Re: [Pharo-users] How can I know if a file is being written by another process?

by Sergio Fedi

I don't know, but I would check the API of the SO you are under, and see how the FileReference is implemented and how to call the API method. With some luck, it has already been implemented. â

How can I know if a file is being written by another process?

by Sebastian Tleye

Hi, I want to read a file that is created by an external process. I need to read this file after the external process is finished. I have an instance of FileReference to this file. Is it possible to know if the file is being written or it is closed? thanks. SebastiÃ¡n

Could you document your best practices? For me the tool would need to do the following: - Ask for the template from a local repository (or remote repository). - The template can be any existing smalltalk project, which has a metacello configuration. - Take that template and rename all class prefixes to a new one. For example TPLObject (template) to ABCObject (in a customer project called "ABC"). - Create all those classes in their renamed categories (From "Template-Models" to "ABC-Models") - Create an entry in monticello - Create a metacello configuration and load it to load all the dependencies (i.e. Seaside, etc.) - Create some static folders and files (for instance CSS files in a "web_root" folder) - Run a template specific smalltalk script before and after the generation. (To show some info or make decisions) But back to your question: The "best practices" would be in the templates, actually. Every developer could store his preferred templates or even share them. For me this would be for example a template named "Standard web application: Seaside, no database" which would include the following: a ABCDatabase (holds all persisted collections of model objects), ABCModelObject (base class for model objects), ABCHelper (misc tiny utility methods), ABCMailer (sending mails), ABCWaComponent (seaside component base class), ABCDataMigrator (for storing deployment migration steps), and so on... > > On 27 May 2015 at 13:37, Andreas Brodbeck <dassi(a)mindclue.ch> wrote: > >> Hi all >> >> [...] -- Andreas Brodbeck www.mindclue.ch

I have the same itch for simple images; get.pharo.org and PharoLauncher nearly scratch it, except that I work mostly from the terminal. For instance I'd like to be able to quickly rebuild an image from a configuration, with some workspaces, setting up some MC repositories, etc. For seaside apps I guess you'd want some standard directories and files to be created as well. Could you document your best practices?

I find google's "define" particularly helpful...e.g. google "define ambient" or "define ambience".

Idea: Pharo application scaffold kickstarter

by Andreas Brodbeck

Hi all I get used to Pharo more and more, and I am using it for all my new customer projects. So far, all of my (seaside) applications are all architectured around some of my best practices and architecturally look all pretty the same. I was wondering if there is something existing to help me getting kickstarted with a new customer application in Pharo, instead of repeatingly copy/pasting manually from another project? Something for kickstarting a new application scaffold, based on a "best practices application template" (to be chosen out of many from a repository locally or even remotely shared from other developers). Something like a "Pharo application scaffold kickstarter". I did some research and did not find anything so far. What are your thoughts around this topic? Cheers, Andreas -- Andreas Brodbeck www.mindclue.ch

I always thought that "environment" and "ambient" were synonyms, but it turns out that the second one is an adjective.

I had to reinstall pharo-laucher, to be able to get pharo 5 image. Also it seems the problem with the missing changes file still is there. Thanks for the help.
