loading Coral from SmalltalkHub
by Francisco Garau June 7, 2015

June 7, 2015

Hello, I've tried loading Coral by following the below instructions in its website <http://rmod.lille.inria.fr/coral/getting-started.html> but they failed when trying to load Readline. Gofer new url: 'http://ss3.gemstone.com/ss/coral'; package: 'ConfigurationOfCoral'; load. ConfigurationOfCoral loadDevelopment. It seems the project was moved to Smalltalk Hub ( http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~PharoExtras/Coral/) What expressions should I evaluate in a Pharo5 image to get the latest Coral project loaded. Thanks, Francisco

Protocol selection erratic behaviour
by Sergio Fedi June 6, 2015

June 6, 2015

When creating a method in the debugger, when the select protocol pop up window appears, sometimes it finds the protocol we want (getter) and sometimes it doesn't and we have to type it all and add it as if it was new. Is this something normal and my expectations are off? Or is this a bug?

collectionDo: vs. collection do:
by Peter UhnÃ¡k June 5, 2015

June 5, 2015

Hi, is there some best practice about collectionDo: versus collection do: ? I see many times the first used (e.g. String>>linesDo:); I see a benefit if there is no accessor to the collection, but more times than not there actually is. >From my perspective it further pollutes the protocol and as a user of such method I will never be sure what to actually use without looking at the implementation to see if there is any actual difference. So is there some consensus on this? Thanks, Peter

Proposed enhancements to get.pharo.org
by Jason Rogers June 4, 2015

June 4, 2015

I have a simple suggestion for the ZeroConf Bash scripts. The suggestion is to automatically discern the image that the scripts use. E.g. For the pharo script: https://gist.github.com/jacaetevha/7c4206d2cfadd54a492c#file-pharo For the pharo-ui script: https://gist.github.com/jacaetevha/7c4206d2cfadd54a492c#file-pharo-ui I tried to bring this up in the IRC channel, but things seem pretty quiet there. I'm not sure where to post this, so I'm just posting it here. -- Jason Rogers

case-insensitive regexp
by Usman Bhatti June 4, 2015

June 4, 2015

Hi, Some regular expression engines include support for /i flag that makes the regexp case-insensitive. In Pharo, regexp matcher can be setup to be case-insensitive (e.g. 'mypattern' asRegexIgnoringCase). But once a matcher is setup as case-senstive, can we provide a pattern to make its search case-insensitive using the /i (or a similar flag) in Pharo? regards. usman

Timezone offset in Date, why?
by Esteban A. Maringolo June 3, 2015

June 3, 2015

I'm debugging the PostgresV3 driver for GLORP, and among other test failures, there is a kind that particularly bugs me: two identical dates do not match, the reason? The internal "start" of aDate (Timespan) is a DateAndTime, and as such has a timezone offset. Is this conceptually right? Esteban A. Maringolo
