suggestions mini-pane shut up
by Raffaello Giulietti Feb. 28, 2017

Feb. 28, 2017

Hi, I find the suggestions mini-pane that appears under a method code rather useless and distracting. I perfectly know that I'm an idiot, so there's no need for the tool to keep reminding me how smart it is instead. Is there a way to get rid of it?

Windows automation [os-windows]
by lw1990 Feb. 27, 2017

Feb. 27, 2017

I'm interested in using pharo to automate the windows operating system through the windows API. I found a package called os-windows, which has a lot of this functionality but also a lot is missing, I want to help add more - how is this done? Specifically I want to be able to: Move the Windows cursor on the desktop relative to the screen size Move the Windows cursor relative to the active window on any active window, not just the console Monitor all hardware keyboard activity (respond to hotkeys in any application) Send keystrokes to any target window or window control (such as an edit control) Get control information from external windows, such as the contents of an edit control, or the label of an edit control, or the hwnd of the edit control, etc. Ability to do DllCalls (which opens a lot of functionality in Windows, such as sending windows messages that can activate menu items in third party desktop applications). All of this functionality and more comes from the windows scripting language AutoHotkey (https://autohotkey.com/) I'm looking to make much of the AutoHotkey functionality available in Pharo, so that I can use Pharo instead of Autohotkey. AutoHotkey is implemented under-the-hood with the C language and is open source, so I can see how they made their functions work, I would like to port this to Pharo. Can anyone could shed some light on this process, is it even practical to do this? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Windows-automation-os-windows-tp4936229.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Request for help: Please upload test results of your foss projects
by Holger Freyther Feb. 27, 2017

Feb. 27, 2017

Good Afternoon! one thing I was missing with travis-ci is a graph for the executed unit tests. In Jenkins there is the Junit plugin that will search for xml files and then provide a table view and a graph. I found this quite useful and it helped me to see that I once accidentally disabled the execution of many tests. For modern CI systems there doesn't seem to be such a feature and I started to scratch my own itch and have built one. The backend is built using Pharo5, a python client for the upload and some very basic frontend code using reactjs. The name of the service is "bob-bench.org" and I would be very happy if you could modify your .travis.yml to upload test results to it. The current main feature is to provide a simple "badge" that lists the number of tests (or failures/errors ) and can be put into the README.md next to your build status. More features are planned but if you have ideas feel free to drop me an email. Documentation: http://benchupload.readthedocs.io Example usage: https://github.com/moiji-mobile/smsc Project overview: https://bob-bench.org/r/gh/moiji-mobile/smsc looking forward to more uploads holger

Which is the best way of opening a PDF and HTML local files from Pharo
by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas Feb. 26, 2017

Feb. 26, 2017

Hi, I'm trying to open some local files from Pharo. They're in PDF and HTML format. I thought that I could use WebBrowser, so it can delegate to the browser opening the files, without any other requirement, but is not working. There is a better way to open such files from several platforms? Cheers, Offray

Fast Table causes Instances of Matrix are not indexable?
by Alistair Grant Feb. 26, 2017

Feb. 26, 2017

Hi All, I've just upgrade from Pharo 60395 to 60411 and am now unable to inspect instances of Matrix. I think I read somewhere that the GTInspector is now using fast tables, and am guessing that it is this change that is causing the problem. I've included code below to reproduce the problem and a stack trace. The sample code creates a 3 x 3 matrix. FTTableContainerMorph>>updateExposedRows suggests that the matrix is being treated as a one-dimensional collection: self owner numberOfRows => 9 "expected 3" self owner numberOfColumns => 1 "expected 3" I'll keep investigating, but if someone more familiar can point me in the right direction, any hints will be appreciated. Thanks, Alistair Pharo 6.0 Latest update: #60411 OS: 4.9.8-1-ARCH | m | m := Matrix rows: 3 columns: 3. 1 to: 3 do: [ :i | 1 to: 3 do: [ :j | m at: i at: j put: 'C', i printString, j printString ] ]. m inspect Matrix(Object)>>error: Matrix(Object)>>errorNotIndexable Matrix(Object)>>at: GLMFastListDataSource(FTSimpleDataSource)>>elementAt: GLMFastListDataSource>>cellColumn:row: FTTableContainerMorph>>updateExposedRows FTTableMorph>>resetPosition FTTableMorph>>resizeAllSubviews FTTableMorph>>extent: FTTableMorph(Morph)>>bounds: FTTableMorph(Morph)>>layoutInBounds: FTTableMorph(Morph)>>layoutProportionallyIn: [ :m | m layoutProportionallyIn: newBounds ] in ProportionalLayout>>layout:in: in Block: [ :m | m layoutProportionallyIn: newBounds ] Array(SequenceableCollection)>>do: GLMPanelMorph(Morph)>>submorphsDo: ProportionalLayout>>layout:in: GLMPanelMorph(Morph)>>doLayoutIn: [ self doLayoutIn: self layoutBounds ] in GLMPanelMorph(Morph)>>computeFullBounds in Block: [ self doLayoutIn: self layoutBounds ] BlockClosure>>on:do: GLMPanelMorph(Morph)>>computeFullBounds GLMPanelMorph(Morph)>>fullBounds [ :m | | subBox | m visible ifTrue: [ subBox := m fullBounds. box ifNil: [ box := subBox copy ] ifNotNil: [ box := box quickMerge: subBox ] ] ] in GLMPanelMorph(Morph)>>submorphBounds in Block: [ :m | ...
