[Pharo-project] Who is working on which tests? Why are there new, broken tests?
by Oscar Nierstrasz June 10, 2008

June 10, 2008

I looked at the wiki page http://code.google.com/p/pharo/wiki/CurrentlyWorkingOn but it does not say much. I would like to work through some tests, but I cannot find an overview. The tests CharacterTest>>testHex and IntegerTest>>testHex are broken but seem to be very new. Stef, are you working on these? You seem to have written the tests ... - on

[Pharo-project] What is ScheduledControllers?
by Oscar Nierstrasz June 10, 2008

June 10, 2008

I was looking at http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6 and discovered this is broken because StandardSystemView sends to ScheduledControllers which does not exist. I googled for it and found it seems sometimes to be a class and sometimes a global. Anyway it does not exist. Anyone know where it came from? - on

[Pharo-project] fix Utilities offerCommonRequests -> UIEnvironment class
by Oscar Nierstrasz June 10, 2008

June 10, 2008

Stef, This is one of yours. UIEnvironment does not exist. Are you proposing to split up Utilities and move a lot of these utility-like this to a new utility class called UIEnvironment? What is the motivation/rationale? I do not see what problem is solved by introducing another utility class. Should the new class also stay in the System-Support category? - on

[Pharo-project] Are wiki comments making it to the list?
by Victor Rodriguez June 10, 2008

June 10, 2008

Hello, I'm not sure comments added to wiki pages are making it to the site. Could it be that the list does not accept email from non-subscribers? If so, could someone please "subscribe" or otherwise "whitelist" codesite-noreply@google.com? Thanks, VÃctor RodrÃguez.

by Oscar Nierstrasz June 9, 2008

June 9, 2008

I guess this page should be called "HaveALookAt" but I do not see how to rename a wiki page. Anybody know how to do this? http://code.google.com/p/pharo/wiki/HaveALootAt Where is the list of open tasks? I thought it might be here. - on

Hi all Beside cleaning the system I would like Pharo to be inventive and cooler. Here are a list of thoughts where I would like to see some efforts: Note that they are related to the milestone list http://code.google.com/p/pharo/wiki/Milestones Please have a look and see how you can contribute. - I plan to finish DrDoc. - I would like to have some mechanisms to deprecated classes. - first class packages. Then it would be good to have a look at the 3.10 fixes. Feedback is welcome. Stef
