Spec Experience in Need for Feedback :)
by stepharo Feb. 14, 2016

Feb. 14, 2016

Hi guys I should say that I'm sick (gift from my little boy) so may be this is obvious. I'm looking at the code of Spec and I hate this code :) widgetDo: aBlock ^ self widget ifNotNil: aBlock I do not see why widgetDo: has to test for nil So I transformed widgetDo: aBlock ^ self widget ifNotNil: aBlock into widgetDo: aBlock ^ aBlock cull: self widget BTW I hate all the cull: call. They are connected with sloppiness). It is far too easy to use cull: I do not know how many arguments, I do not care I use cull: cull: is slow slow and help producing messing API. And it broke. The methodBrowser example did not work anymore and many others. Debugger felt down.... I feel sad. Now my brain is dead so I cannot concentrate more. Stef

missing cairo library in CI
by Peter UhnÃ¡k Feb. 14, 2016

Feb. 14, 2016

Hi all, not sure if this is best directed at pharo or CI mailing list... I've created a new job in pharo-contribution and my Pharo project uses Cairo library... however when CI ran the tests it failed on "Cannot locate cairo library. Please check if it installed on your system" ( https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/DynaCASE/2/PHARO=40,VERSION=deve… ) is it something I need to enable or disable somewhere? I'm pretty sure Athens also uses Cairo ( https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/Athens/) and it works just fine. Any pointers appreciated, Peter

Termination semaphore for Process
by Max Leske Feb. 13, 2016

Feb. 13, 2016

Hi all, I have a proposal and Iâd like to hear your opinion. Right now, when I want to wait for a process to finish I use something like #forkAndWait or I write a block with semaphores myself. This works fine for processes that I spawn and then immediately want to wait for. But what if I spawn a process somewhere else and only later know that I want to wait for its termination? Currently I would construct a polling loop to do that. Hereâs a different idea (which Iâve tested): 1. add instance variable âterminationSemaphoreâ to Process 2. at the end of Process>>terminate #ensure: that all waiting processes are signaled 3. add #waitForTermination message to Process: waitForTermination terminationSemaphore ifNil: [ terminationSemaphore := Semaphore new ]. self resume. terminationSemaphore wait This enables code like the following: result := 0. p := [ result := 2. 2 seconds asDelay wait ] newProcess priority: 20; yourself. âdonât run the new process yet" [ p waitForTermination. result2 := 3. ] forkAt: 30. âp is now running, the second process is waiting" p waitForTermination. âp is still running, two processes are waitingâ âbecause processes waiting on a semaphore are signaled in the order they sent #wait we even achieve ordering (at least with equal process priorities) and so âresult2â is not nil but 3â {result. result2} â#(2 3) I wrote this in 10 minutes, so thereâs room for polishing. I just want to know if this is something other people might want and if there are potential problems with process termination and semaphores which I am not aware of. Cheers, Max

Getting coherent shortcuts
by Guille Polito Feb. 12, 2016

Feb. 12, 2016

Hi all, Since a week, I'm back to using linux (debian) due to a new job. And it became SOOOO evident that the shortcuts are wrongly configured, that I actually cannot work! Sometimes windows are closed with ctrl w, sometimes with alt w. Nautilus is used with alt, playgrounds with ctrl... So, since today I was able to commit again, I decided to make a couple of slices/new configurations fixing the majority of shortcuts in the image. Like this, mac shortcuts will remain in cmd, but linux and windows shortcuts will be with ctrl, as expected by the vast majority of users :). The changes I made should fix 97.8882% of the shortcut experience in linux and windows, without degrading the one in mac. Of course, if you see any glitch, just tell. I had to touch several packages, which some are not in the Pharo repository. For this I prepared several issues for the monkey: *Slice - SLICE-Issue-17552-In-Linux-some-shortcuts-use-alt-some-others-ctrl-GuillermoPolito.2 https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/17552/In-Linux-some-shortcuts-use-alt-som… *Rubric - 2.7 https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/17558/Update-Rubric-In-Linux-some-shortcu… *DependencyAnalyzer - 1.15 https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/17557/Update-DependencyAnalyzer-In-Linux-… *FastTable - 0.10 https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/17555/Update-FastTable-In-Linux-some-shor… *TxText - 2.12.2 https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/17556/Update-TxText-In-Linux-some-shortcu… Also, I did some changes in Glamour and GTSpotter, but I have no permissions to commit there. How do we do to commit in those packages? Should I ask for permissions or is there any other process in place? Guille

name of the warning
by Peter UhnÃ¡k Feb. 12, 2016

Feb. 12, 2016

Hi, was the name of the warning (signal) intentionally removed from the Debugger's title? â Now to get the actual error message I have to select the text and print it instead of just reading the title. Peter
