[Pharo-project] Unix thing? Possible silent failure writing file.
I just had another silent failure that is a little disturbing. In short, I was writing a text file for use with R, needed a new column, arranged for it and re-wrote (so I intended) the file. Nothing happened, and no errors resulted. Is there a unix newbie trap at work? Truncating the file allow it to work. The need for that is one thing; having writes fail with no trace of why is another. Any ideas? Bill
Without a minimum snippet of the code that purportedly got into this incident, only a crystal ball can help here. . .
Surely I'm not the only person to make the Windows to Unix move. It is either something that happens, or another case of the Squeak primitives failing without saying that they did, let alone why. What you call a crystal ball, I call words from the wise who might have seen something similar before. ________________________________________ From: pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr [pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr] On Behalf Of csrabak@bol.com.br [csrabak@bol.com.br] Sent: Sunday, November 14, 2010 3:43 PM To: Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] Unix thing?
