Re: [Pharo-users] Storing test data in methods

Norbert, for similar purposes (INI-File contents etc.), in order to keep them under version control in envy, I wrote methods that produced a String that could recreate the objects when evaluated. Such a piece of text makes for a great class or instance method that you can compile into some Smalltalk class and get it under version control together with the code that uses the objects. Example: IniFileEntry with iVars #key and #value instance method: creationStringOn: aStream aStream nextPutAll: self class name; nextPut: $=; nextPutAll: self value asString. Thus you can ask all your IniFileEntries to write their own creation string onto a Stream and compile that into a method. You can see me talking about this and other related stuff here: http://www.objektfabrik.de/Downloads/VASTForum2010/VFM10-04-GetBackToShapre… (chapter "Get Everything under Version control, ca. 1/3 through the recording) HTH, Joachim m 23.07.13 12:47, schrieb Norbert Hartl: > I try to untangle my modules.

Storing test data in methods

by Norbert Hartl

I try to untangle my modules. I have a parser that creates a model and a tool that uses that model. For testing it is convenient to just generate the model and work with it. But this way I introduce dependencies which always pulls everything in. In order to untangle I would need a way to easily serialize the runtime model into methods or something similar. Anything that can be transported via monticello is ok. I just don't want to have dependencies to present of external files. That would just change the problem but not solving it. Any ideas? Norbert

Guilermo I would like to turn your blog entry into Gutenberg. I will do it while reading it as a kata exercise. Now I'm thinking that I could write a outputer for Gutenberg to produce the blog contents. What is the format used to edit your blog? Because like that we could change edit gutenberg file and get: latex html blog Stef On Jul 23, 2013, at 11:03 AM, Guillermo Polito <guillermopolito(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi guys, > > I've written a small post on the current mechanisms for download and deploy pharo images and vms.

Any hints? You were _very_ close. Indeed #contents: by default (without an explicit #contentReader set) will do something very generic. Setting the content-type as a header won't change the fact that the content-type of the entity wins, as you correctly said, in #acceptEntityDescription: The solution is to explicitly make your own entity, like this: | httpClient localApiKey text | localApiKey := 'xxx'. " my API key " text := 'Some huge announcements were made at Apple''s Worldwide Developer''s Conference Monday, including the new mobile operating system iOS 5, PC software OS X Lion, and the unveiling of the iCloud.'.httpClient := ZnClient new systemPolicy; url: 'http://api.opencalais.com/tag/rs/enrich'; headerAt: 'x-calais-licenseID' put: localApiKey; entity: (ZnEntity with: text type: 'text/raw'); accept: 'application/json'; contentReader: [ :entity | NeoJSONReader fromString: entity contents ]; post. Since content comes back as JSON, I parsed it already using NeoJSON (which you can easily load using the configuration browser). Using #systemPolicy will ensure that you get an error when the result is not 200 OK and application/json. It worked for me: I made an account and got a result back.

Testing the OpenCalais web service

by HernÃ¡n Morales Durand

I'm testing the OpenCalais web service. This is a web service which needs an API key to be used (registering takes only 1 minute in http://www.opencalais.com/APIkey) To check the service first I've used a Python script, taken from [1] import httplib2 import json LOCAL_API_KEY = '' # Aquire this by registering at the Calais site CALAIS_TAG_API = 'http://api.opencalais.com/tag/rs/enrich' # Some sample text from a news story to pass to Calais for analysis test_body = """ Some huge announcements were made at Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference Monday, including the new mobile operating system iOS 5, PC software OS X Lion, and the unveiling of the iCloud. """ # header information need by Calais. For more info see http://www.opencalais.com/documentation/calais-web-service-api/api-invocati… headers = { 'x-calais-licenseID': LOCAL_API_KEY, 'content-type': 'text/raw', 'accept': 'application/json', } # Create your http object http = httplib2.Http() # Make the http post request, passing the body and headers as needed. response, content = http.request(CALAIS_TAG_API, 'POST', headers=headers, body=test_body) jcontent = json.loads(content) # Parse the json return into a python dict print json.dumps(jcontent, indent=4) # Pretty print the resulting dictionary returned. The Python script works fine for me. I have tried to translate the code above, but my version in Pharo 2.0 using Zinc returns "I Read a ZnResponse(415 Unsupported Media Type text/plain 365B)" | httpClient localApiKey | localApiKey := ''. " my API key " httpClient := ZnClient new logToTranscript; url: 'http://api.opencalais.com/tag/rs/enrich'; method: #POST; headerAt: 'x-calais-licenseID' put: localApiKey; headerAt: 'accept' put: 'application/json'; headerAt: 'content-Type' put: 'text/raw'; contents: 'Some huge announcements were made at Apple''s Worldwide Developer''s Conference Monday, including the new mobile operating system iOS 5, PC software OS X Lion, and the unveiling of the iCloud.'. httpClient execute. Additionally the request returns the following message: 'Document conversion error. Please make sure that the content-type (passed through the paramsXML) matches this document contents. [ErrorMessage: com.clearforest.platform.system.CLFRuntimeException: There is no converter for this type of URI "file:/C:/CLFSW/v71/ct/bin/../../../v71/ct/var/dptemp/prvt/228295-app9/dp/papi/data/1374378595643-DF317E60-6634505.asc" ]' From what I could see, a difference is the 'text/raw' content-type is passed in Python's httplib2, but in Zinc is overriding by 'text/plain' it in #acceptEntityDescription: ? Any hints? HernÃ¡n [1] http://www.flagonwiththedragon.com/2011/06/08/dead-simple-python-calls-to-o…

For those sequences where the decompilation worked it was already quite impressive to see the Smalltalk code for something which was created in a totally different language :-) Thanks, Udo

Re: [Pharo-users] Generate Bytecodes manually

by Udo Schneider

I just stumbled over some IRBuilder behaviour which I'm not sure about. 1) Jump/Target Pairs As far as I understood each jump target can only be used by one jump. So if multiple jumps need to jump to the same location I have to create multiple targets (one per jump) pointing to the same location. I can work with this behavior just fine - I'm just wondering what's the rationale behind this restriction? IMHO the bytecode itself does not impose that restriction. 2) IR -> AST I created some IR sequences which works perfectly fine as expected. However trying to get the compiled method's AST results in an endless loop. I assume this is expected behavior as the process IR -> AST only works for a subset of instruction sequences normally generated by Smalltalk code. But I just wanted to be sure. Thanks, Udo
