The one question i have is of course - how do the other numbers work, the ones that are not âlittleâ ones. I donât know if you plan other chapters (they would be very welcome) or if you could add a distinction between the different kind of numbers in the introduction to this chapter? One tiny remark: âgenderâ on page 14 is not a very good example to encode in one bit. As everyone knows, there are as many genders as there are people :) Best regards, Helene. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/New-version-of-Little-Number-Chapter-tp3804761p381776… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Thanks, that's really what I'm looking for. After a few months of Cucumber, I can't imagine diving into a new project without it. BTW, is the current Seaside Testing loadable in Seaside 3.0.6?

HI nahuel I would be interested in a little chapter on Cucumber, Mocketry, PhExample, but I will just be able to read and help not to write everything.

by Nahuel Garbezza

Hi Simon, I am working on a Cucumber implementation in Pharo, as soon as I have some working code, I will publish it on Squeaksource to get your feedback. I am also thinking of integrating this tool with Seaside Testing, for doing BDD/outside-in development like in Ruby on Rails. SSpec seems to be abandoned, but as far as I know, with Phexample (http://www.squeaksource.com/phexample/) and Mocketry (http://www.squeaksource.com/@wYyUVbTclnMIsEN3/IAUIW6j3) you can get the same functionality.

State of art for testing tools in Pharo?

by Simon Denier

I would like to know what's the state of the art when it comes to tests in Pharo. What are the habits? The best practices? Is there any ongoing development? I stumble upon that this morning (through twitter) http://www.lshift.net/blog/2011/09/13/checking-squeak-quickly Especially, I am interested in the following topics: - any framework to perform BDD? What's the status of SSpec? I also saw that Sean was starting to play with Cucumber, I would be very interested to see that - developing a Seaside app in TDD/BDD mode? Is there a tutorial out there about that? I stumbled upon Seaside Testing, which looks like an interesting layer http://www.shaffer-consulting.com/david/Seaside/TestingComponents/TestingCo… -- Simon Denier

CSS queries on an HTML Document

by jasiek

Hey, I've looked at a couple of packages that are available on squeaksource, but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. Is there a package for Pharo that would let me query a document through CSS selectors and return a matching collection of nodes?
