Re: [Pharo-users] Other format to Filetree

Vitor Medina Cruz wrote: > I was wondering: is there another format available for Filetree? Hi Vitor, I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for. The current package formats in Pharo are, as you probably know, Filetree and MCZ (Monticello archives). I find Filetree easier to use, managing source code in Git. >From Filetree was developed Cypress, which is very similar, and intended to be compatible across different Smalltalk dialects. I'm working on a second version of the Cypress standard, which will have two basic formats: file-per-method, similar to the current Cypress, and a file-per-class format. The two formats will be logically equivalent, but each has strengths and weaknesses regarding the tools they work with. I hope this answers some of what you were looking for. Further questions are welcome. Regards, -Martin

[ANN] ZÃ¼rich Smalltalk Meetup Nov 8th, 2016
by jtuchel＠objektfabrik.de Oct. 20, 2016

Oct. 20, 2016

There are great news about the upcoming Smalltalkerâs Meetup in ZÃ¼rich. Weâve found a conference room for the evening and will start off with a âshow us your projectâ session in a room with a big screen and start the social part after your input at a nice Australian Steakhouse. The best thing is: we already have a first session: Michal is going to show his new Gemstone-based persistence framework for Pharo. It can be used to develop in Pharo and keep your objects stored in Gemstone. We need your input This new setup with a meeting room adds more value to all of us: we can now not only talk about each othersâ epxeriences and porjects, but see what theyâre up to and what they found. So to make this event an even better one than before, we need people whoâd like to share their ideas, their latest work on some hobby or professional project. Thereâs no need for a full-fledged sales pitch with fog and visual effects and such, just bring your laptop and show us what you do! The room is reserved for ca. 1 hour, so we can have, say, 2-3 presentations before we leave for beer and steaks. So if you have something interesting to show or would like to find people to join on some early project youâre starting/planning, give us a chance to learn about it. If youâve built some interesting tool or use Smalltalk for something very special to you, let us know and share your fascination and ideas. Weâll sure appreciate that! But if you spontaneously decide you want to show something or start some discussion, feel free to do so. You just need to be prepared that we might have to leave the room before itâs your turn. Timeslots are limited. It would be good if youâd pre-announce your demo to me for two reasons: first, we can see if we need to rent tho room for a little longer, but even better, your topic might attract even more people so I can post your topic and make sure people get the message. So where and when? Weâll meet at 7pm on Nov 8th, 2016 at Alpha Sprachwelt AG <http://alphasprachwelt.ch/kontakt.html> Stadelhoferstrasse 10 8001 ZÃ¼rich Around 8-8:30 pm weâll walk over to the Outback Lodge where weâve reserved a table. With Steaks and Drinks we can discuss ideas, talk about the good old times or do some spontaneous hacking. For directions to the Lodge visit http://www.outback-lodge.ch/index.php/stadelhofen How to register? How much is it? This is a meetup of friends, so itâs free to come, we look forward to meeting you and keeping in touch. You pay your meal and drinks, but the rest is free. We ask you to register on our Doodle page at http://doodle.com/poll/c9c7tatwqppyhkhq Please also indicate in a comment to your registration if you want to give a short presentation. See you soon in ZÃ¼rich!

