Re: [Pharo-dev] Experiments in Code Typography

by kilon alios

I was thinking something very similar for my project Ephestos. I imagine a workspace so powerful that would replace system browser, inspector , explorer and even debugger. I was also imagining blocks like the ones shown in the link and code completion that would look inside the object to complete the code instead of the code completion we have now that many times fails to complete properly. Another thing that interests me is a natural language interface for example instead of typing "FileBrowser openPdf: 'my.pdf' " type instead 'open pdf my.pdf' , something that would create a database of such command that will be associated with pharo objects and methods. I think that could make pharo a very nice enviroment for people not interested into coding and instead they want a tool that they can use to manage their system with low learning curve. I am not promising anything , plus I am very slow with pharo at the moment being a new coder but what I say is that I am very interested and I will try to code something like this. I also like the graphical nature of Phratch and drag and droping etc commands without sacrificing typing.

You know I would like to have format as you type. if someone wants to work on that it would be great. The point is to have some heuristics to get as fast as possible a "complete" ast. And pretty print it for example each time a space is added. stef

Thanks Alexandre, this is interesting: I like the "intelligent" behavior of the code editor.

Contributions about Pharo and Moose

by Alain Rastoul

Hi all, This afternoon, my bike didn't start (the battery got weaker every day this week, no surprise), so I've put it in charge and decided to take a ride on the latest Pharo and Moose versions instead :) First I downloaded the latest Pharo 4 image, opened a Workspace and got an error clicking on the right arrow of the window to display the menu. I searched opened cases and saw issue 13865 (cleaning MenuMorph) and added a comment about the fix I am not a contributor to Pharo right now though I'm willing to, I believe I could do some minor cases like that one (I might have to check first with my employer about some intellectual property agreement I've signed in the past, but I guess no problem here). BTW I took a look at the video and slides 'how to contribute', opened and account on SmalltalkHub but didn't get the mail to confirm my registration right now. My first question is just a confirmation: I saw in the slides that to commit slices, one has to be given write access by asking in this mailing list ? (In this case, I will when everything is ok). Second question is about Moose : I tried to load the Moose development configuration in this Pharo4 image (I like to play Candid) and got small errors (big ones too, I guess Moose is on the way to move to Pharo4 and there is still some hard work) I'm wondering if fogbugz is the place to report Moose bugs ? And what about other packages like for example (two of the errors I had) ConfigurationOfPetitSQLParser or Hashtable-simon_denier.31 ? Most of the Moose related issues on fogbugz seems to be related to integration into Pharo, not to Moose development or to other packages ? Is there a fogbugz or other site for Moose or do we report Moose bugs in this list ? What about external packages ? What is the process in that case ? Thanks in advance for your answers Regards, Alain

Having some trouble on the Pharo Contributions CI

by Sven Van Caekenberghe

Hi, I seem to be having some trouble on the Pharo Contributions CI. I successfully created some projects before, but this time something strange is happening. It seems as if a win7 slave is doing the build instead of the linux slaves that I am used to. Has something changed ? I want to detect that I am running on the CI so that I can skip some tests that require resources not available there, but I fear the following won't work on Windows: runningOnInriaCI | platform ci | ^ [ platform := OSPlatform current. ci := platform environment at: #CI ifAbsent: [ '' ]. ci = 'ci.inria.fr' ] on: MessageNotUnderstood do: [ false ] What is the recommended way to use linux-only slaves ? Any other ideas ? Thanks, Sven

Re: [Pharo-dev] Glorp Login>>#encodingStrategy

by Sven Van Caekenberghe

OK, it seems that setting the encoding to #utf8 is needed when talking to a PG DB that has UTF8 encoding as well for non ASCII to work. Good.

But my point remains that unless you set encodingStrategy on Login to something you get an error when nil in converted to a Symbol (in #connectionArgsFromCurrentLogin:). Now, I set it to #default which does not exist as encoding and leads to no encoding at all. That seems to indicate that it is not needed, but I am not sure. > > Sven > > The before last line of #connectionArgsFromCurrentLogin: could be changed to > > aLogin encodingStrategy ifNotNil: [ :enc | connectionArgs clientEncoding: enc asSymbol ]. > >
