fr. After a week of work we have Metacello based builds running green at ci.inria.fr. Grease 1.0 and 1.1 are green on both Pharo 2.0 and 3.0 [1]. Updating Pier 3 to use the latest Grease 1.0 should fix the Pier 3 build. For Seaside 3.x we load the Metacello group 'CI' and run the tests in the packages matching the following regex ((Seaside)|(Comet)|(Javascript)|(RSS)|(JQuery)|(Prototype)|(Scriptaculous))-.*. Currently we have no way of running SLint/Slime and fake Checkstyle like in [3]. If anybody knows how to do with please let us know. There are still some issues with file library in Pharo 3.0 and Seaside 3.0. They are only fixed in Seaside 3.1. Please try to keep the build green, otherwise we'll get spammed with emails. Currently we keep all the build (5GB already). Do we really need this?

Annotating classes
by Torsten Bergmann Sept. 16, 2013

Sept. 16, 2013

We can mark methods with pragmas and ask the pragma collector to give the methods marked with it. Do we (already) have some kind of pragma like mechanism to annotate classes? I mean a general mechanism that one can use to mark classes with pragmas/settings/ ...? There are various scenarios where this might be useful: - an ORM mapper would like to associate a persistence class with a table name - an NBExternalStructure subclass wrapping a structure can be annotated with the original struct name - ... Thx T.

Windows VM crash with Autotest package
by Torsten Bergmann Sept. 16, 2013

Sept. 16, 2013

>could you try with the latest vm? http://files.pharo.org/vm/pharo/win/latest.zip >looks like a jit bug. Yes - it works with the latest VM without any problem. How can the package http://files.pharo.org/platform/Pharo2.0-win.zip get updated with it so others will not get the same problem when using Pharo 2.0? Thx T.

Completion again ...
by Igor Stasenko Sept. 16, 2013

Sept. 16, 2013

trying to fix completion autopopups when there is nothing to suggest to prevent popping up the empty and useless menu, i stumbled upon this: initializeInstVars (clazz isNil or: [ includeVariables not ]) ifTrue: [ ^ self ]. instVars := clazz allInstVarNames asSortedCollection. instVars := instVars collect: [ :each | NECInstVarEntry contents: each type: #instVar ]. instVars add: (NECSelfEntry contents: 'self' type: #self). instVars add: (NECSuperEntry contents: 'super' type: #super) there's something sick with that.. first we using NECSelfEntry but then, if that's not enough, we pass 'self' as its contents.. but that's also not enough! we pass 'self' as its type as well.. checking many subclasses of NECEntry and how they initialized, it is almost every time the same: - you use NECXXXXEntry , we always pass separate #XXXX as its type like just using NECXXXXEntry not enough to indicate that. i going to fix that as well -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.

Naming of Global Session
by Torsten Bergmann Sept. 16, 2013

Sept. 16, 2013

In Pharo 3.0 there is a new class "Session" - to represent the current smalltalk session. Using the term "Session" is very abstract. IMHO I would rather like to see it named more specific like "ImageSession", "PharoSession" or "SmalltalkSession" before it get used too much. Any comments? T.
