[Pharo-project] Metacello and file repositories
by Torsten Bergmann June 10, 2010

June 10, 2010

Monticello allows you to use local directories as alternatives to web based squeaksource repositories. When I select one in the Monticello browser it displays "c:\pharo\myapp\repo\" (maybe "file://c:\pharo\myapp\repo\" would have been better - but thats a Monticello issue. Question: Is it possible to use Metacello configurations with directory repositories too? Currently this fails for me since Metacello always tries to use a HTTP repo while loading: --------------------------------------------------------------------- baseline10: spec "The first baseline for the MyApp project" <version: '1.0-baseline'> spec for: #pharo do: [ spec blessing: #baseline. spec description: '1.0 baseline for MyApp'. spec repository: 'c:\pharo\myapp\repo\'. "Packages" spec package: 'MyApp-Core-Model'; ... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Any comments?

[Pharo-project] Resolving dependencies during installation
by Andrei Stebakov June 9, 2010

June 9, 2010

I've come across this a few times using Pharo: When I try to install a new package (either through HTTP repository or Gofer) sometimes it complains about a dependency and you have a option to proceed or abandon. I guess proceeding could be dangerous in this case since you never know when this missing dependency will backfire. What's the general rule of how to look for a package with the missing class(es)? Let's say I was trying to install Pastell (XPath library) via repository and during installation I had the message: This package depends on the following classes: XMLNodeWithElements You must resolve these dependencies before you will be able to load these definitions: XMLNodeWithElements>>/ XMLNodeWithElements>>// XMLNodeWithElements>>child: XMLNodeWithElements>>children XMLNodeWithElements>>descendant: XMLNodeWithElements>>doesNotUnderstand: Where do I go look for a package with this class implemented? Shouldn't the package being installed check for its dependencies and install them prior to its own installation (or at least give you a hint where this missing class belongs)? Thank you, Andrei

On Linux and Mac you can write /home/foo/test in your spec but on Windows you will never start a folder name with a slash since you typically write the drive letter first: c:/temp/foo Therefore the test in #extractTypeFromDescription: who checks (description beginsWith: '/') ifTrue: [ ^'directory' ]. works only for mac/linux folders. For the Windows folder name it will return false and therefore lead to an HTTP Repo which later crashes since you can download from http://c:/temp/foo By extending #extractTypeFromDescription: like this ((description beginsWith: '/') or: [description second = $:]) ifTrue: [ ^'directory' ]. it will work on Windows too. It's now fixed in Metacello-Core-tbn.362 on http://seaside.gemstone.com/ss/metacello Thanks Bye T. -- GMX DSL: Internet-, Telefon- und Handy-Flat ab 19,99 EUR/mtl.

[Pharo-project] Metacello and file repositories
by Torsten Bergmann June 9, 2010

After a short debug session I've found it: Metacello extracts the repository type from the spec (see #extractTypeFromDescription: method). Either it begins with ftp:// -> FTP is used / -> a directory is used dictionary: -> a dictionary is used In any other case the default "http" is used as type. This is OK for directory names in unix and Mac, but not on windows platforms. If you write "c:\temp\foo" it will not catch the directory and set the type to http which is wrong. A short workaround is to implement MetacelloPlatform>>extractTypeFromDescription: like this: extractTypeFromDescription: description description == nil ifTrue: [ ^nil ]. ((description beginsWith: '/') or: [description second = $:]) ifTrue: [ ^'directory' ]. (description beginsWith: 'dictionary://') ifTrue: [ ^'dictionary' ]. ^'http' since on Windows you typically have the drive letter followed by a colon. I can load my config then. Dale: can you include this for now? However - this just works for absolute paths - not relative. Maybe Monticello/Metacello should switch to "file://" for directory repositories to stay platform independent in the future... Bye T. -- GRATIS fÃ¼r alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!
