Need help for collecting tests usage data

by Blondeau Vincent

Hi, An intern of the RMod research team needs your help: Cheers, Vincent De : Pharo-users [mailto:pharo-users-bounces@lists.pharo.org] De la part de Benoit Verhaeghe EnvoyÃ© : mercredi 7 juin 2017 16:47 Ã : pharo-users(a)lists.pharo.org Objet : [Pharo-users] Need help for collecting tests usage data Hi everyone. I need your help. Iâm working on how pharo developers use the tests. And you are pharo developers. So I developed a plugin and I would like you to download it. You just have to execute this line in a playground Metacello new smalltalkhubUser: 'Pharo' project: 'MetaRepoForPharo60'; configuration: 'TestsUsageAnalyser'; version: #stable; get; load. You will have to do it only one time in one image. Then, if they are updates itâll be done automatically and if you create a new image it will be automatically installed. The plugin will collect data on which tests you run, when, and the modifications you'll have done. Normally, it should be completely transparent for the users and the data are anonymous. If you want more details about the project or how it works, you can answer to this mail, or send me an email at benoit.verhaeghe(a)inria.fr<mailto:benoit.verhaeghe@inria.fr> or by using discord.

Re: [Pharo-dev] remote development via VS Code

by Dimitris Chloupis

problem is when you try to use a generic ide or an ide made for another language is that you get a sub standard experience. For example pyDev is an Eclipse extension that allows one to use Eclipse which is a predominantly Java IDE for Python. I used that in the past now I use PyCharm a Python exclusive IDE that is like nigh and day with PyDev. Pharo IDE has a lot of issues (auto completion being the worst for me) but its after all tailor made for Pharo. IDE APIs by the way are very common , especially for open source IDEs like Eclipse, Netbeans etc. So its possible to connect pharo with a ton of IDEs out there and not particularly hard , but there is little motivation to do so.

GSoC Week 4 Update - Enhancing Pharo Command Line Interface

by Rajula Vineet

Hi, This week I have integrated the new implementation and I tested if all the current tests are running fine. The new implementation works fine. I need to write a few unit tests and then I am looking forward to integrating this into Pharo. And this week I have written a blog post <https://vineetreddy.wordpress.com/2017/06/08/filesystem-and-its-internals/> on filesystems. It is a brief post. Do take a look and give your feedback. Thanks, Rajula -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/GSoC-Week-4-Update-Enhancing-Pharo-Command-Line-Inter… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

remote development via VS Code

by Ben Coman

I just bumped into Microsoft's MIT Licensed IDE "Visual Studio Code" that runs on OSX, Linux & Windows. What is interesting is their Debug Protocol for connecting to language specific debuggers. * https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensionAPI/api-debugging If I had time, it would be interesting (and super cool) to build a Debug Adaptor in Pharo * https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensionAPI/language-support as well as a Language Server Protocol provider * https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensionAPI/language-support Could make a good student project or two. The skills learnt and demonstrated would be quite marketable outside of the Pharo community. >From a marketing perspective, it might be more palatable for existing Visual Studio users to install Pharo as an extension rather than install Pharo as a whole new IDE (i.e. Pharo) - a common complaint about Smalltalk in general. At a minimum there is the exposure gained from Microsoft's Extension Marketplace, with early adoptors trying out Pharo just-because-its-there. It also smashes that regular criticism of Smalltalk that it lives too much in its on isolated world. It might attract developers wanting to do polygot development, for example (just guessing that might be possible): * game development using Unity libraries for the game engine with Ronnie's minimal-vm embedded as the scripting language, and debugging both in parallel from a single environment * Pharo web server backend with Javascript frontend I vaguely wonder if it would be possible to make a Debug Adaptor that integrates VM & Image level debugging, transparently stepping from Smalltalk into the VM C code. That could be useful for FFI debugging, or developing low-level graphics interfaces that might break our internal IDE.
