[Issue tracker] cleanup needed
by Marcus Denker Jan. 18, 2014

Jan. 18, 2014

Please everyone: https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/filters/33/All-by-project => check the issues you submitted. Maybe the bug is already fixed? => if you contributed to a discussion, please check if you can help now to push the issue forward Keep in mind that => issue tracker entries need to be *actionable*. There needs to be a doable ânext actionâ, else it makes no sense. => this means it is not *your* personal TODO list. => it is not a wish list. âIt would be nice ifâ, I could add indefinite entries like that => âthis method looks storageâ is not an issue entry, either. There is *a lot* of bad code in the image. ==> only submit those if there a chance that the entry will lead to action. ==> if you submitted a slice and the automatic check found a problem, who do you think will do the next iteration? (if you will not, add a note that you wonât) => Check issues assigned to you. Will you work on them? If not â> do not assign to you. Marcus

subscriptOutOfBounds: 1 in NECInstVarTypeGuesser in Pharo 30677
by Pharo4Stef Jan. 18, 2014

Jan. 18, 2014

No idea how to reproduce it. computeVarType | info tempNames name | types ifEmpty: [ ^ nil ]. info := types first. (hasSend and: [ info isDefinedByMessageSend not ]) ifTrue: [ info type: nil. ^ info ]. info isDefinedByTemporary ifFalse: [ ^ info ]. tempNames := (receiverClass compiler parse: currentMethod sourceCode) tempNames. ^^^^^^^^^^^^ #() so the rest breaks. name := tempNames at: info temporaryOffset + 1. info type: (self class getClassFromTypeSuggestingName: name). ^ info

different execution result debugger vs. 'normal run'
by Johan Brichau Jan. 18, 2014

Jan. 18, 2014

Hi there, In the process of porting our work to Pharo3, I encounter a bug where the execution in the debugger works correctly but not outside of it. It consistently occurs in a testcase of our code, across different images running Pharo 30700 and latest stable vm om mac (26 dec) as well as an older vm (6 sep). Since it's difficult to create a separate public test for this to recreate the problem, how do we go about this? cheers, Johan

ScreencastMorph
by DeNigris Sean Jan. 17, 2014

Jan. 17, 2014

I'm working on a ScreencastMorph. The idea is to have something like what HandMorphForReplay does, but in a self contained window. The effect would be that there was another World running in a window, where the HandMorphForReplay could carry out a UI script that could be played, sped up, slowed down, rewound - all the actions you would except from a media player. Unfortunately, starting a World in a window does not seem easy. Most of the time I try it or manually mess with HandMorphs, my image locks up permanently. I've also had trouble getting the tool to resize. I tried Window -> TransformationMorph -> PasteUpMorph -> MyCoolToolWindow. That seems promising - although I have to open the tool in the world before embedding in the PasteUpMorph. The tool will resize and even interact for a while, but eventually that too seems to lock up the image. Any ideas? Thanks, Sean p.s. cross-posting to Squeak-dev and Pharo-dev. If I get it working, I plan on porting to both. p.p.s. I'm posting to the dev lists because I see clear killer uses for this in the Core system (UI Testing, live documentation)

http://association.pharo.org/web/weekly
by Pharo4Stef Jan. 17, 2014

Jan. 17, 2014

Hi guys I started a blog http://association.pharo.org/web/weekly Why yet another blog? I got exhausted, sick, and I had to stop reading mails and other computer activities. Then after a couple of weeks (well Iâm addict so these are days) not reading mails about Pharo I realise that there is no condensed information where you are not forced to read hundreds of mails to know what is happening. Since I need to cure myself and relax, I decided that I will batch my Pharo email reading (Yes I can) and I will extract blog entries because emails vanished under their own stream. They will not be polished but you will find information about our crazy moving fast community. And I hope that you will enjoy it. StÃ©phane http://stephane.ducassse.free.fr
