[Pharo-project] probably modal problem

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

Hi guys when I open 1.4 and I use the default browser edit a method then do not accept it click on another method. I get prompt (method promptForCancel) and the discard or accept do not work. I think that there is a problem with exception or something like that. Apparently the method confirm: 'Code has been modified.\What do you want to do?' translated withCRs trueChoice: 'Accept' translated falseChoice: 'Discard' translated cancelChoice: 'Cancel' translated default: nil. never returns it seems that findContextSuchThat: is sent to nil. I tried to understand if this is related to the introduction of a breakpoint in the method but I do not think so. calleeOf: aContext "Return the context whose sender is aContext. Return nil if aContext is on top. Raise error if aContext is not in process chain." suspendedContext == aContext ifTrue: [^ nil]. ^ (suspendedContext findContextSuchThat: [:c | c sender == aContext]) ifNil: [self error: 'aContext not in process chain'] promptForCancel "Ask for the appropriate action to take when unaccepted contents would be overwritten." | choice | choice := ( UIManager default confirm: 'Code has been modified.\What do you want to do?' translated withCRs trueChoice: 'Accept' translated falseChoice: 'Discard' translated cancelChoice: 'Cancel' translated default: nil ). choice ifNotNil: [ choice ifTrue: [ self accept ] ifFalse: [ self model clearUserEditFlag ]] => confirm: queryString trueChoice: trueChoice falseChoice: falseChoice cancelChoice: cancelChoice default: defaultOption "Put up a yes/no/cancel menu with caption queryString.

Yeah VM works on iOS. My use case is private, nothing fancy. I just value having decent TextEditor and friends.

The development of the Styled Text Editor inspired many changes to Cuis itself, and It is the first package to use the brand new DVCS based development process for external packages for Cuis 4.0. > > The idea and funding was provided by me, Bernhard Pieber and my company Software Generation. The implementation was done by Juan Vuletich, the mastermind behind Cuis. Thanks Juan for the close cooperation. It was and still is great fun to work with you. > > We are looking forward to feedback from you. Fork it on GitHub [1], create issues and send us pull requests. ;-) > > Cheers, > Bernhard Pieber > > [1] https://github.com/bpieber/Cuis-StyledTextEditor > [2] http://www.esug.org/wiki/pier/Conferences/2011/Schedule-And-Talks/StyledTex… > [3] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUoVbvwspi8&list=PL813665D04A2E4C0A&index=7&… > > > > -- > Philippe Back > "Helping you hit the top 3 outcomes you really want to achieve" > > Mob: +32(0) 478 650 140 | Fax: +32 (0) 70 408 027 Mail: phil(a)highoctane.be | Web: http://philippeback.eu | Blog: > http://philippeback.be > > High Octane SPRL > rue cour Boisacq 101 > 1301 Bierges >
