Rearranging tests between categories
by Mohammad Al Houssami (Alumni) Aug. 27, 2013

Aug. 27, 2013

Hello All I have done this before but I cant remember how I did it. I did "something" that gave me a window that has something similar to this TestCatA(#test1 #test2...) TestCatB(#test3 #test4....) and just by doing cut and paste from one set to another and saving would move the methods... I am not sure if it was categories or classes as well... I cant seem to remember how I did that...

Seaside JQuery Ajax processing question
by kmo Aug. 26, 2013

Aug. 26, 2013

Can anyone help with a Seaside jQuery ajax issue? I want to change the contents of a div when the mouse goes over a document element by means of an ajax call. In this example, I have rendered a list of words as spans (one span per word). When the mouse goes over any span, I want to show the dictionary definition of the word in another div on the page. The dictionary definition has to be generated on the server side. So I have to reference the current span ("this") in my ajax processing. I find I can change the page contents as desired when the mouse moves over a span (see below) but I am completely clueless how to get the text of the span, the word itself, into the html I want to render. renderContentOn: html |aQuery anAjax| aQuery := html jQuery expression:'span'. anAjax := html jQuery ajax. anAjax script: [ :s | s << ( (s jQuery: #GlossViewer) html:'This was written by an ajax call')]. aQuery onMouseEnter: anAjax asFunction. html div id:#TextViewer; class:'TextPane'; with:[self renderWordsAsSpans: html]. html div id:#GlossViewer; class:'GlossPane'; with:'The grammatical analysis goes here'. html document addLoadScript: aQuery. My basic problem is that I have no real idea of how data is passed back to my program in an ajax call and how I can reference it in my code. The seaside documentation is not bad on JQuery as a whole, but explanations and examples of ajax processing with Jquery and Seaside are not easily found. If it's relevant I'm using Pharo 2.0 Summer and Seaside 3. Thanks.

Re: [Pharo-users] Categorizing tests according to test result

Hi Mohammad, You can take a look at TestResult>>historyFor: Why are you generating unit tests as code with a script? And why do you have many failing tests? Stephan

[ann] dynamic browsers with glamour
by Tudor Girba Aug. 26, 2013

Aug. 26, 2013

Hi, Here is a little announcement for those that like Glamour. Andrei and I worked on making Glamour more dynamic by pushing the presentation definition at execution, rather than at browser construction time. To achieve dynamic presentation creation, before you needed to use the GLMDymamicPresentation. For example, the MooseFinder was built like: MooseFinder>>compose self finder show: [ :a | a dynamic display: [:each | | dynamic | dynamic := GLMCompositePresentation new. each mooseInterestingEntity mooseFinderPresentationsIn: dynamic. dynamic ] ]. Now, the same code becomes: MooseFinder>>compose self finder show: [ :a :each | each mooseInterestingEntity mooseFinderPresentationsIn: a ]. You can see more details here: http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/building-dynamic-browsers-with-glamour Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "Every thing has its own flow"

Categorizing tests according to test result
by Mohammad Al Houssami (Alumni) Aug. 25, 2013

Aug. 25, 2013

Hello all. I am using the SUnit framework and I have made a script to generate tests and I have more than 5000 tests. I want to know if there is a way I can categorize the tests into Passin Failing and Error categories without having to do that manually. I want to late file out all the passing tests and change something in the code :) Is there any way or this is not possible? Sorting them according to result rather than alphabetical order would also solve the problem :) Thanks Mohammad

Hi Ken, Doing this lookup serverside only works if the latency is low, i.e. not for a mobile site or one at the other side of the ocean. Only getting a hovertext can be done easier using the title attribute.

Rendering in Glamour
by Mohammad Al Houssami (Alumni) Aug. 25, 2013

Aug. 25, 2013

I am trying to use the Glamour and as I first step I copied the code provided in the examples and pasted it in a new class called tree browser. I then tried to execute this in my workspace: |browser accum renderer| browser := TreeBrowser new. accum := browser accumulator. renderer := GLMMorphicRenderer new. accum renderGlamorouslyOn: renderer. I thought that executing this would give a window or something but it didn't and I can't figure out how to do so. I don't get any error message or anything. How is it supposed to show a window on the screen? Is there some other command I have to add to display the window? Thank you :)

The Pharo Advantage: what is it for you?
by phil＠highoctane.be Aug. 24, 2013

Aug. 24, 2013

Hello, As part of the defense of a budget and technology choices, what would you guys list as a key advantage of using Pharo for creating software solutions? My current stack is: Pharo 2.0 Seaside 3 (including Seaside-REST) Magritte 3 Twitter Bootstrap + a couple of data storage stuff (DBXTalk, Phriak, Voyage) + STOMP + Amber if needed I've been test driving the whole stack for a while and even if there are some quirks, it looks like good enough for what I want to achieve. Now, my question: what is the Pharo advantage you would put forward vs other choices (like LAMP, Java, Rails etc). I am aware of what those could be but I am more looking for what makes you tick when using the technology (like: "it is fun to work with", "no more Java for me, due to ...", "speeds dev time by ...", "not NSA-backdoor-enabled") This is the kind of thing we should have in stock for helping the Consortium members get buy in from people giving a yes on budgets. Thanks in advance for your help! (BTW, I am going to use this on monday morning for defending our position on a significant project). Phil
