Sergi, you're too harsh on your code, I'm looking at it and it's nice! :) 2013/12/18 Sergi Reyner <sergi.reyner(a)gmail.com> > 2013/12/18 <btc(a)openinworld.com> > > I would say just ensure that it is packaged to load cleanly on a fresh >> image. >> > > Yes, as I mention on the description, IÂ´m wrapping my head around > Metacello trying to put together a decent ConfigurationOfChromia. > > Cheers, > Sergi > -- Bernat Romagosa.

Re: [Pharo-users] Problems with Postmark in Pharo 2.0 with and without Seaside

by Dave

Hi, I solved a couple of issues: 1) I didn't see PMEmail is a JsonObject. Now I understand why selector textBody: is not known by the system but it's valid. 2) The "NameLookupFailure: cannot resolve 'api.postmark.com'" is because PMInterface class>> defaultApiUrl ^ 'http://api.postmark.com/' instead of: PMInterface class>> defaultApiUrl ^ 'http://api.postmarkapp.com/' ** Can anyone who has access to the project change it? ** With that change it works Dave -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Problems-with-Postmark-in-Pharo-2-0-with-and-without-… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Pharo-users] Writing an IRC bot

by kilon alios

I created also a IRC bot with python. I was surpised how simple the irc protocol really is. But my robot was very basic. I agree with Bernat, messy code is much more preferable than no code at all. Sergi your plan sounds fine to me. I think it would be a good idea to announce new pharo builds via a bot to #pharo. This is a common practice for all channels. #emacs has an excellent bot that even allow you to search through documentation. So much potential :)

Problems with Postmark in Pharo 2.0 with and without Seaside

by Dave

Hi guys, I'm going to crosspost to the seaside and pharo lists, so please forgive me First: I'm stuck in installing Postmark, I think is something wrong with seaside, because on a Pharo 2.0 clean image everything is fine So the scenario is: On Pharo 2.0 and clean image, cmd-p on: Gofer new url: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/PharoExtras/Postmark/main' ; package: 'ConfigurationOfPostMark'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfPostMark) project stableVersion load. returns: a MetacelloFetchingMCSpecLoader(linear load : explicit load : 1.0 [ConfigurationOfPostMark] load : ConfigurationOfGrease-JohanBrichau.236 explicit load : 1.0 [ConfigurationOfPostMark] load : ConfigurationOfJSON-PaulDeBruicker.3 linear load : 1.0 [ConfigurationOfPostMark] linear load : 1.0.8 [ConfigurationOfGrease] load : Grease-Core-pmm.72 load : Grease-Pharo20-Core-pmm.1 linear load : 1.0 [ConfigurationOfJSON] load : JSON-ul.35 load : PostMark-Core-PaulDeBruicker.15) On Pharo 2.0 and clean image, cmd-p on: Gofer new url: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/PharoExtras/Postmark/main' ; package: 'ConfigurationOfPostMark'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfPostMark) project stableVersion load. gives me: - a DNU GRPackage(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand: #includesSelector:ofClassName: - then an alert: "You are about to load new versions of the following packages that have unsaved changes in the images: Zinc-FileSystem" I press merge - then another alert: "You are about to load new versions of the following packages that have unsaved changes in the images: Zinc-HTTP" I press merge so finally the result of cmd-p is: a MetacelloFetchingMCSpecLoader(linear load : explicit load : 1.0 [ConfigurationOfPostMark] load : ConfigurationOfGrease-JohanBrichau.236 explicit load : 1.0 [ConfigurationOfPostMark] load : ConfigurationOfJSON-PaulDeBruicker.3 explicit load : 1.0 [ConfigurationOfPostMark] load : ConfigurationOfSeaside3-JohanBrichau.71 linear load : 1.0 [ConfigurationOfPostMark] explicit load : 1.0.8 [ConfigurationOfGrease] linear load : 1.0.8 [ConfigurationOfGrease] load : Grease-Core-pmm.72 load : Grease-Pharo20-Core-pmm.1 load : Grease-Tests-Core-DamienCassou.81 explicit load : 3.0.9 [ConfigurationOfSeaside3] explicit load : 3.0.9 [ConfigurationOfSeaside3] explicit load : 3.0.9 [ConfigurationOfSeaside3] load : ConfigurationOfSPort2-JohanBrichau.12 explicit load : 3.0.9 [ConfigurationOfSeaside3] explicit load : 3.0.9 [ConfigurationOfSeaside3] explicit load : 3.0.9 [ConfigurationOfSeaside3] load : ConfigurationOfZincHTTPComponents-SvenVanCaekenberghe.59 linear load : 3.0.9 [ConfigurationOfSeaside3] linear load : 1.0.8 [ConfigurationOfGrease] linear load : 1.0.8 [ConfigurationOfGrease] linear load : 2.4.6 [ConfigurationOfZincHTTPComponents] load : Zinc-Character-Encoding-Core-SvenVanCaekenberghe.28 load : Zinc-Character-Encoding-Tests-SvenVanCaekenberghe.15 load : Zinc-Resource-Meta-Core-SvenVanCaekenberghe.28 load : Zinc-Resource-Meta-Tests-SvenVanCaekenberghe.16 load : Zinc-FileSystem-SvenVanCaekenberghe.10 load : Zinc-HTTP-SvenVanCaekenberghe.383 load : Zinc-Tests-SvenVanCaekenberghe.199 load : Seaside-Core-pmm.771 postload : Seaside-Core >> seaside304DoIts load : Javascript-Core-pmm.94 load : Seaside-Tests-Core-pmm.258 load : Seaside-Tests-Canvas-pmm.59 load : Javascript-Tests-Core-pmm.68 linear load : 2.33 [ConfigurationOfSPort2] load : FileSystem-Legacy-JohanBrichau.2 linear load : 1.0.8 [ConfigurationOfGrease] linear load : 1.0.8 [ConfigurationOfGrease] linear load : 1.0 [ConfigurationOfJSON] load : JSON-ul.35 load : PostMark-Core-PaulDeBruicker.15) Wow, so many more packages than the clean image! Second: That's not the end of the story, both in Pharo 2 clean image then the image with Seaside, if I evaulate: email := PMEmail new from: 'me(a)me.com'; to: 'you(a)you.com'; subject: 'whatever'; textBody: 'test'; yourself. interface := PMInterface new. interface apiKey: 'my key'. interface send: email. I discover 1) textBody is no more a valid selector (so PMInterface comment is obsolete), I got rid of it and I tried again, but 2) I get an alert: NameLookupFailure: cannot resolve 'api.postmark.com' Gosh!

Re: [Pharo-users] Writing an IRC bot

by Esteban A. Maringolo

An IRC bot is basically an REPL interface over a socket. It's a fun project to implement with Smalltalk. I made a couple of bots circa 2000 (IRC was still a thing) with Perl. If you implement the IRC bot that doesn't integrate as an extension to an existing IRC client, you'll end up implementing an IRC client itself, which you will be able to use by your bot or yourself. :) Regards!
