Drastically improving the messageNotUnderstood title
by stepharong Dec. 7, 2016

Dec. 7, 2016

Hi guys As I exposed newbies to our wonderfull debugger I think that we should change MessageNotUnderstood: Class>>#message into an instance of Class did not understand message To me this simple change would have a HUGE impact on making the debugger first contact a lot more friendly. Any taker? I'm off with a company today. Stef --

Brisbane meet up
by Jeff Gray Dec. 7, 2016

Dec. 7, 2016

I was poking around the internet wondering if there are many smalltalkers in Brisbane (where I live) and came across a group in Meetup.com. There's a monthly meeting and I've signed up. I'm looking forward to seeing what goes on. Turns out there's 36 in the group. I don't know if they all meet but good to know there are more of us out there :-) -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Brisbane-meet-up-tp4925969.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Debugger and stepping over a function that will have a DNU
by Holger Freyther Dec. 6, 2016

Dec. 6, 2016

Hi, before I try to reproduce this exactly I wondered if the following is a known issue with Pharo5. If I am in the debugger and try to step over a message send and that would generate a DNU, Pharo starts taking 99% cpu time. If I use CMD+./CTRL+. to interrupt it doesn't really work either. I get it to repaint the screen once and see a lot of message boxes with errors but the system remains unresponsive. Is that known? holger

Mustache and section
by Hilaire Dec. 6, 2016

Dec. 6, 2016

Hello, While iterating within a Mustache section is it possible to refer to a tag defined out of the list. For example, is it possible to do so: templateString := 'A list of numbers {{#list}} Number {{label}} : {{number}} <= #label in section {{/list}}'. context := { 'label' -> 'fine. 'list' -> { { 'number' -> 1 } asDictionary. { 'number' -> 2 } asDictionary. } } asDictionary to get output as: 'A list of numbers Number fine: 1 Number fine: 2 ' So far in my attempt the #label tag is not processed. Am I interpreting something wrongly? Thanks Hilaire -- Dr. Geo http://drgeo.eu

NeoCSVWriter automatic quotes
by Peter Uhnak Dec. 5, 2016

Dec. 5, 2016

Hi, is it/would it be possible to modify NeoCSVWriter to add quotes only where necessary? So only if the written value contains the separator (is there any other case that would require the quotes?). Thanks, Peter

Pharo Launcher and 64bit VM
by Gour Dec. 5, 2016

Dec. 5, 2016

Hello, I was playing with Pharo some time ago, but postponed it a bit until seeing 64bit version...on Slack got info that 64bit VM is "very usable (as far as you do not use athens)" so I'd appreciate if someone can point me to some clear instructions how to install it (I'm on Fedora Linux)? Is it possible to have PharoLaucnher along with 64bit VM? Sincerely, Gour -- One who is not disturbed in mind even amidst the threefold miseries or elated when there is happiness, and who is free from attachment, fear and anger, is called a sage of steady mind.

Hi Peter, >> Gofer new >> smalltalkhubUser: 'Pier' project: 'Pillar'; >> configuration; >> loadDevelopment. Loads perfectly, and (as expected) loads fine with the new Metacello api: Metacello new configuration: 'Pillar'; repository: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/Pier/Pillar/mainâ <http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/Pier/Pillar/main%E2%80%99>; version: #development; load. >> Gofer new >> url:'http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/phm/PierLoadExperiment/main <http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/phm/PierLoadExperiment/main>'; >> package: 'ConfigurationOfPierLoadExperiment'; >> load. >> ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfPierLoadExperiment) project version: >> #stable) load. Fails for me with: Name not found: Seaside-Pharo-Development However it does load with the new api: Metacello new configuration: 'PierLoadExperiment'; repository: 'http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/phm/PierLoadExperiment/main <http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/phm/PierLoadExperiment/main>'; version: #stable; load. Havenât looked into why the Gofer load isnât working, but since itâs working with the new API, I donât think we need to worry. >> Gofer new >> url:'http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/phm/PierLoadExperimentChanges/main <http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/phm/PierLoadExperimentChanges/main>'; >> package: 'ConfigurationOfPierLoadExperimentChanges'; >> load. >> ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfPierLoadExperimentChanges) project >> version: #stable) load.

I saw a few errors in the Pillar tests, but itâs been about a year since I last looked at Pier/Pillar so Iâm not sure what to expect right now. I loaded the Magritte tests, then loaded Pier-Tests-Model, Pier-Tests-Security, and Pier-Tests-Seaside-Model, and found 997 run, 993 passes, 0 skipped, 0 expected failures, 4 failures, 0 errors, 0 unexpected passes. Will be on leave for xmas from the end of next week so Iâll have more time to look into this. Cheers, J PS. FYI Just realised I was running all this in Pharo6

Hi peter I do not know but I would love that it would work. I should find some time to do a new pass on pillar. On my first todo: - fix use of DNU instead of plain magritte methods. - extract object out of the command line. - document, document and document. Stef Le 10/11/16 Ã 22:34, Peter H.
