Hmm, that is tricky. If you inspect ZnLogEvent announcer during the execution you will notice that a redirect is involved. Your original request for https://github.com/kilon/ChronosManager/archive/master.zip gets redirected to a request for https://codeload.github.com/kilon/ChronosManager/zip/master for which the name is effectively 'master' without the extension. Maybe the original name should be used, I have to think a bit about that. It seems that curl does it like that. In any case, you can also specify a file to #downloadTo: as a workaround. Try: ZnClient new url: 'https://github.com/kilon/ChronosManager/archive/master.zip'; setIfModifiedSince: (Date year: 2015 month: 12 day: 1); downloadTo: FileLocator imageDirectory / 'master.zip'; yourself. > Unfortunately setIfModifiedSince: does not seem to be supported by Github :( Yeah, not much you can do about that.

Code pane in Pharo 5

by phil＠highoctane.be

Is there a way to have that pane with *less* noise around the code? Like getting rid of the suggestions panel at the bottom? Or the status line with W +L Format as you type? Not that I do not like them (at times), just that all of the bright red/green icons are distracting (a little more toned down color would be welcome). With small methods, this makes a lot of text in the way. When there are a ton of Nautiluses around, this adds up. I feel like I code on a Christmas tree. Phil

Re: [Pharo-users] [Moose-dev] MacroRecorder available in Pharo

by Dimitris Chloupis

WOW a pharo video where someone actually speaks, thats rare :D Impressive tool, and certainly useful if you have to do a lot of changes in a lot of code. The name is a bit misleading because its not really a general purpose macro recorder and focused only on transformations. I vaguely remember another macro recorder that was able to macro record and playback any pharo action.

MacroRecorder available in Pharo

by Gustavo Santos

Hello guys, I would like to present you MacroRecorder, a tool to build custom source code transformations in Pharo. The tool is available in the Catalog for some weeks now. The current version runs in Pharo 5 and there is an old version running in Pharo 4. To show how this tool works, I prepared a quick demo video. Take a look: https://youtu.be/gW3l4O-WEGs Right now, I'm interested in usage data. That means, if you face a case of repetitive code transformation in practice, and I believe this happened to most of you, please: (i) show me the transformations you did, in case they already happened in the past, or (ii) consider using the tool to apply them automatically And, of course, feel free to ask questions, provide feedback, etc. Kind regards, -- Gustavo Santos http://gustavojss.github.io/

ZnClient problem with extensions

by Dimitris Chloupis

I am on Yosemite, latest 5 image, lastest VM and using this code ZnClient new url: ' https://github.com/kilon/ChronosManager/archive/master.zip'; setIfModifiedSince: (Date year: 2015 month: 12 day: 1); downloadTo: FileLocator imageDirectory. it downloads the file but does not append the extension ".zip" as it should. Unfortunately setIfModifiedSince: does not seem to be supported by Github :(

Re: [Pharo-users] New Introductory Tutorial

by EuanM

Thank you for the kind words, Stephane. Here is my vision. 1) Commercial uptake, with an ongoing upwards growth trend 2) Thriving community of developers, with an ongoing upwards trend. 3) A platform with sufficient stability for commercial use, to provide 1) 4) A platform with sufficient stability for adequate documentation (i.e. documentation which correctly describes the system) - that leads to sufficient levels of interest to provide 1) and 2). (Documention requires refactoring, maintenance and expansion, just as the code-base segment of the system does. This means it requires time and attention. Which is easier if the community is thriving and growing). The important point of any vision is that it is realised. That requires sufficient people and activity, which is why I think the two visions are both important to one another. However, it is a chicken-and-egg problem. Chicken-and-egg problems are hard. (http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000054.html) The same issue has come up within the erlang community. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MvKLOecT1I ) I won't address the questions posed - except to say I don't think they are as rhetorical as people might think.

Rodrigo, That screen means you're going fine. Next thing is to select an image in the left and click on the play button to open it.
