[ann] moldable editor - transcript with adornments
by Tudor Girba Sept. 4, 2017

Sept. 4, 2017

Hi, We are happy to announce that the moldable editor helped us create a richer transcript: GT Transcript. The transcript is traditionally a stream of plain text. As we now have an elaborate editor, we can take advantage of it to help us display richer representations. The API is backward compatible with the existing transcript. To enable the new features, we introduced a builder. For example: transcript nextPutAll: âsomethingâ becomes transcript next putAll: âsomethingâ and after #next we can add multiple attributes that we want to affect the following insertion of a text. Below you can find an example detailing most of the API. The most notable additions is the support for expandable adornments. For example, #showException: provides an in-place expansion of the stack of the exception context. To get an idea of how this tool can be useful, take a look at the following video showing the visual logging of a Bloc animation: https://youtu.be/9VATYNaLwJY The code can be found in the new incarnation of GToolkit: Iceberg enableMetacelloIntegration: true. Metacello new baseline: 'GToolkit'; repository: 'github://feenkcom/gtoolkit/src'; load. Cheers, The feenk team -- www.tudorgirba.com www.feenk.com âSoftware has no shape.

I need to dig into this more in detail :( cheers! Esteban

State of 64bits? Errors during configuration loading
by Cyril Ferlicot Sept. 4, 2017

Sept. 4, 2017

Hi, I would like to know the state of the 64bits builds. At Synectique we tried to build on of our tools in 64bits on ubuntu slaves but we get a lot a VM crashes. We get the image/vm with this command: wget --quiet -O - get.pharo.org/64/$PHARO+$VM | bash $PHARO = 61 $VM = vm Here is the command we launch: ./pharo Pharo.image --no-default-preferences eval --save 'Metacello new repository:'\''http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/*******/*********/main'\''; configuration: '\''********'\''; version: #development; load' And I join an example of log we get when the vm crash. Is that a known issue? -- Cyril Ferlicot https://ferlicot.fr http://www.synectique.eu 2 rue Jacques PrÃ©vert 01, 59650 Villeneuve d'ascq France

About allDirectories vs. directories
by Stephane Ducasse Sept. 2, 2017

Sept. 2, 2017

Hi I have been hacking a little page generator based on pillar for the mooc table of contents and I got surprised by the behavior of allDirectories it returns all the subdirectories including itself This is strange and inconsistent with the API in Behavior X = one level allX = deep below withAllX = deep below including me. subclasses allSubclasses withAllSubclasses So now when we do a deep we have to remov the first or scan the result to remove the receiver. I found that not nice. May be I miss something obvious such as .. which would be a child and return the parent = the starting container. Stef

[ann] moldable editor - documenter and examples without pragma magic
by Tudor Girba Sept. 2, 2017

Sept. 2, 2017

Hi, When we announced the GT Documenter as an application for the moldable editor, one of the remarks was that GT Examples implementation relies too much on pragma magic. We are now happy to announce that this is no longer the case because Andrei did a great job and rebuilt examples without the need for static pragmas for specifying dependencies. So, now we can example dependencies simply through normal calls: emptyView <gtExample> ^ GtMondrian new twoNodes <gtExamples> view := self emptyView view nodes with: {1 . 2} ... and the engine can figure out the static dependencies. This means that examples can be used both as plain unary methods, and as replacement for tests. We think this should address the worry of examples being too heavy (the current implementation is ~350 lines). With a bit of extra effort, we also adapted GT Documenter to expand the example dependencies as seen below. This means that examples can now be used directly as units of documentation as well. We think this is significant. Cheers, The feenk team -- www.tudorgirba.com www.feenk.com "We are all great at making mistakes."
