For now I'm not bothered about integrating Fossil as a Pharo VCS though. I just use Monticello. Pierce

Sure, I'm really excited about it and exploring further. However, it's nice to find users within Pharo community who can see the merits of Fossil DVCS.

CI build stuck?

by Johan Fabry

Hi all, I noticed that since some days the CI builds for LRP are stuck, they take forever and donât do anything. I thought it was aCI issue and the dev team was aware of this and it might clear itself up after some time but apparently itâs not the case. So this is to give a heads up, just in case â¦ URL of the project is https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/LiveRobotProgramming/ Console output of current build (Started 21 hr ago): Started by timer Building remotely on rmod-mac302.lille.inria.fr (32 mac) in workspace /Users/jenkins-pharo/Documents/ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/workspace/LiveRobotProgramming Deleting project workspace... done Triggering 50,development,vm Configuration 50,development,vm is still in the queue: Waiting for next available executor ---> Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org <--- Johan Fabry - http://pleiad.cl/~jfabry PLEIAD and RyCh labs - Computer Science Department (DCC) - University of Chile

Re: [Pharo-users] NeoJSON: parsing mapped nil fields

When using #next it parses whatever is there and returns it as either primitives, a map or a list, nested to any depth. When you use mappings and #nextAs: it tries to map a static type structure on what is coming in. As such it is not really prepared for dynamic surprises like objects being replaced by null. Do also note that the typing info is totally absent from the JSON itself, unlike STON for example. NeoJSON also tries (and succeeds) in maintaining a stream based parser that does not generate intermediate structures except your own domain models. But your request does make sense and I will think about it. It might be possible. It has been a while that I really thought about the implementation. Sven
