Territorial loading problems & alternative ways of loading data for making a choropleth map
by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas Nov. 3, 2017

Nov. 3, 2017

Hi, I would like a choropleth map of Colombian departments [1]. The first approach would be to use Territorial, but loading it is not working on Pharo 6.1 (used on Manjaro Linux): It doesn't appears in the Catalog, Gopher load gives me: "XMLFileException: File does does not exist: /home/offray/Programas/Pharo/6.1a/Dev24/territorial_files/fao/fao_country_names.xml" and loading Monticello bleeding edge gives me "FileDoesNotExist: File @ /home/offray/Programas/Pharo/6.1a/Dev24/territorial_files/opengeocode/wc-ASCII.csv". There is another way to make such choropleth map? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Departments_of_Colombia Thanks, Offray

Extending Calypso
by Juraj Kubelka Nov. 2, 2017

Nov. 2, 2017

Hi, Are there any examples (documentation) how to extend Calipso? I have tried to create a simple (demo) method group, but I miss something, because it is not called. I have created three subclasses of: ClyMethodGroup (with #name and #includesMethod:), ClySingleMethodGroupProvider (with #methodGroupClass), and ClyEnvironmentPlugin (with #collectMethodGroupProvidersFor:). What do I miss? Letâs say that I want a new method group that displays all methods of a selected class that include substring âfooâ. Thanks! Juraj

Permancy of booklet links

This link turned up in a google search on... Web Scraping Pharo, which is great, http://files.pharo.org/books-pdfs/booklet-Scraping/2017-09-29-scrapingbook.… but with the date I'm wondering how permanent the link is, for if I use it the respond to someone's question in a forum? Will you be keeping years of pdfs? For now I'll just use the directory url, but future missing files will frustrate user searches. Perhaps a sitemap is needed (though I'm not familiar with the details)... https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/183668?hl=en cheers -ben

I knew that it was when pushing my code, that's mean that the commit was well done. So I pushed it from my Terminal. I went to my Pharo local repository and I tapped git status then git push. After that in iceberg ,setting I introduced my user name and password. so that he remembered me. And it work from my VM no need to go to the Terminal.

Re: [Pharo-users] Exchanging information between 2 pharo applications (2 images running on two different computers)
by Paulo R. Dellani Nov. 2, 2017

Dear all, I would like to give ZeroMQ a try in Smalltalk, but am unable to load it on a new image successfully. In Pharo 5, I loaded the package ConfigurationOfZeroMQ from therepository in smalltalkhub <http://smalltalkhub.com/#%21/%7Epanuw/zeromq> and evaluated the following to load the code: ConfigurationOfZeroMQ loadBleedingEdge It seems to load everything well, but when I try to look at the source code of the methods that call the C routines from libzmq using the system browser, the system exhibits the following error message: UndefinedObject(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand: #keywords RBFFICallPragma(RBPragmaNode)>>selectorParts RubSHTextStylerST80(SHRBTextStyler)>>visitPragmaNode: RBFFICallPragma(RBPragmaNode)>>acceptVisitor: RubSHTextStylerST80(SHRBTextStyler)>>visitNode: [ :each | self visitNode: each ] in RubSHTextStylerST80>>visitMethodNode: in Block: [ :each | self visitNode: each ] OrderedCollection>>do: (its a long stack, cutting here) When loading ZeroMQ on Pharo 6, a window pops-up with the title 'Syntax Error: Literal constant expected' showing the source code of a method defining a call to a routine from a C library: apiDeleteDC: aHDC Â Â Â <apicall: Literal constant expected -> bool 'DeleteDC' (Win32HDC) module:'gdi32.dll'> Â Â Â ^self externalCallFailed If I update the syntax, re-writing the code above as apiDeleteDC: aHDC Â Â Â ^self ffiCall: #( bool DeleteDC (Win32HDC aHDC) ) module:'gdi32.dll' the compiler accepts it and the process can go on, but eventually the system will become unstable... Any ideas on how to solve this problems? Is this syntax still supported in Pharo5 & 6?

What is code 137 / how to gracefully shut down via SIGTERM?
by Herby VojÄÃk Nov. 1, 2017

Nov. 1, 2017

Hi, I had to find out how to automatically deploy the backend written in Pharo, and so far it uses docker-compose stop to stop the instance (and later docker-compose up -d to get everything up again). I noticed the stop phase takes a while and ends with status code 137. I presume it ended forcefully and not gracefully. What is the idiomatic way to wait on SIGTERM and close the process gracefully? Thanks, Herby

Hi during the last sprint we were brainstorming how we can help people to understand the git hub setup. I produced these two diagrams with christophe. Are they useful for you? Stef
