[Pharo-project] Some more dev on Polymorph for DrGeo
by Hilaire Fernandes April 21, 2010

April 21, 2010

Known to work with Pharo 1.0. Someone asked for a more elaborated UI for DrGeo, here are some progresses in this polymorphization of DrGeo. In its latest Monticello package one can grab DrGeo at http://www.squeaksource.com/DrGeoII See enclosed screenshot for a quick view. To start a DrGeo instance, do a "DrGeo new" in a workspace and enjoy the UI. Beware, style tools does not work in the toolbar. It is also possible to use DrGeo as a service for Etoys when executing a "DrGeo sample openInWorld" It is also possible to load XML description of DrGeo 1.1 geometric sketch, if one is interested you can grab it at http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/drgeo/trunk/examples/figures/ and load a sketch with a command: DrGeo newXml: path Beware sketch with embedded Scheme code will not work (just try) Working sketch: mercedes, euler-line, DrGeoII comes with a better interface for scripting with Smalltalk script, empower by the IDE, much nice than the former Scheme one. Elaborated demonstration at http://blog.ofset.org/hilaire/index.php?post/script-drgeo (automatic translation link with Google in a comment, at the end of the article)

[Pharo-project] Why does datedVersion appear in both SmalltalkImage and SystemVersion?
by Sean P. DeNigris April 21, 2010

Why does datedVersion appear in both SmalltalkImage and SystemVersion? SmalltalkImage delegates to SystemVersion. Why have both?

[Pharo-project] We already have the selected projects and students!
by Mariano Martinez Peck April 21, 2010

April 21, 2010

Hi folks. First of all, let me apologize for being quite offline the last weeks and for not helping too much. I had some personal stuff to do ;) Fortunately, Janko could take care of it and keep it rolling. Thanks a lot Janko. Here are what all of you want to know: the final results of voting for 5 projects to get this year GSoC stipendiums: 1. Cross-Platform Namespaces (score: 80) by GermÃ¡n Leiva, mentor James Foster http://gsoc2010.esug.org/projects/namespaces 2. Generate UML diagrams from Smalltalk code for Pharo (score: 77) by Carla Florencia Griggio, mentor Geert Claes http://gsoc2010.esug.org/projects/uml-from-smalltalk 3. Squeakland education project (score: 76) by Ricardo Moran, mentor Randall Caton http://gsoc2010.esug.org/projects/squeakland-education 4. Progress Towards a Cross-Dialect Smalltalk FFI (score: 74) by Dmitry Matveev, mentor Eliot Miranda http://gsoc2010.esug.org/projects/ffi 5. Visualization of profiling information in Pharo and Squeak (score:73) by Mariano Coca, mentor Alexandre Bergel http://gsoc2010.esug.org/projects/profiling-visualization Congratulations to the accepted students! Be aware that the most "non enjoyable" part of the process has already finished so now it's time to code, hack and have fun! You are the envy of a lot of people, you are being paid to program in something that you really like and enjoy. This is an excellent opportunity so take advantage of it and don't miss it. Please, work hard and deliver something, but never forget to have fun, learn and enjoy. For all the students which were not accepted, don't worry. If your project and proposal is good you will find another opportunity sooner than you expect. For us, this was an excellent opportunity to gather information about really interesting projects and, what's more, to know lots of great students with a passion for Smalltalk. With no doubt, we will keep in touch with all of you and we will eagerly wait your application for next years. Thanks again to all of you for helping us to make the Smalltalk community bigger and better. So stay tuned with us!

[Pharo-project] setting a custom header for HTTP via CurlPlugin
by Saris Hein April 21, 2010

April 21, 2010

Hi, I am trying to get some stuff done with REST using Pharo. So far, I am able to do GETs, but I am unable to do PUTs because the REST service expects the content sent to be JSON. For this to work, I need to set the Content-Type of the request to 'application/json'. I have successfully installed the CurlPlugin via Gofer (version 25 from dao), and thanks to John (M. McIntosh), who provided me with a new version of the bundle for Mac, I was able to pass all the tests, except for the testApiOptions test, which fails on the timeout: test. The version John provided me with is 2.0.0. I first tried with version 1.1.0, but that failed on 13 tests due to a primitive that failed constantly (<primitive: 'primSetOptLong' module: 'CurlPlugin'>). There is a method addHeader: in the plugin, but it does not seem to do anything useful. I have found a blog (Jazz Programming) by Giovanni Corriga, who claims to have a version of the plugin that allows for custom headers to be set, but the link to his version gives a 304 error. Plus the blog dates from 2007. Having a version of the CurlPlugin that allows me to set a custom header would be great, so if anybody has one, please let me know. But what I would really like to have is a good implementation of the HTTP protocol in Squeak/Pharo, so that we are not dependent on a plugin. The standard HTTP client in Squeak/Pharo is based on HttpSocket, and is only a partial implementation of the HTTP protocol (it only supports GETs as far as I can tell). Does anyone know of another way to do basic HTTP in Squeak/Pharo? Regards, Hein

Re: [Pharo-project] FEATURE: User chooses preferred location for MC directory repositories

Sean, Don't know if this has already mentioned, but you can programmatically add Directory repositories as follows: | repo | {'/path/to/repositories/project-1/'. '/path/to/repositories/project-2/'. '/path/to/repositories/project-3/'. } do: [:path | repo := MCDirectoryRepository new directory: (FileDirectory on: path). MCRepositoryGroup default addRepository: repo ]. ----- "Sean P.

Hi I tagged some tests as expected failures and I got a strange behavior. On the the tests which was passing was listed under the failures. When I renamed the method without updating the expected failures my bar was green. So expected failures really expect that the tests failed? We cannto have green tests in there? Stef

[Pharo-project] Running Alien on Windows
by Torsten Bergmann April 21, 2010

April 21, 2010

Bouraqadi Noury wrote on pharo-dev >We have trouble running alien on Windows. Starting from a clean pharo >1.0 image and the latest VM, Would not work out of the box with the VM since it requires VM changes. Marco ported them from Newspeak and made them available [1]. Tests went green and he is sucessfully using Alien on Windows. But it is not yet in the official Squeak VM (which is 4.0.2.). There is also an issue for pharo [2] and an issue for VM developers [3] to follow progress. So the code is there and is ready for integration. Andreas asked for the license [4], Marco answered that code was from Newspeak [5]. After that we got a good response from John McIntosh on the license issue [6] which should be OK now. (Dont know, I'm not a lawyer) After I asked Andreas again he answered that it is not highest priority for him which I understood since Squeak 4.1 was in preparation. See last response regarding this [7] Dont know what should be the next steps to get Alien into the Win32-VM code base. Maybe Andreas could tell you more. As a workaround you could use the source provided by Marco to build your own unofficial VM - however you would have to reintegrate anytime Andreas makes a new release... Bye T.
