Hi Bernat, Which VM version? because MacOsX and Linux now use the same C part of the SerialPlugin. So if it works on Linux, it be the same on OsX. but I have not tried. do you use the right protName?

Re: [Pharo-users] I would rather pay for Smalltalkhub than use Github for free.

by FranÃ§ois Stephany

+1 Projects are not only source code anymore. Most of my projects have a gazillion of images, javascript, CSS files, etc. Storing all those external files in .mcz packages is not scalable (and not even elegant). FileTree+Git, while not ideal, solve the issue quite nicely. And you don't need Github anyway...

SerialPlugin on MacOS

by Bernat Romagosa

Hi list, Developing a multi-platform application is not so easy when you have to deal with hardware it seems... So I'm having this PrimitiveFailed error on MacOS, using the latest stable VM listed on the pharo-project website on Pharo20: *PrimitiveFailed: primitive #primWritePortByName:from:startingAt:count: in SerialPort failed* The same code works fine both in Gnu/Linux and Win32, so I'm guessing it's a problem with the serial plugin included in this VM. Any ideas? Cheers, Bernat. -- Bernat Romagosa.

Hello, The method that exists is #withArgs:executeMethod: so replace "executeMethod: someCode" ==> by ==> "withArgs: #( ) executeMethod: someCode" or create the method: Object>>executeMethod: compiledMethod ^ self withArgs: #( ) executeMethod: compiledMethod Then it should work. You're the second one to ask that question I will make a fix. Are you in Pharo 2 or Pharo 3 ? #perform: is different. #perform: takes a selector as argument and the lookup will find out the method to execute, whereas executeMethod: directly run a method with no lookup (which can lead to a crash if the receiver cannot run properly this method). 2013/11/5 Joachim Tuchel <jtuchel(a)objektfabrik.de> > Hi, > > I am not sure whether Pharo implements or once implemented a special > method like executeMethod: but in Smalltalk the selector for sending a > message to an object is #perform: so you should probably try to replace > #executeMethod with #perform: . > But I am sure somebody more familiar with ProfStef and Pharo will comment > on your issue more specifically. > > HTH, > > Joachim > > Am 05.11.13 07:36, schrieb Bahman Movaqar: > > Hi all, >> >> Reading ProfStef at lesson 25 (Reflections), when I try to run the last >> statement <code>ProfStef default executeMethod: (ProfStef >> lookupSelector:#next).</code>, the error pops up saying <error>Unknown >> selector executeMethod:</error>.

If you want to do a business application, well, I'd use Seaside and a web based UI. (that's the current conclusion for my own ongoing development) Otherwise, Spec (which is in a state of flux), or Morphic (which is not covering all you may need in an application).
