by Norbert Hartl

Thanks. And please tell us what data we can generate in order to help. It happened on our CI and this is a place where I can introduce stuff which generates data if it does not become too slow.

Re: "Evaluation of SUnit" â New blog post on all: objects all: theTime

by Yanni Chiu

The blog post has "Nobody thought about automating that process. Until Kent Beck did." That is not accurate, AFAIK. I believe it was in Kent Beck's original EXtreme Programming book where he says the practices were gathered from various Smalltalk shops he consulted at during the Smalltalk heyday in the early 90's. For what it's worth, here's the history I know. Around 1993, in Toronto, I was working at Footprint Software on VisualBanker (a suite of code to support banking that 4 of the 5 major Canadian banks bought). With my programming buddy (no "pair programming" at the time) our task was to build a persistence framework (supporting Relational, ObjectFiler, and in-memory). My task in a previous job was to convert (the AT&T Unix) C compiler to support the "new" ANSI C standard. Thankfully, I was provided with a test suite of C code, so that if it compiled without errors, then the compiler was standard compliant. So, looking for something similar to the ANSI C test suite I'd encountered, I set up test cases where all methods starting with "test" would be run, and ran the tests against all the backend data stores. The next day, my programming buddy (George), who started at 6am (to have a faster commute) tells me this test thing is great, and shows me the UI he built so we could just push a button. We can check the same behaviour for all backends, and we can coordinate our code changes through the tests (to mitigate our different schedule). A year later, the company's product was deemed slow, so they contracted Kent Beck to review our code base. He eventually comes around to us. We showed him what we did with tests, and then he just paused for about a minute staring out the window. We thought we were doing something really bad. A few months later, George said to me "did you see the SUnit thing posted on comp.lang.smalltalk". The basic "test"-prefixed test cases were there, but with the addition of the setUp and tearDown concept. Every once in a while I think to write this up. The "Nobody thought about automating..." words pushed me over this time. Maybe 15 years ago, I was able to find the original comp.lang.smalltalk SUnit posting, but could not locate it this time when I wanted to verify the dates.

Pharo Launcher & Monticello & Code Repositories

by Benoit St-Jean

1) I've been using Pharo Launcher 3.2 on Windows 10 for a while and it seems like there's a problem with launching images starting with version 11.Â It just doesn't work. Any hint? 2) On a totally different subject, is there a package to be able load the Monticello Browser tool back into the image starting with Pharo 11?Â It's really annoying to deprive users from easily loading code from all the repos still using the Monticello format! 3) Finally, is there a preferred ***central*** repository to store Pharo code?Â Something like Squeaksource was, or RubyGems (for Ruby) or Cincom Public Repository (VisualWorks Smalltalk) ? tia
