How to find all classes within a category?

Hi list, How do I find all classes belonging to a category? I could go through the Smalltalk dictionary, but I'm sure there is a better way, :-) Thanks!

Awesome!! Thank you so much for fixing it so quickly and being tolerant of my lack of knowledge. I have to say I am once again impressed by the smalltalk community. Thank you.

Nope, that wasn't the difference that mattered. You did find a bug, an interesting one, but your test code was overly complex hiding what was really going on. Here's a simpler test case that exposes the bug more directly. testObjectFoundMultipleTimesInAggregate | obj key | obj := SDPersonMock new. obj children: Dictionary new. key := Object new. "store ref to key in two places" obj children at: key put: 1. obj children at: 1 put: key. self deny: (obj children keys includes: nil). self deny: (obj children values includes: nil). obj save. self flushAndReload. self deny: (obj children keys includes: nil). self deny: (obj children values includes: nil) The bug has been fixed, pull down the latest code from SqueakSource and your code with work fine. As you can see from the test case above, the issue was related to an object being references in multiple places inside an active record. During serialization, this exposed a silly bug in the deep copy that I think I introduced recently with a round of refactoring. Thanks for the bug report. -- Ramon Leon http://onsmalltalk.com

Re: [Pharo-users] SandstoneDB and a dictionary

by David Zmick

Okay. So I wrote a test case with similar behavior and it worked correctly, but the difference between the test case objects and my objects is that all of the test case objects are active records that get saved, not just the top level object as in my code. So I guess there is no bug, I just do not understand what I am doing, which is what I was expecting to be the case anyway. So I guess my question is, do I need to make every object I am saving into a subclass of SDActiveRecord and go through everything and save everything, or should I be able to have, in my example code, the class Test be the only SDActiveRecord subclass and only worry about saving instances of Test?

If you can use the existing mocks, i.e. the man woman child classes, and make it fail in a workspace like you just did, that would be very helpful. Look at the existing testDictionaryKeys and build a similar one in the test class and get it to fail. Send me the failing test.

Re: [Pharo-users] SandstoneDB and a dictionary

by David Zmick

All the tests are passing except SDFileStoreTests>>#testBigSave and it appears to be because commitTime is not < 3 seconds. Do you want me to create a test in the actual test classes for Sandstonedb using the mom dad kid objects or can I do something like this? this creates the error I am experiencing when I ran it in the workspace: | t | t := Test new. t as1: OrderedCollection new. t bs: OrderedCollection new. t as add: (A new title: 1). t bs add: (B new title: 1). t as do: [:a | t bs do: [:b | a dict at: b put: 1]]. t save. Test coolDown; warmUp. t inspect. I don't really know how I would translate this into a test case, I am still new to programming so if you could give me some pointers I would very much appreciate them.

SandstoneDB and a dictionary

by David Zmick

Saving a dictionary that has references to other objects as keys results in data loss in the dictionary. I have created a simplified example to explain my problem: SDActiveRecord subclass: #Test instanceVariableNames: 'as bs' classVariableNames: '' poolDictionaries: '' category: 'Sandbox' Test>>initialize super initialize. self as1: OrderedCollection new. self bs: OrderedCollection new. self as add: (A new title: 1). self as add: (A new title: 2). self as add: (A new title: 3). self bs add: (B new title: 1). self bs add: (B new title: 2). self bs add: (B new title: 3). self as do: [:a | self bs do: [:b | a dict at: b put: 1]]. Object subclass: #A instanceVariableNames: 'title dict' classVariableNames: '' poolDictionaries: '' category: 'Sandbox' A>>initialize self dict: Dictionary new. Object subclass: #B instanceVariableNames: 'title' classVariableNames: '' poolDictionaries: '' category: 'Sandbox' Evaluating Test new and inspecting the result behaves as expected, but after evaluating Test new save, verifying the Test findAll has the expected values (which it does) and closing the image without saving, opening the image and attempting to reload the objects results in each instance of A's dictionary looking like this. dict: a Dictionary(nil->1) it should have said this(and did before closing and opening the image again): dict: a Dictionary(a B->1 a B->1 a B->1) Hopefully I have explained this problem somewhat well, it is difficult for me to find any other way to explain what I am experiencing. Should I not be using the B objects as dictionary keys? Am I using the wrong dictionary? I am lost. Thanks for any help. -- David Zmick dpzmick(a)gmail.com
