[Pharo-project] PackageInfo>>classes does not distinguish traits from classes (issue?)
Hi there When I run PackageInfo>>classes, I get both classes and traits defined in the package. So I can understand the need for a method retrieving all 'compilation units' (or behaviors) from a package, but is there no method to just retrieve the regular classes? Especially since there is a #externalTraits method. -- Simon
Hi Simon, There is no such method. But it would be easy to add (just send "aPackage classes select: #isTrait"). The reason for returning traits with the classes is that clients of PackageInfo typically expect "compilation units", i.e., a collection including traits. The naming, of course, is not optimal, and should be fixed in the long run. The problem is to do so without breaking the clients of PackagInfo.

What is strange adrian is that before we did not encounter this problem in moose. May be something changes and we did not notice it. Stef On Nov 23, 2009, at 10:31 PM, Adrian Lienhard wrote:

Keeping in line with the saying "to clean up your own back yard", I think it's more related to a change in the Moose importer, especially dealing with the package cache. I changed some parts of the package importer in September (but it does not look to change this aspect to me). Now my memory is a bit fuzzy, so I cant track down at which point the last Pharo import worked (this summer?) Sorry, it's a bit off topic for the Pharo ML :)
