[Fuel] [FuelMetaLevel] Help
by roberto.minelli＠usi.ch May 21, 2013

May 21, 2013

Hi, I am using Fuel to serialize/deserialize some objects. As part as the objects I need to serialize there are some classes, class definitions (i.e., Ring) and some CompiledMethod. It's not always the case that I serialize and materialize in the same image, thus sometimes I experience FLClassNotFound and FLMerthodChanged exceptions. I discovered FuelMetaLevel, as far as I can understand, it can solve many problems. Now my questions are (1) am I correct that it can help? and (2) from which repository should I load FuelMetaLevel? As far as I understood not Fuel is developed as part of Pharo so it's pre-installed in every fresh image. I tried to get FuelMetaLevel from ss3 (both Pharo20 and PharoInbox) but when I run FLSerializer newFull serialize: 'whatever' toFileNamed: 'whatever.fuel' I got a MNU on FLFullGlobalMapper>>#initializeWithInternalBehaviors:internalMethods:globalSymbols: since the class FLGlobalAssociationCluster is not part of my image. I'm attaching the stack trace of the error I'm getting. Thanks in advance, RM > UndefinedObject(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand: #newAnalyzing > FLFullGlobalMapper>>initializeWithInternalBehaviors:internalMethods:globalSymbols: > FLFullGlobalMapper class>>newWithInternalBehaviors:internalMethods:globalSymbols: > FLAnalyzer>>fullGlobalMappers > FLAnalyzer>>useFullMappers in Block: [self fullGlobalMappers] > FLAnalyzer>>globalMappers > FLAnalyzer>>mappers > FLAnalyzer>>firstInMapperChain > FLAnalyzer>>setDefaultAnalysis in Block: [:anObject | (FLAnalysis... > FLAnalyzer>>analysisFor: > FLSerialization>>analysisStep > FLSerialization>>run > FLSerializer>>setDefaultSerialization in Block: [:anObject :anEncoder | (FLSerialization... > FLSerializer>>serialize:on: in Block: [:anEncoder | ... > FLEncoder class>>on:globalEnvironment:do: in Block: [aBlock value: anEncoder] > BlockClosure>>ensure: > FLEncoder class>>on:globalEnvironment:do: > FLSerializer>>serialize:on: > FLSerializer>>serialize:toFileNamed: in Block: [:aFileStream | ... > StandardFileStream class(FileStream class)>>detectFile:do: in Block: [anotherBlock value: file] > BlockClosure>>ensure: > StandardFileStream class(FileStream class)>>detectFile:do: > StandardFileStream class(FileStream class)>>forceNewFileNamed:do: > FLSerializer>>serialize:toFileNamed: > UndefinedObject>>DoIt > Compiler>>evaluate:in:to:notifying:ifFail:logged: > SmalltalkEditor>>evaluateSelectionAndDo: in Block: [rcvr class evaluatorClass new... > BlockClosure>>on:do: > SmalltalkEditor>>evaluateSelectionAndDo: > SmalltalkEditor>>evaluateSelection >

Re: [Pharo-dev] WhatsUp from: 2013-05-20 until: 2013-05-31

It is a new project to help with workflow for developers in Pharo. The idea is a Distributed Issue Tracker, so you can keep track of your own issues, for your own projects, in your own image. The link is to the proposal for the GSoC 2013! So go vote! -Dusty >What is LightHouse? :) >Doru >On Tue, May 21, 2013 at 2:14 PM, Gareth Cox <gareth(a)inspired.org> wrote: > ### Here's what I've been up to since the last WhatsUp: > > LightHouse > -Learning Glamour > -Started new project with Stephan Eggermont and Diego Lont as part of GSoC. > Project is a Distributed Issue Tracker built in Pharo for Pharo! > ( > https://google-melange.appspot.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2013/riv… > ) > > > ### What's next, until 2013-05-31 (*): > > LightHouse > -More Learning Glamour > -More working on LightHouse UI > > Dusty >

Printing of BlockClosures
by Sven Van Caekenberghe May 21, 2013

May 21, 2013

Hi, One of the things that always positively surprised me about Smalltalk was the fact that BlockClosures are printing showing their actual source code, you don't get that in many languages. But now this seems to be gone, maybe temporarily, from 3.0 [ :n | n + 1 ] => [â¦] Was this intentional ? Sven

collaborActive book refers to SS
by Frank Shearar May 21, 2013

May 21, 2013

http://book.pharo-project.org/book/Tidbits/FAQ/Packages/ talks about how you can create a SqueakSource project. Presumably we want this to explain either how to create an SS3 project or a StHub project? If all I need to do is issue a pull request to https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/PharoByExample-english/ I'm happy to update it to whichever you prefer. frank
