[ANN] Quality Assistant: live code critics feedback
by Yuriy Tymchuk March 27, 2015

March 27, 2015

Dear Pharo developers, As you already know I am working on providing better code quality support in Pharo. You can use Code Critics in Pharo to detect bad practices and potential bugs. But launching the Critics Browser and running it on your code every now and then requires additional effort which demotivates many people in doing it. I want to present you a compact tool called Quality Assistant https://github.com/Uko/QualityAssistant#quality-assistant-ððð¡ð- It runs SmallLint rules on the code that you save and provides you with a critic feedback directly in the place where you code: the Nautilus Browser. Quality Assistant is available for Pharo 4 from the Configuration browser. Please read about how to set it up here: https://github.com/Uko/QualityAssistant#set-up I plan to introduce more features in the future and your feedback is much appreciated. Cheers! Uko

Remove submorph's halo when parent morph is removed from world
by Aliaksei Syrel March 27, 2015

March 27, 2015

Hi, Do you hate an issue when halo is not removed when parent morph is deleted from the world and halo stays around nothing? If you take a look at implementation of Morph>>removeHalo removeHalo > "remove the surrounding halo (if any)" > self halo ifNotNil: [self primaryHand removeHalo] You will see that it removes halo from primary hand. But before it checks if halo associated to the morph is not nil. This check is rather costly, so instead of it maybe it would make sense to ask hand to try to remove halo from morph? The idea is that hand knows about halo and halo knows about target morph. It means that primaryHand could remove halo around the morph much faster than it happens now. With this improvement it will be cheap to remove halo around the morph when parent morph is deleted from the world. What do you think?

Duration year
by Hilaire March 26, 2015

March 26, 2015

I saw some discussion about Duration and year calculus in the list Given that it is impossible to determine the number of days in a year without the calendar years, should not 365.25 be used in place of 365 to minimize the error ? So it could look like: Duration class >> years: aNumber ^ self days: (aNumber * 365.25) truncated seconds: 0 Hilaire -- Dr. Geo - http://drgeo.eu iStoa - http://istoa.drgeo.eu

Update question
by Norbert Hartl March 26, 2015

March 26, 2015

Today I wanted (again) to update my image and it can't find GT packages. So I'm interested how the community deals with that. Do you take fresh downloaded images regularly? Or you do not update? Is it just me? thanks, Norbert

Some Memory Leak
by Sven Van Caekenberghe March 26, 2015

March 26, 2015

Hi, There seems to be some kind of memory leak in recent Pharo 4.0 images. Image size (as saved on disk) seems to be growing very rapidly under normal use (development with Nautilus, Spotter, GTPlayground, GTInspector and Monticello, debugging). Numbers go from the initial 20Mb to 100s of Mb and they seem to increase constantly, over a period of days. One way to look at memory use is with SpaceTally printSpaceAnalysis but that takes a while. Please help us find and fix this issue. Thanks, Sven

PharoLauncher: Great Tool, Confusing Name
by Sean P. DeNigris March 26, 2015

March 26, 2015

PharoLauncher is cool!! Once I realized I could specify the image folder with "PhLDirectoryBasedImageRepository location: aFileReference", I was very happy (I won't start the "images don't belong in ApplicationSupport thread again, promise ;)). There is however one thing that I think could be very confusing... the build artifact is called "Pharo_0.2.4.dmg". Now I understand the rationale that for a new user we are trying for "PharoLauncher = Pharo", but even I was a little confused seeing version 0.2.4. Since it's only an installer, if we really need its version number in the artifact, how about "Pharo_Installer_0.2.4.dmg" or even the more verbose but perhaps clearer "Pharo_4.0_ Installer_0.2.4.dmg"? The application ultimately gets installed as "Pharo" anyway. Some cool things: - the fullscreen UI is neat - dropping down into developer mode is seemless and works well One other suggestion: I'm sure this must have been brought up before, but it seems to download a fresh image every time (e.g. even if two images are created from the same template within a few seconds). It seems like it should be possible to do some caching here... ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/PharoLauncher-Great-Tool-Confusing-Name-tp4813698.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Making Seaside work in Pharo 4
by Stephan Eggermont March 26, 2015

March 26, 2015

In Issue 13739, build 40145 classesInTheSelectedPackage in Nautilus was removed. What is the correct way to replace it? WABrowser uses a nautilus browser to show a web-based browser. (build 609, Seaside #'release3.1' pharo4, from ci) WABrowserTest>>testContentsNotifying | model | model := WABrowser browserClass new. model systemCategoryListIndex: (model systemCategoryList indexOf: 'Seaside-Tests-Pharo-Development'). model classListIndex: (model classList indexOf: #WABrowserTest). model messageCategoryListIndex: (model messageCategoryList indexOf: #'-- all --'). [ self assert: (model contents: 'sampleMethod ^ 1 + 1' notifying: self). self assert: message isNil ] ensure: [ WABrowserTest removeSelectorSilently: #sampleMethod ] Stephan
