Re: [Pharo-users] how to install all of ZincHTTPComponents?

by Sven Van Caekenberghe

Hi Martin, What exactly did you do ? Zinc has been in Pharo since 1.3. Loading it from its configuration load a newer version. That has always worked for me and other. Can you give some details ?

This microframework is quite handy for REST API (and the README of the repo is *really* useful) http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~zeroflag/Teapot On Fri, Jan 30, 2015 at 3:35 AM, Sebastian Heidbrink <sheidev(a)yahoo.de> wrote: > Hi Martin, > > this is an interesting site. > > I saw your lab: "implement a REST API server in Smalltalk" > > You may want to have a look at: swagger https://github.com/swagger- > api/swagger-spec > and the additional parts around it. > > Swagger specs are easy to integrate into many clients via swagger codegen > and swagger.js. > > I think it would be a great project to have support in Zinc, or Moose for > that. > > Maybe this is something students would like to work on. > Sebastian > > > On 2015-01-29 5:50 PM, Martin BÃ¤hr wrote: > >> Excerpts from Sven Van Caekenberghe's message of 2015-01-29 22:57:57 >> +0100: >> >>> There are some students here in Lille that were looking for a cool >>> project, >>> and this is one of the two subjects that I suggested to them. >>> >> you have students looking for projects? >> there are a bunch of smalltalk related projects on labs.fossasia.org >> that i am mentoring. >> not sure if they count as cool though... >> >> greetings, martin. >> >> > >

how to install all of ZincHTTPComponents?

by Martin BÃ¤hr

hi, in pharo3 when trying to install ZincHTTPComponents only a few additional classes seem to get installed, not the whole set packages defined in the configuration. in pharo4 (40467) it's even worse. ZincHTTPComponents is already in the image, and installing it does nothing, removing and reinstalling it likewise. how do i force a reload/installation of all the packages listed in the ZincHTTPComponents configuration? greetings, martin. -- eKita - the online platform for your entire academic life -- chief engineer eKita.co pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.se caudium.net societyserver.org secretary beijinglug.org mentor fossasia.org foresight developer foresightlinux.org realss.com unix sysadmin Martin BÃ¤hr working in china http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/

Re: [Pharo-users] Autoformatting extisting packages

by Ben Coman

For lack of a better answer, would an equivalent be to be able to programmatically perform the <Format> menu item that is on the editor menu? Here is how I learnt a lot about Pharo... 1. Open the editor menu and bring up halos on the <Format> menu item. (key modifier combination varies between OS platform) 2. Click the spanner "debug" icon and choose <inspect morph> 3. Look through all the instance vars for the message that seems to invoke the formatting. Browse all implementors of that message adding "self halt" at the top. 4. Execute the command and trace through how its done behind the scenes, and adapt to your requirements.

Hi Martin, this is an interesting site. I saw your lab: "implement a REST API server in Smalltalk" You may want to have a look at: swagger https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-spec and the additional parts around it. Swagger specs are easy to integrate into many clients via swagger codegen and swagger.js. I think it would be a great project to have support in Zinc, or Moose for that. Maybe this is something students would like to work on.

Hi Nicolai, Thank for your answer, it was excellent!

Re: [Pharo-users] Autoformatting extisting packages

by Paul DeBruicker

If you want to reformat all the methods in a class/package/image, I don't know how to be helpful. If you never want to see unformatted code in a browse follow the instructions I sent you in response to your question about tools. Using the "pretty print" and "format on accept" settings will ensure that the code you see is always formatted to your specifications in the Settings browser using the RBConfigurableFormatter.

In the SystemBrowers, the one method that you are editing belongs to one (known) class and if you start typing "self" the code completion can guess which methods of that class (or superclasses) can be called. In the Workspace you don't have this (class-) context. But the code completion is smart enough to guess the actual type in some situations, for example in a Workspace: |m| m:= new Morph. m handleKey at this point, the code completion context knows, that "m" is a Morph and therefore only shows the methods from the class Morph, starting with "handleKey". This completion menu should be the same, as if you start with self handleKey in the SystemBrowser, while editing a method of the class Morph. nicolai
