Re: [Pharo-project] [Moose-dev] Re: where to report vm crashes? (while running Moose tests)

It would be good to have a parallel job, but the problem is that you will get a message saying that the VM is too old for the Pharo 2.0 image.

[Pharo-project] working moose build
by Tudor Girba March 14, 2013

March 14, 2013

Hi, The Moose build including running tests now works based on the NBCog VM and the latest Pharo 2.0 (built on Ubuntu): https://ci.inria.fr/moose/job/Moose-latest-dev-4.8/lastCompletedBuild/testR… There are 27 test failures. I also tried on OS X using NBCog VM and the there is no crash. This scenario was also confirmed by Stephan although he reported more failures. For reference, we are using the following script on Jenkins: wget --quiet -qO - http://pharo.gforge.inria.fr/ci/script/ciPharo20NBCogVM.sh | bash wget http://pharo.gforge.inria.fr/ci/image/PharoV20.sources ./vm.sh Pharo.image save $JOB_NAME REPO=http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/Moose/Moose/main ./vm.sh $JOB_NAME.image config $REPO ConfigurationOfMoose --install=development ./vm.sh $JOB_NAME.image moosetest --junit-xml-output zip -r $JOB_NAME.zip $JOB_NAME.image $JOB_NAME.changes PharoV20.sources Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "From an abstract enough point of view, any two things are similar."

[Pharo-project] [ANN] Amber 0.10 released!
by Nicolas Petton March 13, 2013

March 13, 2013

After a bit more than one year we have finally put together a new release of Amber - the web developer's best friend: http://www.amber-lang.net Yeah, we know, too long time for a release cycle, but we think you will like this release! First - let's run the numbers - since the 0.9.1 release there have been over 850 commits (compared to 250 for 0.9.1). We have closed 364 issues and added 150 new unit tests bringing us to 271 in total. All classes in the kernel now have comments and there are Travis jobs to keep us all in line. Forks on github have gone up from 43 to 83 with 365 followers. Phew. And what goodies does this give us? Well, first Nicolas got carried away with compiler technology (must have read a book or something) and added a whole new Super Duper compiler tool chain providing both an AST with annotations and an Intermediate Representation layer (IR) enabling semantic analysis and easier optimizations, a better inlining mechanism, support for block contexts (whoa!) and an AST interpreter to round it off. Wait a minute, what? An interpreter? Why on earth would we want a... oh. To be able to implement a full stepping debugger of course (coming in 1.0). Baddabing! Just the new compiler tool chain would have been enough for a release, but since Nicolas is not the only Elf in Amber land this release also includes SUnit improvements and cleanup with support for async assertions, a new build system based on gruntjs replacing the old makefiles (seems slicker in the land of JS), an improved ClassBuilder with better class migration support and a new amberc compiler written in Amber instead of that ghastly bash script... (deep breath) ...and an improved loader to be able to use 3rd party packages, improved kernel classes, and updated documentation. And we also split the github repo into three separate repos - Amber itself, the examples and the website - and yeah, the website got a new look. ...and a whole new IDE is brewing called Helios (in the helios branch). But nah, sorry, Helios will land in 1.0. :) We hope you join us in developing Amber and having fun! Fork at github, join in #amber-lang on freenode and hop onto the mailing list. /the Amber crew

LogFullTally.txt cannot be produced. Weird that Smalltalk vm getParameters would give such a strange collection as shown in the left explorer. Phil

[Pharo-project] Debugger-driven development (was Re: WhatsUp from: 2013-03-11 until: 2013-03-24)

I've been thinking how to run a kind've live-coding demonstration at work, showing how a Smalltalk debugger is so clearly superior to what other folk have. (Squeak trunk now lets you create methods not just on an MNU but also where people have things like "self subclassResponsibility", "self notYetImplemented" or "self shouldBeImplemented" flags such that you can debug-edit-and-continue.) frank

Dear Pharoers last january I visited another lab and I realised that the Pharo Team was not good at systematically telling what we were doing. I got quite frustrated by that situation, especially because we are working hard to build a better system. So we brainstormed when I came back and we want to apply the same ideas that what we do for our research team. For our research team every monday we get a simple mail that tell us to say to the others what we did and what we plan to do. Simple, easy. Then after people of the rmod team can discuss if they want more. We want to do the same with pharo. Often this is not that we are not doing things. Often we are doing boring, tedious stupid but $^%&&*^ important tasks and we want that you know it. In addition we want to share on what we are weekly working. So that you can be more engaged to join and collaborate with us. So we will launch an experience and see. For now we will send a notification every two weeks. the Pharo Team
