Hi, We solved it but we could still need some help from you. Without using gofer to load/update metacello configurations manually/explicitly, is there a way to force metacello to update existing configurations to the very latest ones while metacello is loading a configuration ? Example: The dependencies of the configurations is as follows: ConfigurationOfGToolkitCore ---> ConfigurationOfGTInspectorCore + ConfigurationOfGTPlaygroundCore + ConfigurationOfGTSpotter ... Whereas ConfigurationOfGTInspectorCore, ConfigurationOfGTPlaygroundCore, ConfigurationOfGTSpotter are already in a fresh Pharo 4 image (but outdated) Updating and loading "ConfigurationOfGToolkitCore" will only load itself and the latest packages that are defined by the configurations which are already in the image. But we would actually like to update those configurations (and their packages) as well. Otherwise the load would be "incomplete" (dependencies broken). Can Metacello do that ? Is there an easy way to do it ? Or is gofer the only solution ? How do you handle configurations that depend on other configurations (already loaded, but outdated) ? <-> Consistency of dependencies Thanks stef ---------- What we want is equivalent to the following snippet: { 'ConfigurationOfGToolkitCore'. 'ConfigurationOfGTInspectorCore'. 'ConfigurationOfGTPlaygroundCore'. 'ConfigurationOfGTSpotter'. 'ConfigurationOfGlamourCore'. 'ConfigurationOfRubricCore' } do: [ :aConfigurationName | Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'Pharo' project: 'Pharo40Inbox'; package: aConfigurationName; load ]. (ConfigurationOfGToolkitCore project version: #development) load. Am 04/03/15 um 14:53 schrieb Andrei Chis:
Hi,
We fixed this but we are not sure if the behaviour that we got was a result of a bug or a feature in Metacello.
Again our setup is that we have three configurations with linear dependencies between them: -- ConfigurationOfGTInspectorCore (2.0-baseline) -- ConfigurationOfGlamourCore (3.1-baseline) -- ConfigurationOfRubric (0.2-baseline)
In ConfigurationOfRubric we had version "1.2.8" that uses '0.2-baseline'.
The development version is '0.2-baseline' and the stable version '1.2.8'
[1] (ConfigurationOfGlamourCore project version: #development) record loadDirective [2] (ConfigurationOfGTInspectorCore project version: #development) record loadDirective.
When performing [1] Metacello decides to load Rubric. This because "MetacelloNullRecordingMCSpecLoader" uses the operator "=" (since none was specified before) to figure out whether something should be loaded. At a certain point this is executed:
compareCurrentVersion:targetVersionStatus:using: (from above) ... ... ... ... #allLoadedToSpec = #allLoadedToSpec ===> TRUE "1.2.8 [ConfigurationOfRubric]" = "<>0.2-baseline [ConfigurationOfRubric] (MetacelloMCVersion)" ===> FALSE ===> Rubric is not removed from the loader list
When performing [2] Metacello decides not to load Rubric. In this case Metacello deals first with #ConfigurationOfGlamourCore. But after "GlamorCore" has been processed, the operator in the global mcLoader is set to ">=". All further specs-to-load (MetacelloNullRecordingMCSpecLoader) will be compared using "=>". So now rubric get's removed:
compareCurrentVersion:targetVersionStatus:using: (from above) ... ... ... ... #allLoadedToSpec >= #allLoadedToSpec ===> TRUE "1.2.8 [ConfigurationOfRubric]" >= "<>0.2-baseline [ConfigurationOfRubric] (MetacelloMCVersion)" ===> TRUE ===> Rubric is removed from the loader list
That's why "Rubric" doesn't show up in the final loader list. The second (inner/nested) spec-to-load will remove it (after it has been successfully resolved by the previous nested configuration ConfigurationOfGlamourCore) because of the operator.
So there is a difference between #ConfigurationOfGlamourCore and #ConfigurationOfGTInspectorCore in how "Rubric" is resolved and loaded.
Anybody else encountered this?
Cheers, GT team

Hi,
We are having the following problem when trying to update GTolols to their latest version in the latest Pharo 4 image: Rubric does not get updated. We have:
-- ConfigurationOfGTInspectorCore (2.0-baseline) -- ConfigurationOfGlamourCore (3.1-baseline) -- ConfigurationOfRubric (0.2-baseline)
Performing [1] shows that rubric gets updated (atomic load : 0.2-baseline [ConfigurationOfRubric]) Performing [2] contains no trace of rubric.
[1] (ConfigurationOfGlamourCore project version: #development) record loadDirective [2] (ConfigurationOfGTInspectorCore project version: #development) record loadDirective.
Loading then the inspector [3] does not update Rubric. Loading just Glamour [4] updates it.
[3] (ConfigurationOfGTInspectorCore project version: #development) load. [4] (ConfigurationOfGlamourCore project version: #development) load
Any ideas or sugestions? Maybe we are missing something trivial. This updates the previous configurations to their latest versions:
Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'Moose' project: 'GToolkit'; package: 'ConfigurationOfGTInspectorCore'; load. Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'Moose' project: 'Glamour'; package: 'ConfigurationOfGlamourCore'; load. Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'AlainPlantec' project: 'Rubric'; package: 'ConfigurationOfRubric'; load.
Cheers, Andrei
