Glorp with PostgresV2 on Pharo 4
by Pierce Ng April 5, 2015

April 5, 2015

I'm on a roll. :-) I've written another blog post on installing Glorp with PostgresV2 on Pharo 4. To avoid this message looking like spam mail promoting my blog and devoid of content, here's the slightly edited blog post, in its original Markdown format sans JSON metadata. Outside of Smalltalk, create the database 'sodbxtest', user 'sodbxtest' with password 'sodbxtest': # su postgres -c psql postgres=# create role sodbxtest with password 'sodbxtest' login; CREATE ROLE postgres=# create database sodbxtest; CREATE DATABASE postgres=# \q # In Smalltalk, firstly, install PostgresV2: Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'PharoExtras' project: 'PostgresV2'; package: 'ConfigurationOfPostgresV2'; load. ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfPostgresV2) project version: '2.4') load. Open Test Runner and runs the PostgresV2 tests. On my Linux Mint machine, using a vanilla PostgreSQL 9.3 installation, 23 of 24 tests passed, and TestPGConnection>>#testNotify2 erred. Now that we know the PostgresV2 driver can talk to our database, using the Monticello browser, open the PostgresV2 repository and load the package GlorpDriverPostgreSQL. Here I had to edit NativePostgresDriver>>connectionArgsFromCurrentLogin: to comment out the second last line: connectionArgs clientEncoding: aLogin encodingStrategy asSymbol This is because GlorpDatabaseLoginResource class>defaultPostgreSQLLocalLogin does not specify encodingStrategy, meaning it is nil and will respond to #asSymbol with DNU. Next, in a playground, execute the following: GlorpDemoTablePopulatorResource invalidateSetup. GlorpDatabaseLoginResource defaultLogin: GlorpDatabaseLoginResource defaultPostgreSQLLocalLogin Open Test Runner and run the Glorp tests. Tested on Linux Mint 17.

Re: [Pharo-users] Converting a string containing dots to integer
by Cyril Ferlicot April 5, 2015

If it's for the thousand you can use that: (myStringNumber copyWithoutAll: '.') asNumber To find this kind of methods you can use the finder (world -> Tools). You select "example" and you search for things like : '1.234'.'.'.'1234' and that will give you: '1.234' copyWithoutAll: '.' first -> '1234' -- Cheers Cyril Ferlicot On 5 April 2015 at 01:43, Benoit St-Jean via Pharo-users < pharo-users(a)lists.pharo.org> wrote: > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Benoit St-Jean <bstjean(a)yahoo.com> > To: Any question about pharo is welcome <pharo-users(a)lists.pharo.org> > Cc: > Date: Sat, 4 Apr 2015 23:40:01 +0000 (UTC) > Subject: Re: [Pharo-users] Converting a string containing dots to integer > Do you have more details? > > Such as, do you have values with more than one dot ?

Converting a string containing dots to integer
by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas April 4, 2015

April 4, 2015

Hi all, I'm parsing some text which contains numbers like "8.324" and I would like to convert it to integer. The problem is that asNumber and asInteger don't make the trick because of the dot ("."), which is there to indicate thousands, not decimal values. Which is the proper message to send? Cheers, Offray

NeoCSV and big files
by Serge Stinckwich April 4, 2015

April 4, 2015

Dear all, We are currently setup a small ROASSAL team to participate to #Datathon Data for Development: http://simplon.co/datathon-data-for-development-rdv-les-7-et-8-avril-a-mont… We are looking to ways to be able to load big CSV table in a Pharo image. Apparently the size of some CSV files provided will be huge (around 5 Go for one month of data). The format of the data are describe here: http://arxiv.org/abs/1407.4885 Is this possible with NeoCSV, to read only a fraction of the lines regarding some conditions ? If some people want to help online, we can organize a chat to organize us. Regards, -- Serge Stinckwich UCBN & UMI UMMISCO 209 (IRD/UPMC) Every DSL ends up being Smalltalk http://www.doesnotunderstand.org/

[ANN] New service: The Pharo catalog
by Esteban Lorenzano April 4, 2015

April 4, 2015

Hi, Last week I made a super small project to consolidate all projects published in all metarepos. Is very simple, in the style of smalltalkhub repository list, but it shows all projects with the info their owners provided. Yes, it could be a lot better, but we do not want to lose much time with this because not far in the future (but not right now) we will put online a much better service :) You can see the catalog here: http://catalog.pharo.org <http://catalog.pharo.org/> and a JSON variant here: http://catalog.pharo.org/catalog/json <http://catalog.pharo.org/catalog/json> enjoy, Esteban

how to properly create icons
by Peter UhnÃ¡k April 4, 2015

April 4, 2015

Hi, I've been using using ThemeIcons>>createIconMethodsFromFile:directory: method to create my own icons, however there are some reported problems https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/15277/some-icons-from-ThemeIcons-are-brok… with the code it generates. My questions are: 1) what exactly is the problem with the generated code? 2) what would then be the correct way to generate it? Glamorous (Moose) icons seem to use different format (using byte array instead of Base64), but I do not see any code that would generate those methods. Thanks, Peter

This means having a look at the issue tracker to find some issue that are interesting to work on could be an idea. Maybe a trello board could be used to sync for the remote sprinters. Marcus

Loading specific commits from ConfigurationOf
by Peter UhnÃ¡k April 4, 2015

April 4, 2015

Hi, is it possible to depend on a specific commit instead of preconfigured? For example I would like to load Roassal2, where one of the packages is Trachel, and I want to load 'Trachel-AlexandreBergel.265'. Currently I have in my ConfigurationOfMyProject ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ project: 'Roassal2' with: [ spec className: #ConfigurationOfRoassal2; versionString: #'development'; repository: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/ObjectProfile/Roassal2/main/' ]; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I could replace versionString: with one of the specified in ConfigurationOfRoassal2, however the newest one is too old, and #development is too new. So is it possible for me to specify what versions of the packages will be loaded? Thanks, Peter
