missing cairo library in CI
by Peter UhnÃ¡k Feb. 14, 2016

Feb. 14, 2016

Hi all, not sure if this is best directed at pharo or CI mailing list... I've created a new job in pharo-contribution and my Pharo project uses Cairo library... however when CI ran the tests it failed on "Cannot locate cairo library. Please check if it installed on your system" ( https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/DynaCASE/2/PHARO=40,VERSION=deve… ) is it something I need to enable or disable somewhere? I'm pretty sure Athens also uses Cairo ( https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/Athens/) and it works just fine. Any pointers appreciated, Peter

GTDebugger missing block parameters?

When debugging a method containing a block with a parameter, the parameter is missing from the variable list (because it is aliased?). Stephan

Contributing to Pharo
by David Allouche Feb. 5, 2016

Hello, I believe the Contributing to Pharo page http://pharo.org/contribute-propose-fix <http://pharo.org/contribute-propose-fix> is out of date. I found a bug https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/17396/MonticelloRepositoryBrowser-example… <https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/17396/MonticelloRepositoryBrowser-example…> and a made a fix in in a clean image (50525), created by the newly fixed PharoLauncher. Then I followed the instruction on the page. > Create a slice (group of packages): > Open the Monticello Browser. > Open the Slice Maker by clicking the "Slice" button. > In Slice Maker enter the Fogbugz issue number and "grab" the issue summary. > Select all dirty packages affected by your bug fix. I have no idea how the "list of dirty packages" is generated, but it shows a bunch of packages I have not touched it does not show the package that contains my fix (Spec-Tools) I looked in the world menu, and I found this menu item called "Komitter". That sounded like a good candidate. Now, I guess I should select Pharo50Inbox as the Remote, write a commit message, click Ok and hope for the best. Is that right? I guess contributors are expected to use a recent image. So I think it would be good that someone updates the documentation. Or fix the slice maker. Or both.

[Pharo-project] [ANN] Pomodoro for Pharo 2.0
by Torsten Bergmann Feb. 5, 2016

Feb. 5, 2016

Hi, I followed the recent discussion and initial code about "Pomodoro" and since (until now) I used a timer written in Java I thought it would be a good idea to replace it with a Smalltalk one ;) I grabbed the HOPomodoro code from Phil and since it was marked as "experiment" I thought it would be good to write a new clean implementation with tests for Pharo 2.0. Thanks Phil - hope you are not angry that I hijacked the idea ... Attached is a screenshot of the tool. Install ======= Go to the Config browser in Pharo 2.0 ("Tools" -> "Config Browser") and load "Pomodoro" from the "Verified" tab. A new timer should appear and you can just click on "Start" to run the timer. When it finished it turns red, beeps and informs the user. How to use ========== You can open a new pomodoro (defaults 25 minutes) from the world menu ("Tools" -> "Pomodoro"). Customize ========= You can customize the pomodoro using Smalltalk. Here are a few examples: "open a new 25 minute one" Pomodoro new open "Opens a new timer with one minute total time" Pomodoro timerFor: 1 minute "Provide an action when pomodoro is finished" Pomodoro timerFor: 5 seconds whenFinishedDo: [ self inform: 'Pomodoro finished'] Code ==== The project comes with 15 tests. Code lives on project "Pomodoro" on SmalltalkHub. So far I added Phil and Sean as contributors since they discussed this topic already and may provide new ideas. If one wants to contribute feel free to do so. Thanks T.

Travis CI integration added to OSSubprocess and FFICHeaderExtractor
by Mariano Martinez Peck Feb. 3, 2016

Feb. 3, 2016

Hi guys, This is just to let you know that with the help of Esteban and between some work together [1] [2] I was able to have Travis CI integrated with OSSubprocess and FFICHeaderExtractor [3] [4] . Both projects are built and tested under Linux and OSX. Note also that one of the projects does a lot of FFI calls to system libs like libc and the other even generates C programs, compiles them and run it. Even the OS dependencies (like installing the compiler) are resolved correctly :) If someone wants to know how it's done, simply check the .travis.yml and the scripts/run-test.sh of each project [5] [6]. [1] https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/17488 [2] https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/17490 [3] https://travis-ci.org/marianopeck/OSSubprocess [4] https://travis-ci.org/marianopeck/FFICHeaderExtractor [5] https://github.com/marianopeck/OSSubprocess [6] https://github.com/marianopeck/FFICHeaderExtractor Cheers, -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

Warning in Pharo 5
by Cyril Ferlicot D. Feb. 1, 2016

Feb. 1, 2016

Is it me that did something wrong or in Pharo 5 the warnings open a debugger instead of a Warning window with the explanation? -- Cyril Ferlicot http://www.synectique.eu 165 Avenue Bretagne Lille 59000 France
