funny idea Symbol vs. Selector
by stephane ducasse May 14, 2015

May 14, 2015

Hi guys I'm thinking aloud... I was wondering if we could not take advantage of a new class: Selector. MethodDict would only contain selectors and not symbols. I remember that I talked about that with hernan. Stef

Postmark email library
by Francois Stephany Aug. 31, 2013

Aug. 31, 2013

Hi guys, I've made a simple wrapper around the Postmark API. It lets you send emails without dealing with a SMTP server. You can read about it here: http://developer.postmarkapp.com/developer-libs.html http://developer.postmarkapp.com/developer-build.html and there: http://articles.tulipemoutarde.be/send-email-from-pharo-with-postmark It's pretty simple and naive implementation but it gets the job done. I'll add email attachements when I will need it. Francois

Package browser?
by Rob Vens June 28, 2013

June 28, 2013

I am attempting to do the Pharo by Example book, but a package browser (which is used in the examples) is not in the 1.1.1 or 1.2 image. Should I still use categories? If I create a package in Monticello browser I am not able to add classes or anything (not as far as I could see). Just starting out using Pharo, so apologies if these questions are already answered elsewhere.

Pharo 1.4 Unable to download from HTTPS Monticello repository
by Federico.Balaguer March 12, 2013

March 12, 2013

Hello I am having problems downloading packages from a HTTPS Monticello repository. The image has Zodiac installed. I am able to upload versions but I cannot download them. I am able to download the packages from a web-browser, Using the Monticello Browser I can browse the content of the given repository. When I select any package on the repository a debugger pops up: "MNU: Character>>bitOr:" I do not see how to fix the problem, at some point, MCMczReader>>zip calls Zip>>readFrom: calls Zip>>readEndOfCentralDirectoryFrom: calls ReadStream>>nextLittleEndianNumber: calls SmallInteger>>bitOr: with a Character as parameter which makes the <primitive 15> to fail. I can try to fix the problem but I would need a little help to understand the root of the problem.

the amazing Tools > Finder > Examples tool
by Ben Coman Dec. 31, 2012

Dec. 31, 2012

Just wanting to relate a recent experience using Examples in the Finder, since this is a great tool that I didn't learn how to use for a long time. I have just now again been pleasantly surprised and mildly amazed that it works a well as it does. Perhaps there is someone out there might gain from an introduction to its use... I am creating a mouse-over popup using Rossal, for which I needed to format a string to a maximum width. This is something I thought likely already done within the standard image but before rushing to the mail list to ask an old-hand where I might find it, I thought I'd just try... 1. World Menu > Tools > Finder 2. Choosing "Examples" from the pull down menu. 3. In the search-input-field typing: 'abcdef' . 3 . 'abc', String cr , 'def' 4. Clicking the <Search> button. which gave me one result String>>withNoLineLongerThan: that was exactly what I needed. You will notice that the search input field is an array of three items: * 'abcdef' - this first item is the receiver of the message * 3 - middle items are parameters to the message * 'abc', String cr , 'def' - the last item is the message-return-value The really cool part of this is being able to construct the message-return-value as an expression, to place a newline carriage-return where I would expect it to appear. cheers -ben

Deploying Pharo 2 onwards applications (commercial) on Win platforms
by Sanjay Minni Dec. 30, 2012

Dec. 30, 2012

Hi I am new to Pharo ... What would be normal / optimum method of deploying Pharo applications on Win platforms (so as to give a native look and deployment feel). Also if the image / development environment is exposed then can the code be obfuscated (say to avoid tampering) thanks & regards -- Sanjay Minni 91-9900-902902

Running remote command via SSH causes Pharo to hang
by Frank Church Dec. 29, 2012

Dec. 29, 2012

I using the PipeableOSProcess to run ssh commands which return output and Pharo hangs when I try it. Commands executing locally work okay, but the ssh ones generally hang. Transcript show: (PipeableOSProcess command: '~/deploy_scripts/linkproxy.sh -f 1591') output eg The linkproxy.sh backgrounds an SSH command that enables both remote and local forwarding via the "command &" option. Is there some other option I can use to stop the script hanging? The other part is when I use execute a command remotely via SSH. eg - ssh user@localhost 'execute remote command'. This option also results in a hang. Anyway I will make some further checks and report back. Transcript show: (PipeableOSProcess command: '~/deploy_scripts/linkproxy.sh -f 1591') output -- Frank Church ======================= http://devblog.brahmancreations.com
