Code critics: 'Method defined in all subclasses, but not in superclass'
by Laura Risani March 27, 2015

March 27, 2015

Hi all, If i run Critic Browser on a package with just a class that defines a method as subclassResponsibility and two subclasses that override it, i get under group 'Design Flaws' 'Method defined in all subclasses, but not in superclass'. If instead of 'self subclassResponsibility' i write anything else the critic doesn't show. Is this the expected behaviour? So, is considered an error to have a superclass without a default implementation (not subclassResponsibility) for a method? You can get example package sending Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'squidik' project: 'samples'; package: 'Critics'; load. Best, Laura

Spec TextModel
by Sven Van Caekenberghe March 27, 2015

March 27, 2015

Hi, I have a question about Spec's TextModel. How do you use it without the assumption that it contains code ? I just want to show real text and not have a code menu or active coding shortcuts. It is probably me, but I can't find it. Thx, Sven

Serving static content
by Silvia Ruiz Diaz March 26, 2015

March 26, 2015

Hi all! I'm new to Pharo and I'm trying to generate links to be able to serve some files. This is what I have so far. html anchor url:'http://localhost:8080/myApp/myFile'; with: 'Link' When clicking on any of the generated links I'm getting redirected to the application homepage, so I'm wondering if is there any additional setup I have to take care of in order to grant access to these files. My OS is Windows 64. Thanks in advance! Regards!

by Laura Risani March 26, 2015

March 26, 2015

Hi all, A time ago i posted two board games on the list and StÃ©phane said that he would like to extract from these and other ones he has gathered a framework for doing board games. So i developed a little one called 'Boardician' and implemented four little example games through it. DOCUMENTATION http://boardician.blogspot.com.ar/2015/03/boardician.html DOWNLOAD <https://www.blogger.com/null> You can install configuration BgBoardician from Configuration Browser on 3.0 and 4.0 . This will download packages of framework (BgBoardician) and example games (BgBoxPush, BgEatBullet, BgDropPiece, BgEatElongating) To run example games send EDirector new play. BPDirector new play. DPDirector new play. GDirector new play. FEEDBACK <https://www.blogger.com/null> If you like (i would really like you to) to send any feedback comments on design / names / implementation / functionalities to add / questions you can post a comment on the blog / mail me. Next i'll be adding tests and uploading development history to project's repo. Best, Laura

hardware locking an image
by Usman Bhatti March 26, 2015

March 26, 2015

Hi, Has anyone tried to hardware-lock a Pharo image? That means making Pharo image work on known hardware only, hence copying and running it on another machine would not work. I am thinking about locking with Mac address obtained through OSProcess calls. regards.

MongoTalk and Replica Sets
by phil＠highoctane.be March 25, 2015

March 25, 2015

For serious use of MongoDB, there is a need to support replica sets. At this point, the MongoClient doesn't appear to support much more than a simple mongod instance. Is there support for that anywhere ? (leaving behind the requirements for supporting GridFS and bulk operations). Python and Node drivers do have support for these. Maybe someone ported parts of them to Pharo? TIA Phil

Re: [Pharo-users] Settings browser
by Hilaire March 25, 2015

Le 25/03/2015 12:39, Alain Plantec via Pharo-users a Ã©crit : >> >> settingInputWidgetForNode: aSettingDeclaration >> ^ (aSettingDeclaration name, 'Widget') asSymbol value: self. >> > > strange that you send the #value: message to a Symbol here. > Alain It is tricky indeed, but it is the only way I found to by-pass the limitation for customized widget: as I understood it, settings browser expects one class (a type) per dedicated widget. I can latter create a dedicated class for each drop list morph I need in the settings browser, then remove this strange by-pass, I am still exploring. Nevertheless, it does not seem related to the model problem I exposed previously. Thanks Hilaire -- Dr. Geo - http://drgeo.eu iStoa - http://istoa.drgeo.eu
