DrTests and enhancing testing experience in Pharo

by Dayne Lorena Guerra Calle

Hello everyone! My name is Dayne Guerra, Iâm a bachelor student in computer science in Bolivia. Iâm working on Pharo for my bachelorâs final project. My mentors are StÃ©phane Ducasse and Juan Pablo Sandoval. Iâve started by commenting methods and later I worked on a plugin that creates tests from executable comments (e.g. â(4+1)>>>5â) I have a video demo: https://youtu.be/DgR2YETzjfA Itâs a plugin for DrTests (https://github.com/juliendelplanque/DrTests) DrTests project aims to provide a plugin-based UI to deal with tests in Pharo. It will provide the same features as the actual SUnit UI (i.e., running tests, profiling tests and computing code-coverage) but will allow to plug additional analysis on unit tests such as for example: the mutation testing framework and the rotten tests finder. Once my work on DrTest is done, I will probably work on enhancing SUnit API as well. New ideas and feedback is always welcome. Regards, Dayne Guerra

In my case the solution will be to compose the path to the repository in the baseline by hand before passing it to Metacello (e.g. `repository: 'filetree:', (FileLocator imageDirectory) pathString, '...'`.

Should I open a new one? This is known behaviour. #imageDirectory and #workingDirectory are distinct concepts. #imageDirectory, obviously, is the location where the image resides, while #workingDirectory is the current working directory for the process. It's unfortunate that MacOS sets cwd to "/" when starting applications through the GUI. It sounds like you are already aware of this, but just to be clear: if you start Pharo from a shell you should see #workingDirectory return the same value as `pwd` in the shell. I'm not a Mac user, so I don't know what other applications typically do, but maybe wrap the startup in a script that changes to something more sensible (in your case above it sounds like changing to the directory where the image is located). But modifying #workingDirectory to answer the image directory isn't a good idea as it breaks lots of other use cases. Cheers, Alistair

#currentWorkingDirectoryPath is not correct on macOS when using drag and drop to open

by Max Leske

Hi, OSPlatform>>currentWorkingDirectoryPath (used by Path>>workingDirectory, used by Metacello to resolve local paths) always answers '/' for me when I drag the image onto the VM to open. I'm sure that's a "feature" of macOS but it's very annoying. In addition, FileLocator imageDirectory answers the correct workingDirectory because it uses a primitive instead of the FFI call to getCwd(). Is this a known issue? Should I open a new one? Max
