[Pharo-project] rename a method programatically
Hello, I would like to know how I can rename a method programatically and safelly (without missing to raise any event that has to be raised)
This is good question! Behavior and ClassDescription is where you should look at. I don't remember the details, but i could say that its hard to find what is an 'official' way to do that. API is messy. We need to improve the SystemNotification and system changes layer to make everything clear. On 23 November 2010 15:17, Cyrille Delaunay <cy.delaunay@gmail.com> wrote:

I don't believe there is any simple way to do this. Basically, to rename a method you have to remove it first and compile into its class a new method containing the same source code but with a different selector at the beginning. This is how the refactory browser does it when you select "rename" from the "refactor method" menu. If anyone knows of a better way, I would be interested to hear it.
Cyrille I don't know why you need that but take into account that RB split their packages even more in the last months. So maybe it is easier for you to directly use RB and load with your code, the RB core or the specific package that you need. Mostly if you need some other similar functionalities.

Definitely use the RB for any code transformations. Cheers, Doru On 23 Nov 2010, at 19:01, Mariano Martinez Peck wrote:

I don't think it's a good option for meta-programming. For meta-programming, basic interface in Behavior or ClassDescription should be enough for manipulating with methods, without dependency from RB. Actually, RB then can use same API for manipulations.

Well, as long as you want to perform a refactoring I believe that RB provides the API in question. Doru On 24 Nov 2010, at 00:52, Igor Stasenko wrote:

Indeed, in my case I would like to do that wihtout using UI. I want to write a test in which I rename a method and see if the events emited have been well-catched by RPackage. 2010/11/24 Igor Stasenko <siguctua@gmail.com>

RB has NOTHING to do with a UI or with a Browser. Actually, it is very well splitted in packages, and I think you can just use RB with a simple api "programmatically". On Wed, Nov 24, 2010 at 9:17 AM, Cyrille Delaunay <cy.delaunay@gmail.com>wrote:

I was also referring to a programatic solution :). Perhaps the name is misleading, but RB is not the UI. RB is primarily the engine behind that contains the logic of performing a refactoring. Doru On 24 Nov 2010, at 09:17, Cyrille Delaunay wrote:

Exactlly. The UI can be OB-Refactory, or Gaucho, or just programatic.
