WebClient Issues on Pharo 2.0

by vmusulainen

Hi, I have loaded WebClient from ConfigurationTool on Pharo 2.0. It seems something changed at system so I had some issues while loading the package and fixed it. I would make my fixes public for community. How do it? Does exist any guide? If I right understand this document <http://www.pharo-project.org/community/how-to-contribute> describe contrubuting for Pharo and not applicable for 3dparty packages. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/WebClient-Issues-on-Pharo-2-0-tp4732142.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I recommend you to take a look at this: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~OS/OS-Windows there can be a solution (not sure, because I never used it) Other possibility is not using NB but OSProcess: http://www.squeaksource.com/OSProcess.html hope it solves your problem. cheers, Esteban > > -- > Best regards, > Igor Stasenko.

WinProcess is not part of it. As for alternatives, i guess there is some, and can be implemented with FFI calls, but what exactly, you better look for windows API docs. -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.

Hi Dan, Try doing this again with upper-case 'T' like this: Time now Explanation: There is a class in the system called 'Time'. That class is an object (like everything else in the system), and the object knows how to respond to the message called 'now'. When you evaluate the expression 'Time now' (by choosing print it in the workspace), the 'now' message is sent to the 'Time' object, which responds with the current time. What you saw instead was the result of sending the message 'now' to an undefined variable 'time' in your workspace. Your 'now' message was received by a special object called 'nil' that represents the undefined object. When the object called 'nil' received your 'now' message, it generated the error message that you saw. HTH, Dave

(as I don't think they will be capable of doing so) This is wrong. A mac user not ever touch his songs directly, it uses iTunes, yet his music files are at "Music/iTunes Musicâ, not hidden. Same applies for pharo images. Even if you are not going to touch them, you still want them in a visible place (for copying, backing, sharing, etc.). Or just because. The default folder has to be Documents/Pharo, not some hard to access place. A pharo image is NOT an obscure configuration library.
