Nautilus class methods button feedback. + show method comment on hover.
by Peter H. Meadows Dec. 13, 2012

Dec. 13, 2012

1) When browsing code in nautilus how do you know if a class has class methods? Sometimes I forget to look for them because many classes don't have any. Could the button be changed to give visual feedback when a class has class methods? Maybe tell the user the number of methods? The comment button could do the same, although we already have the red exclamation mark to show classes without comments (which is a great way of encouraging people to comment their classes). 2) Something that would make a big difference to me is showing the method comment when you hover the pointer over a method. Then I wouldn't have to give methods super long names, because I could put details in the comment and get at them quickly.

parse iCalendar (rfc2445) recurrence rules into a Schedule?
by Paul DeBruicker Dec. 13, 2012

Dec. 13, 2012

Hi - Is there a package that will convert an iCalendar (*.ics file, rfe2445) VEVENT and its recurrence/exclusion rules/dates into a Schedule in pharo or squeak or gemstone? I've seen the iCal package on Squeaksource but it doesn't seem to interpret the RRULEs into anything other than their constituent parts. Thanks Paul

Dec. 12, 2012

Are there any tutorials out there covering the refactoring tools in Pharo2? What I'd like to see are some real world examples of how experienced developers use the refactoring tools.

Generating test data
by Norbert Hartl Dec. 12, 2012

Dec. 12, 2012

My current project (as it grows) becomes quite a complex piece of software. Most of my tests have a huge preamble for setting up test model data for the test. Based on inheritance there are certain aspects unified to save some work. But test data tends to need all permutations of all dimensions of the data to test properly. I wanted to ask what approaches are there for constructing sample data for complex tests. thanks, Norbert

Getting input from a pen tablet?
by Carla F. Griggio Dec. 12, 2012

Dec. 12, 2012

Hi everyone! I hope this is a stupid thing that is just driving me crazy because of my * newbieness* on the subject, but if I evaluate this: Sensor tabletPoint I get a PrimitiveFailed error. The plugin needed for getting input from pen tablets is JoystickTabletPlugin and is an external plugin of Cog. What do I need to do to make that message work? Thanks! Carla.
