Re: [Pharo-project] Phexample should methods

Great post... a lot to think about :) Adrian Kuhn wrote > Classes and methods are not the best model to structure tests.

I consider classes and methods to be the assembler of specifications (I prefer to "testing"). Because we have our amazing IDE, with Smalltalk turtles all the way down, all there is to do is create a GUI that works the way our minds do. Just like Spec will eventually have a painter covering the raw spec methods, so too can we have a Specification Painter. I started work on this several times, but there was so much cleaning to do in Pharo... But with all the progress made for 2.0, I feel that we are getting closer and closer and have been wanting to resume my work on that this week. It seems that a Morphic overhaul is the only thing left to make that easier, and at least a new text model (one of the more infuriating parts of Morphic) is already underway.

Re: [Pharo-project] New Issue Tracker

by Christophe Demarey

Hi all, I quickly developed a basic importer (Google code => Jira) so that everyone can play a bit with real data. There is still a lot of missing stuff that we can import (ex: labels, author) but I will only do that once we agree on the new bugtracker to choose. So, we have a free Jira instance available at https://pharo-project.atlassian.net/browse/DEMO (there is already a Pharo project but I prefer to not pollute it with tests). Direct acces to issues: https://pharo-project.atlassian.net/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20DEMO I configured the minimum. We can tune this portal if needed. If you want to play, first register and ask me to become a project member. Cheers, Christophe.

That would greatly lessen the difference between exploratory programming and "classic" TDD, which I think is a great idea. You play around with some code in a Workspace, get something working, and then want to formalise that/record it as a test... and have to open up a Browser and move bits here and there, and it's a bit of a pain. Having this kind of thing - whether a menu item or button or whatever - would remove that source of friction. frank

[Pharo-project] Pharo By Example 2 Book - Assembled Files in PDF form.

by phil＠highoctane.be

Hi all, I struggled with the fact that the PBE2 book was in tex format and not all chapters were together in a single PDF. So, I ran the scripts in order to get a version with all the parts put together. This should be made into a Jenkins job I think so that we can have the PBE2 and other books in PDF form for easier dissemination. Here is the current assembly: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t8pesgxsovy61k5/PBE2-Assembled-20130213.pdf 412 pages of Pharo explanations. How lovely! Enjoy, Phil

Alas in Smalltalk it's all we can work with. Other than Ruby we cannot break free from classes and methods I'm not sure I understand you correctly: in Ruby you also only have classes and methods. Those apparently independent methods (top level defs, describe blocks, ...) are all methods on Object. It's just that Ruby lets you (in the case of def) leave out the "on Object" part or (in the case of describe has special eval forms (and implicit receivers) which make Ruby look like it supports anything other than methods. frank > (imposed by the Smalltalk IDE rather than the language) so its what we must work with.
