September 2015 - Pharo-users

[Ann] Phratch 4.1 is here !

by jannik laval

Based on Phratch 4.0 we made some bug fixes and added new small features. Phratch is now on top of Pharo 4.0. The new features are: - languages are more stable. Thanks to the community for the feedback and the enhancement of the language files. - Add a "follow" option that allows one to see which block is currently executed. Phratch 4.1 is already available on phratch.com. If you detect an issue, you can submit a description on https://github.com/janniklaval/phratch/issues And you can always download the latest build on the continuous integration server: https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/view/Phratch/ See you on phratch.com -- ~~Jannik Laval~~ Enseignant-chercheur IUT LumiÃ¨re <http://iut.univ-lyon2.fr/>, UniversitÃ© Lyon LumiÃ¨re <http://www.univ-lyon2.fr/> laboratoire DISP <http://disp-lab.fr/> http://www.jannik-laval.eu http://www.phratch.com http://www.approchealpes.info

Somehow it solved itself automagically. :-) Cheers, Offray On 15/09/15 08:39, Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas wrote: > Hi, > > I was coding today and after creating a method with only the name and > a comment and trying to save it I started to get this message: > "ShouldNotImplement: #add: should not have been implemented in Array". > I don't see anything related to my code that can be generating this. > The environment is still working, but the message is annoying.

I would guess that happened because the packages weren't already loaded in the image prior to Pharo4.0 ... During a Metacello load there are two passes made a `fetch` and `load` pass ... the `fetch` pass produces a loadDirective and the `load` pass executes the loadDirective ... the `record` command (without `ignoreImage: true`) simply runs the `fetch` pass and returns the loadDirective (it also doesn't bother fetching the packages) I do it this way so that the same code is used whether you are doing a `fetch` or a `record` and reduces the changes for you to get different results from both commands ...

For example the "theme" folder in Ecstatic ? > Yes! For example a common use for a book can be: "support" : [ "support", "**/Figures" ] This will include the folder `support` with the templates, css etc. For the LaTeX export we create some symlinks to the outputDirectory named `root`, this allow to use "\include{root/support}{myTeXFile.tex}". This will also include all the folders named `Figures`. For example if you have `baseDirectory/chap1/Figures` and `baseDirectory/Annexes/A/c/Figures` you will get `outputDirectory/chap1/Figures` and `outputDirectory/Annexes/A/c/Figures`. You can also use "Chap#/Figures" to take only the Figures folder inside `Chap1`, `Chap2`, `Chap3`â¦ > > Some minor feedback on PillarChap doc... > > * In part "3.8 Pictures", consider leaving the colon off the end of this line... > To include a picture, use the syntax +caption>file://filename|parameters+: > since it confused me for a moment whether it was part of the syntax. > > * Minor grammatical correction... > A slide end at the beginning of an other slide or at the end of > the document. > A slide ends at the beginning of another slide or at the end of > the document. > > > Now I'm a bit late to the party following 1.0.0 release, but I have > one criticism and one enhancement suggestion... > > * The syntax @@subscript@@ is very close to @@annotation.
