MongoTalk: new place on smalltalkhub
by FranÃ§ois Stephany July 23, 2015

July 23, 2015

Hi, I've just created a new team for MongoTalk on SmalltalkHub: http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~MongoTalkTeam The old repo (http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~francois/MongoTalk) will stay just in case some scripts rely on it but you should update to the new repo: http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~MongoTalkTeam/mongotalk I've created a version 1.5.1 in the Metacello configuration to reflect the repo migration. Shout at me if I missed something! Cheers, Fa (Many thanks to Norbert for pushing the migration ;)

RBEnvironments allClasses/Traits/Meta ...
by Nicolai Hess June 27, 2015

June 27, 2015

Hi, some time ago Yuriy cleaned up the RBBrowserEnvironment methods for allClassesAndTraits(Do), classesDo, .... The fix was good and necessary (I think). But they had an impact on some SmallLint-rules (they arent applied on the class side) and the behavior for the different Environments changed (compared with Pharo3 (-> 14621 <https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?14621> Some RBBrowserEnvironments don't work well with Metaclasses)) As some SmallLint-rules need to iterate over the metaclasses as well and I don't want to revert Yuriys change, I 'll add another method that collect classes and metaclasses. So, I need some help, how to name this methods: all classes (Object, Integer, ....) -> allClasses, ok all classes and metaclasses (Object, Object class, Integer class ) -> ? allBehaviors? all classes and traits -> allClassesAndTraits, ok all classes and meta classes and traits and class traits -> ? no idea! all metaclasses and class traits -> allMeta(ClassesAndTraits) ? I don't know if we need this One problem with "allBehaviors" is, SystemNavigation uses allBehaviors to iterate over classes, metaclasses, traits and class traits, allthough a Trait is not a Behavior. (TClass isBehavior -> false) feedback is welcome nicolai

Collecting user data
by Yuriy Tymchuk June 23, 2015

June 23, 2015

Hi guys, from time to time we have to collect a usage data in order to improve our tools. For example Iâd like to collect data in future about how do you treat code critics: do they occur, do you outfox them, do you mark them as false positives? If we had answers to these questions, we could really make good and helpful critics. For now I know that there are 3 projects which collect data: - GTSpotter - Shoreline - DFlow (not in image by default). Should I make 4th data collection for QualityAssistant? Or maybe we can do some unification? Cheers! Uko

untypeable key combination
by Nicolai Hess June 2, 2015

June 2, 2015

We have a class KMUntypeableSingleKeyCombination this is used for key kombinations with tab arrow backspace .... This is useful for printing key kombinations like Ctrl+TAB "space" does not use the KMUntypeableSingleKeyCombination class, therefore a short cut like Character space shift asKeyCombination looks like " Shift + " shouldn't space use this class? And I find the name a little bit misleading, what is a untypeable key? The key is typeable, otherwise we couldn't use it. Renaming the class to KMUnprintableSingleKeyCombination isn't better, because we can print this keycombination. nicolai

ctrl+a is seen as ctrl+home windows
by Tudor Girba May 31, 2015

May 31, 2015

Hi, I am on Windows, using Pharo 3.0, and I am trying to get the keybindings to work in Rubric using Windows convention (so, Ctrl instead of Cmd as a modifier), It worked reasonably well, but the problem is that somehow Ctrl+a is mapped to Ctrl+Home. The problem is not specific to Rubric as I can detect the same behavior in the regular PluggableTextMorph. Does anyone have an idea of where the problem comes from?

Differences between TextConverters and ZnEncoders
by Guillermo Polito May 9, 2015

May 9, 2015

Hi! I'm struggling with the TextConverter's API in Pharo :). I wanted to test the converters in Pharo, and I found the method #convertFromSystemString: that should (from its name) convert a Pharo String into an encoded version of it. (UTF8TextConverter default convertFromSystemString: 'Ã¡'). Funny thing, it does not do that. It does the opposite: it tries to convert an encoded string to a pharo string. And so it fails. Of course, its symmetrical version does what I want and behaves as the ZnUTF8Encoder :) (UTF8TextConverter default convertToSystemString: 'Ã¡') asByteArray "#[195 161]" ZnUTF8Encoder new encodeString: 'Ã¡' "#[195 161]" Question: - does the convertTo/From methods makes sense to you or It's just me that sees them inverted? - does it make sense to have the two versions of converters? Zn and the TextConverters do the same in my opinion (or maybe I'm confused :) ) Guille

I miss the configuration of NeoCSV in the configuration browser of Pharo 4. Is there any reason for the lack of it? NeoJSON is available, thoughâ¦ Regards Andreas