GitLab and Pharo
by Dimitris Chloupis Oct. 20, 2016

Oct. 20, 2016

I have been looking for an alternative to Github to host my private repos, Github provides only 1 private repo and for more you have to pay. So I found this. https://gitlab.com/ Gitlab has all the features of Github with additional advantages that is completely free and you can have as many private repos as you want. Also in terms of space , its unlimited with a limit of 10 GB per repo which makes it an excellent choice for binary files. You can have unlimited repos (the hard limit is at 100.000 repos per user which you wont reach any time soon ) A recent advantage that I discovered is that like Github , Gitlab allows you to host your own website via Gitlab pages https://pages.gitlab.io/ The cool thing about this is that it comes with CI , which is highly configurable which means you can even make it work with Pillar. The website part can mix with existing code, meaning you can keep on the same repo the code of your pharo projects and documentation in form of website. Gitlab pages support a wide variety of static website generators , the on the interests me is gitbook https://www.gitbook.com/ Gitbook is interesting because it comes with its own Editor you can download as a native client that handles the writing of the book / documentation and pushing and committing to the repo https://www.gitbook.com/editor Both Gitlab and Gitbook are free software that means they can be installed in any Pharo server and customised to whatever you want I made an example here. https://gitlab.com/Kilon/testbook The gitbook documentation is hosted in the pages branch which is a nice clean way to isolate documentation from project's code but also you could alternative have everything in master and put documentation in a doc folder. You can fine tune such setup with the corresponding yaml setup file as can see here https://gitlab.com/Kilon/testbook/blob/pages/.gitlab-ci.yml The website generated by this repo can be viewed here https://kilon.gitlab.io/testbook/ obviously you can also add anything that is in HTML/JS which make this ideal for blog, main websites, application frontends and pretty much everything you can imagine and because GitLab allows for unlimited amount of repos you can have unlimited amount of websites. Have fun :)

new themoosebook.org - work in progress
by Tudor Girba Oct. 20, 2016

Oct. 20, 2016

Hi, I am working on a new The Moose Book. You can see the current draft here: http://themoosebook.org In the current form, it covers about 40% of what I want to have at the end. My target is to get a first complete version ready until Spring 2017. The book targets Moose 6.1, although most parts will work with Moose 6.0. The book is written in Pillar. A secondary goal for this book is to build a book editor with tools in Pharo. The current book was generated directly from Pharo without using the command line. The current code is in book GitHub repository, but the end goal is to have these tools working separately from the book. Please let me know what you think. The book repo is here: https://github.com/girba/themoosebook Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com www.feenk.com "Every thing has its own flow."

How do I debug a MNU in Pharo-6.0
by Dale Henrichs Oct. 20, 2016

Oct. 20, 2016

I am trying to debug a problem that showed up loading my version of STON into Pharo-6.0. ON Travis, I see the error message[1]: MessageNotUnderstood: receiver of "ifTrue:ifFalse:" is nil The code is loading and passing tests in Pharo-5.0, 4.0, 3.0 and several versions of GemStone, so I am interested in bringing up a debugger... I cloned git@github.com:GsDevKit/ston.git and checked out the gs_port branch into the directory /export/foos1/users/dhenrich/dev/_home/server/stones/m_340/git/ston. But when I run the following code in a Pharo-6.0 image using the Playground by pressing the green arrow: Metacello new baseline: 'Ston'; repository: 'gitfiletree:///export/foos1/users/dhenrich/dev/_home/server/stones/m_340/git/ston/repository'; load: #( 'UTF8' 'Tests') I do not get the expected MNU in a debugger -- but I do see a bunch of infos popping up during the execution but they fade too quickly for me to actually read them --- there were 8 or more popups --- and I got the impression that they involved the ifTrue:ifFalse:, but danged if I know how to debug the problem ... I must have missed the memo that tells me how to get a debugger up in Pharo-6.0 ... Any advice? Dale [1] https://travis-ci.org/GsDevKit/ston/jobs/169029017#L435

CodeGenerator, your opinions?
by HernÃ¡n Morales Durand Oct. 20, 2016

Oct. 20, 2016

Hi guys, I am writing a code generator, doing a few iterations right now. I want your opinion, which most useful thing would you like to be generated automatically? It could be a pattern, an idiom, another language... For example my own wish (roadmap) list: - A "settings framework" settings class generator. - A state machine generator (based in the excellent paper of Trevor P. Hopkins) - A Spec UI generator. Let me know your thoughts. Cheers, HernÃ¡n

Default working directory
by wvzuilen Oct. 19, 2016

Oct. 19, 2016

Hi all, I'm new to Smalltalk and Pharo, so be kind ;-) I've tried Google and searching the world.st forum but I couldn't find the answer to the following question: I looks like the default working directory of my MacOS Pharo instance is a path inside the Pharo5.0.app: /Applications/Pharo5.0.app/Contents/Resources This causes that Pharo can't write to that path and soms default tests are trying to do exactly that: testFileExists | file | file := File named: 'asd.txt'. file writeStream close. self assert: file exists. file delete Of course I could edit the tests, but I would rather change the default working directory. Is this possible?
