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.

Re: [Pharo-users] ProfStef, Lesson 25 - Unknown selector

by ClÃ©ment Bera

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>.
