New methods for the String class
by Daniela Meneses July 31, 2015

July 31, 2015

Hi to all, As you may know I'm working on in some improvements for the String class. Until now I implemented some missing tests. Right now I'm looking forward to add new methods that could be useful based on Ruby API ( http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-2.1.0/String.html) These are a few of the methods that I'm planning to implement: - chomp(separator=$/) -> new_str - chop() -> new_str - ljust(integer, padstr='') ->new_str - next -> new_str - partition(sep) -> [head, sep, tail] Could you help to find out if these methods are already available for the String class? If you have any idea of new methods for the string class, will be really welcome. -- Cheers , Daniela Meneses

About "compileSilently"
by Nicolai Hess July 29, 2015

July 29, 2015

How silent should "compileSilently" be? no trace in the system : 15314 <https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?15314> compileSilently and method history / changes file not half silenlty 13023 <https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?13023> Test Cases should not do things half silently not "SystemAnnouncer-silent" 10560 <https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?10560> SystemAnnouncer and compileSilently ? What do you think, what granularity of "silent" do we need. I see at least three different use cases: - just an ordinary compile - compile for tests - compile autogenerated methods. nicolai

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 ;)

Probably Metacello sucksâ¦
by Yuriy Tymchuk July 8, 2015

July 8, 2015

Hi, this is an observation on usage of Metacello. I guess that metacello is too complicated to be used. For example I was using the `jenkins` version of Woden configuration, but now itâs broken. And when you look at the Woden repo[1] it says that the way to load it is: Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'PharoExtras' project: 'NBOpenGL'; package: 'ConfigurationOfNBOpenGL'; load. ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfNBOpenGL) project version: '3.0') load. Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'Pharo' project: 'OSWindow'; package: 'ConfigurationOfOSWindow'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfOSWindow) loadBleedingEdge. Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'ronsaldo' project: 'Woden'; package: 'ConfigurationOfWoden'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfWoden) loadBleedingEdge Maybe instead of depending on the configuration of Woden, and saying that to load my project, people should just use a stable version of my configuration, I should copy the script from Woden repo, add some more lines to load the other projects I depend on and ask people to run a half page script in order to use my tools? What do you think? it looks like an easier solution. Uko [1]: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~ronsaldo/Woden

On Missing Class: Why not describe error?
by Sean P. DeNigris July 7, 2015

July 7, 2015

Current implementation: MethodDeclaration>>#handleMissingBehavior "self error: ('Cannot install method in unexistent behavior {1}' format: {(behaviorName asString)})" (MissingClassError className: behaviorName asString) signal Any reason not to make it: MethodDeclaration>>#handleMissingBehavior (MissingClassError className: behaviorName asString) signal: 'Cannot install method in unexistent behavior', behaviorName asString ? It seems so obvious that I'm sure I must be missing something important! ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/On-Missing-Class-Why-not-describe-error-tp4825681.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

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

About TextStyle and StrikeFonts
by Nicolai Hess June 15, 2015

June 15, 2015

I am about to fix some issues related to TextMorphs and fonts: 15402 <https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?15402> wrong choose list from TextMorph editor halo 15552 <https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?15552> chooseStyle halo from TextMorph lists only one StrikeFont 15553 <https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?15553> choose Font halo from TextMorph lists only one StrikeFont But I have some questions: TextStyle and fonts, this is bound to StrikeFonts for now, because only StrikeFonts register themself at "TextSharedInformation" and therefore: TextStyle actualTextStyles -> only lists the one Font "Bitmap DejaVu Sans". There are other places that work with TextStyle default / TextStyle .... Should I add the FreeType fonts to TextStyles TextSharedInformation or should I use "LogicalFontManager allFamilies" instead of "TextStyle actualTextStyles"`? I would like to remove/cleanup all places where we use some TextStyle methods that only work for StrikeFonts, but I don't know what was the idea behind this current state, that only works partly. Remove and Replace TextStyle with LogicalFontManager or use TextStyle for Strike and FreeType fonts? thanks in advance nicolai

shortcut change in pharo 50075
by Nicolai Hess June 10, 2015

June 10, 2015

in pharo 50075 some shortcuts are removed (issue 15630 <https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?15630> Remove duplicate shortcut definition (TextEditors actionMap vs KM)) This is by intention. They were defined in text editors action maps and with the Keymapping framework (pragma keymap). Those were defined with two different "command"-keys (alt and ctrl). This change is not yet visible, although I defined a postload you will see the change only after TextEditor/SmalltalkEditior initialize (all alt+ shortcut are removed now, only the ctrl+ shortcuts should work) alt+space / ctrl+space -> select word alt+b/ctrl+b browseIt alt+c/ctrl+c copy alt+x/ctrl+x cut alt+v/ctrl+v paste alt+f/ctrl+f find Some "duplicate" shortcuts weren't removed because the shortcut defined with the keymap pragma don't work (at least on windows). For example: ctrl+a/alt+a defined with the action map and ctrl+a defined by keymap pragam this wasn't remove, because ctrl+a does not work on windows vm ctrl+m/alt+m defined by the action map ctrl+m defined by keymap pragma this wasn't remove, because ctrl+m does not work on windows vm please test the 50075 image, reinitialize editors subclasses and give feedback (linux and mac users too). thank you nicolai
