Versionner Wipes per-package #repository: setting
by Sean P. DeNigris Aug. 9, 2015

Aug. 9, 2015

If you have a config with e.g.: spec package: 'MyPackage' with: [ spec repository: aString ]; And then save it with Versionner, it gets truncated to: spec package: 'MyPackage'; Should I file a bug? Ideally, Versionner would support Metacello's full API, but in the mean time, at least leaving unknown options alone would be a big improvement. As it stands now, once one has something like the above in a config, one can't use Versionner anymore. ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Versionner-Wipes-per-package-repository-setting-tp483… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Google Code Shutdown
by Sean P. DeNigris Aug. 5, 2015

Aug. 5, 2015

In case anyone hasn't heard, Google Code will shut down entirely on January 25, 2016. I was following these Smalltalk projects there: magritte-metamodel moose-technology seaside marsonpharo nativeboost metacello squeaksource3 phratch - already on GitHub per Jannik The easiest action seems to be to export to GitHub, for which Google Code even provides a button! I just used it for one of my projects and it was pretty painless. - Sean Cross-posted to ESUG, pharo-dev, squeak-dev, seaside-dev, magritte, metacello ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Google-Code-Shutdown-tp4814760.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

NAtiveBoost error
by Alain Rastoul Aug. 1, 2015

Aug. 1, 2015

Hi, I have a problem with a nativeboost call, but I don't see what I do wrong. library function prototype is: int zmq_getsockopt (void *socket, int option_name, void *option_value, size_t *option_len); my calling method in pharo is: zmq_getsockopt: socket option_name: option_name option_value: option_value option_len: option_len <primitive: #primitiveNativeCall module: #NativeBoostPlugin error: errorCode> ^self nbCall: #(int zmq_getsockopt (void *socket, int option_name, void * option_value, size_t* option_len) ) when I call it with ... optionValue := (NBExternalArray ofType: 'int') externalNew: 1. optionLen := (NBExternalArray ofType: 'size_t' ) externalNew: 1. [ optionValue at: 1 put: 0 . optionLen at: 1 put: (NBExternalType sizeOf: 'int') . rc := self zmq_getsockopt: socket option_name: option_name option_value: optionValue option_len: optionLen . value := optionValue at: 1 . ] ensure: [ optionValue free. optionLen free ]. ... I allways get an exception: "error during FFI call : nil" After stepping in NBFFICallout generation, I found something strange, the code generation seems not to be called because lastError stays at nil ? handleFailureIn: aContext nativeCode: aBlock lastError := self getErrorFrom: aContext lastError: NativeBoost lastError. >>getErrorFrom: aContext lastError: errorCode ... checks pragmas etc >>getErrorFrom: aContext lastError: errorCode ... lastError := aContext tempAt: method numTemps. => lastError = nil ??? shouldn't be ErrNoNativeCodeInMethod ? "install native code and retry the send" lastError = ErrNoNativeCodeInMethod ifTrue: [ ^ self generateCode: aBlock andRetry: aContext ]. never gets called ... "ok, we're out of options, signal an error here" ^ self signalError: lastError Could it be because I use this image on windows and unix ? Or because I had an exception at prototype parsing the first time because I forgot a ; at the end of the prototype ? Is my prototype correct or is it the origin of the error ? Is there a way to reset the lastError (aContext tempAt: method numTemps) ? I will try to reset it in debugger but may be there is a cleaner way ? would it be ok to change the test in handleFailure to (lastError = ErrNoNativeCodeInMethod) or:[ lastError isNil ] ? (I can open a bug in this case ) Any idea or comment is welcome Thanks in advance Alain

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

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 ;)

Comments in STON
by Guillermo Polito July 17, 2015

July 17, 2015

Hi Sven, list, I'm using Pillar, and thus STON for its configuration file. And since I want users to change configuration files as they want, I wanted to add some comments explaining the meaning of the file fields. This raises the question: How can I write comments in a ston file? I was checking the STON reader and it looks like that is not supported. What should be a good comment format? { /* The site id is.... */ % comment line ## comment line -- comment line "siteid" : "" } Guille
