Configuring where ZnServer serves files from
by Andy Burnett June 13, 2013

June 13, 2013

I needed to serve some (amber) files from a local host - it was just a quick hack. I fired up the 2.0 one click image on my mac, and looked at the instructions for running the server. I can see how it would work if I installed it on Ubuntu, but I can't work out where my website's root folder would be on the mac. i tried the various folders inside the package, but none worked. Which brings me to the basic question, how do I configure the path for a ZnServer - i am sure it is very simple, but I couldn't work it out. Cheers Andy

Choosing multiple tests to move to new class
by Mohammad Al Houssami (Alumni) June 13, 2013

June 13, 2013

Hello, I have been trying to see if its possible to click and choose several methods to be able to move them at the same time into another class but It seems its not possible. I have a test class that has around 1700 tests and the vm cannot run them all as it runs out of memory so I want to split them to smaller test classes but it seems ill have to move them one by one. Any ideas if its possible to move a selection at once ? Thanks Mohammad

#stable not defined
by Thomas Worthington June 12, 2013

June 12, 2013

Pick something in the configuration browser's unverified tab at random and the chances are that "Install configuration (stable version)" will fail with "#stable not defined" - tonight I tried FileSystem, Moose, CairoGraphics and Cog and all of them failed - some of them taking quite a long time to get to the failure point. To some degree this is fair enough from "unverified" but it would be nice if the "stable version" did not appear as an option on those which do not have one. Regardless, what should I do to get SOME version of, say, Moose or CairoGraphics loaded up? Thomas

Zinc: Posting aString
by Sean P. DeNigris June 12, 2013

June 12, 2013

In the Jenkins REST API, you create a new job by posting a config.xml to http://server_url/createItem?name=NewJobName Using an existing template file was easy enough: ZnClient new url: restUrl; queryAt: 'name' put: aString; uploadEntityFrom: '/path/to/config.xml'; contentType: ZnMimeType applicationXml. client post. But what's the equivalent for using a string representing the file contents? I tried: contents: JenkinsConfigFile new contents; and entity: (ZnEntity text: JenkinsConfigFile new contents); but neither seemed to work... (500 error on the server) ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Zinc-Posting-aString-tp4693047.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

minimal headless pharo2 for CentOS
by LogiqueWerks June 12, 2013

June 12, 2013

re: headless Pharo 2.0 I just finished building gst on a tiny VPS site, but I would rather use pharo ... I can get some tips from pharo --help in my SSH console but I have a big dev CentOS here in VirtualBox in which to experiment in headless builds if set on the right track ... Does anyone have a tip on starting with a Pharo 2.0 core ? I just need sockets, minimal HTTP and StdOut - I don't think I want Seaside on this tiny install ... but I would rather be using an HTTP server in Pharo than in Ruby or Python ... I have come to loathe Lighttpd and nginx config silliness ... but I could fallback to Ruby Sinatra or merb while I wait ... (the poor-man's Smalltalk ;-) Or should I be looking to strip down a VW image and wait for Pharo 3 ? I am scripting with Rebol 2 for now while I wait for rebol3 or Red ... thanks, Robert in a small Atlantic town Canada PS last night I could not see how to run St/X without X to see what mem footprint I would face ! -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/minimal-headless-pharo2-for-CentOS-tp4692753.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

SVN client and latex parser, are any there?
by Guillermo Polito June 12, 2013

June 12, 2013

Buon giorno! I got pissed off when committing latex and figures and stuff into svn by command line... So, for playing the weekend, does somebody know if there is any package implementing an svn client (maybe using osprocess, i do not care ;) and a latex parser? Tx! Guille

I forwarded the error to >their mailing list [2] Could it be a well known vm bug? https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?10395 The released version of Moose is 4.7, which is based on Pharo 1.4 Moose 4.8 is based on Pharo 2.0 and is very close to release, and perfectly useable. Installing Moose from Monticello packages takes a lot of time as it is large, so I recommend downloading a development build from http://www.moosetechnology.org/download/4.8 I fully agree that suggesting to install #stable versions of configurations where stable is not defined is not very useful.

inspect returns iOf SystemWindow and not receiver
by Sabine KnÃ¶fel June 11, 2013

June 11, 2013

Hi, while developing my app with seaside, I sometimes use inspect within any statement. I am used from Pharo 1.4 and from other smalltalk dialects, that >>inspect returns the receiver itself. But in Pharo 2.0 it returns an instance of SystemWindow. I dont see any sense in that. It that with intent?
