[Pharo-project] Strange bugs?
by StÃ©phane Ducasse Nov. 7, 2008

Nov. 7, 2008

Hi guys I would be interesting to understand these two points: - times repeat changes - hex removal (I do not remember why we removed it).

[Pharo-project] [ANN] 10129 and 10130
by StÃ©phane Ducasse Nov. 6, 2008

Nov. 6, 2008

Hi 10130 - I cleaned a lot of etoys related things based on pavel submissions. Now it will take long since a lot of packages got published but empty because of a bug in the process I used. Sorry. 10131 313: FileList2 crashes if some subdirectory present Stef

[Pharo-project] latest update #10129 breaks FileList2 (NonBooleanReceiver: proceed for truth).
by John M McIntosh Nov. 6, 2008

Nov. 6, 2008

After updating my test image and then attempting to open a file list browser I get a walkback This seems to be related to a change in FileList2>>initialize where showDirsInFileList _ false. was dropped by lr 10/29/2008 21:28 Unfortunately showDirsInFileList is not initialized anywhere else so the block then which uses the variable evaluates to nil... -- = = = ======================================================================== John M.

[Pharo-project] Debugger problem
by Michael Roberts Nov. 6, 2008

Nov. 6, 2008

Before I go digging too much, has anyone seen these symptoms? In executing some sunits I hit an error, so go poking around up the stack and try and restart a method or block to walk through the sequence of sends again. If I am inside a block I don't get prompted for the "restart the method or block?" type question. Squeak used to do this, no? I can't exactly work out what the exact sequence of events is, but I end up with multiple "unwind error during termination" notifiers popping up which I can't kill the process. This used to really wind me up in squeak so it might not be a new problem. any thoughts? Mike
