Extension methods in p7
by Norbert Hartl Aug. 24, 2018

Aug. 24, 2018

Iâm about preparing magritte to be loadable in pharo 7. I encountered a bit strange behaviour where I had to take cumbersome measures. Magritte has method extensions that are called e.g. *Magritte-model-builder These methods get loaded but when I commit something all of these methods are to be removed. The only thing I could do was to rename the extension methods. Is this intended? Doing the renaming I encountered of few things. Magritte had the extension method above in the Magritte-Model package. When I rename the category *Magritte-model-builder to *Magritte-Model the method gets removed. Not a very usual case but still strange. In order to create a method extension one needs first to create a new protocol before converting to extension method. If the new protocol is empty and you convert it to an extension method it gets removed. So I had to first create a protocol, move a method in and then convert. This combined with the behaviour that if you select two methods the method pane jumps to the beginning of the list is a lot of work just to do this job. Still it is not a very usual case but some might be interested. Norbert

Startup Error in Recent Pharo 7
by Sean P. DeNigris Aug. 23, 2018

Aug. 23, 2018

Did something change in the last two or three days with Iceberg/Metcello/Monticello? I was loading a project successfully in a startup script via: Metacello new repository: 'filetree://', (repoFolder / 'src') fullName; baseline: 'DeNigrisPreferences'; onConflict: [ :ex | ex allow ]; load. That now fails with "IceCloneLocationAlreadyExists": IceGenericError: '~/Dynabook/Working Images/MM 23 1021/pharo-local/iceberg/seandenigris/Pharo-Preferences' exists and is not an empty directory. The crazy thing is that the directory does *not* exist! This only fails at startup. If I run manually after startup, the load succeeds. Ideas? ----- Cheers, Sean -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Developers-f1294837.html

Reducing the cost of documentation
by Alistair Grant Aug. 21, 2018

Aug. 21, 2018

Hi Everyone, The topic of documentation recently came up again on the squeak list and it made me wonder about some of the blocks that currently prevent more contributions to in-image documentation. One of the things holding back the in-image documentation is that the cost of contributing is too high: apart from actually making the change we currently have to (maybe) open an issue, create a branch, commit and open a PR. Someone with commit privileges then has to review the PR enough and decide to merge it. We then need to manually delete the branch some time later. This is one of the reasons that wikis have been successful, they lower the cost of making changes. We could extend iceberg to automatically submit PRs for documentation only commits (it could be a separate option, so that the doco only requirement is enforced), and set up github to auto-accept the PR. Modifying in-image documentation would then become a few extra clicks, significantly lowering the cost. I'm not familiar with Jenkins, or any other CI system, but hunting around google it looks like it may be possible to directly implement this, if not there are services such as https://mergify.io/ which advertise being able to do this by using flags in the CI to determine whether the PR should be merged (disclaimer, I've never looked at mergify.io, just found it while thinking about this). Thoughts? Cheers, Alistair
