[Ann] Calypso scoped refactoring
by Denis Kudriashov Jan. 18, 2018

Jan. 18, 2018

I finally implemented scopes support for refactorings in Calypso to be able restrict system changes to particular set of packages or classes. The new preview tool is copy of old ChangesBrowser with additional scopes list widget: In this picture I requested Announcer>>initialize rename and switched scope to the Announcer package. Scopes are filled by browser where refactoring was requested. It is same logic how method browser receives scopes from original browser. When user changes scope all refactoring changes are recomputed. It was last dependency of Calypso from Nautilus related packages. Now it can be loaded without Nautilus. Best regards, Denis

It can be another > bug of wrong startup order > Maybe a problem on the image and the vm side. Even in headless mode, starting pharo creates a window. Even if it is hidden, it has some size. Quit and Saving an image will write the current width/height into the image file. Starting the vm will create a window and set the size of the window to the last size. The window is always created in normal (not-maximized) mode and the available size is a little bit smaller than for a maximized window. Now, the image checks for a change of the size of the current DisplayScreen instance and the actual screen size. If this is different (as in this case) a new DisplayScreen is initialized which will call a full screen update (ioForceDisplayUpdate). And this method will show a hidden (headless) image. > > >> >> On Fri, Dec 29, 2017 at 6:22 AM, phil(a)highoctane.be <phil(a)highoctane.be> >> wrote: >> >>> I am using nssm because the service option is broken. >>> >>> The code seems to still be in the image but disabled (there are quite a >>> few things like that actually). >>> >>> Phil >>> >>> >>> On Fri, Dec 29, 2017 at 11:59 AM, Torsten Bergmann <astares(a)gmx.de> >>> wrote: >>> >>>> >>>> Hi, (cross posting vm-dev) >>>> >>>> nssm is nice - but requires additional tools. >>>> >>>> Since the days of Squeak the windows VM had the >>>> >>>> -service "ServiceName" >>>> >>>> option and one was able to run Squeak as a windows service out of the >>>> box. >>>> >>>> See http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/105 for details. >>>> >>>> This option allows to register/deregister with the windows service >>>> manager and run >>>> a headless image. >>>> >>>> I run a Squeak Wiki (Swiki/Comanche) since years with this and it is >>>> very nice and stable. >>>> >>>> Unfortunately this is broken in recent Pharo VMs and so far Esteban or >>>> others did not >>>> have the time to look into this issue.
