[Pharo-project] Problem in OBCmdCreateCategory (and probably Rename...)
by Friedrich Dominicus May 15, 2011

May 15, 2011

I'M not sure how to send patches and so we go. the execute implementation of the above class give an error while calling self categories sorted Set does not understand ordered is the message. Well I hacked it like this: execute | categories category before | categories := self categories asOrderedCollection sorted. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ category := OBCompletionRequest new assisted: true; collection: categories; prompt: 'Add Category'; signal. category isNil ifTrue: [ ^ self ]. before := requestor children at: requestor selection + 1 ifAbsent: [ nil ]. target organization addCategory: category before: (before isNil ifFalse: [ before name ]). self select: (target categoryNodeNamed: category) with: requestor announcer Probably bad as hell but "it works" Regards Friedrich

[Pharo-project] How to manage removed classes, ScriptLoader and Undeclared ?
by Mariano Martinez Peck May 14, 2011

May 14, 2011

Hi guys. It seems when a class is removed, and used by ScriptLoader, it goes to Undeclared, logically. Example: SMxHandMorph was removed. However, ScriptLoader >> update13143 did something with such class. So, now, it is in Undeclared. How can we correctly solve this kind of problem? 1) Always use "Smalltalk at:" and #perform: in ScriptLoader updates? 2) remove those #update methods ? 3) Fix the broken ones by Smalltalk at: a and #perform: ? Thanks -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

[Pharo-project] Monticello can't load a simple project in PharoCore1.2 or 1.3
by Damien Cassou May 14, 2011

May 14, 2011

http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=4229 Try to execute the following in a PharoCore: Gofer new url: 'http://www.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/hirschfeld/squeaksource/SwaUtilities'; package: 'Animations'; load (you don't need Gofer, you can also use the MC browser directly). It looks like Monticello manages to install the package correctly, but then the image is frozen and CPU runs hot. The problem appears in MCPackageLoader>>basicload between the following 2 lines: methodAdditions do: [:each | each installMethod]. methodAdditions do: [:each | each notifyObservers]. And when I say between, I really mean between. The line execute just fine, but then the CPU runs hot and image freezes.

[Pharo-project] Need help with 1.3 Full Image
by Marcus Denker May 14, 2011

May 14, 2011

Hi, In the past, the build of the Full/Dev image was broken most of the time, leading to bugs being discovered late, bugs not fixed while everyone is using the system and getting bitten by them... Now the Dev/Full image exactly is a such a thing that has no bottleneck: it's just some load scripts loading third party tools/libs. Just editing scripts and bug the maintainers. Nothing else to do. So it should be fixed far faster and much easier than Core, as it can be done in parallel? Right? Right? Wrong. The only person doing anyting is Mariano... (and me, I fixed 1.2 Full after is was broken an *astonishing* 23 *days* !!!!) I personally think this really wants to tell us something, but that's just me. So what we need is people who look at this list: http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/list?can=2&q=milestone=1.3-DevImage And *fix* the issues. Fast. I can not. Really not.

[Pharo-project] Funky BalloonMorph
by Hilaire Fernandes May 14, 2011

May 14, 2011

The balloon morph color and layout mess really give a bad bad feeling, I gave a look to try to fix it: * COLOR, it seems to be just an initialize issue, one should execute this in the image: BalloonMorph setBalloonColorTo: BalloonMorph defaultBalloonColor. * FONT, same problem, one should execute in the image : BalloonMorph balloonFont: StandardFonts defaultFont. * LAYOUT, the problem comes from the method String>>withNoLineLongerThan: doing very badly its job. Moreover this method need to be refactored to be readable, it is too looooong. Jannick can you give a try, you seem to be the author? Hilaire
