"the [Dependency Injection] pattern also used to be called "third-party binding" or "third-party connect": some third party is responsible for connecting an object satisfying the service requirements of a component" This makes the subject seem less esoteric.

Re: [Pharo-users] Wiring objects, IoC and Service Locator

by Peter Uhnak

> I don't see what is special about this. You can easily arrange instance > creation order with methods on the class-side of your domain classes. I will not use the term "class", but rather a "service" (service can be just a single class, but that is not always the case). The point of inversion of control is provide the class with what is needed instead of the class creating it on it's own. Sure, you can create class-side helper, however that is very limited, such as the examples/samples as you've demonstrated. To give you an example, imagine that you have a class PeopleService that manages database of people, so it needs a connection to the database. Implemented in a naive way the class would have hard-coded credentials to a MySQL database and it would execute raw SQL queries. This works for a single class, but it creates a mess and mingles concerns; so instead you inverse the control and you provide PeopleService with e.g. a Persistence instance, which is already connected to the database; note however that you cannot just create the Persistence on the class-side, because you wouldn't even know what to instantiate (as you could e.g. use DbPersistence, FilePersistence, ...). And this is just a basic example. Imagine that the PeopleService also needs other services for it's use, and those services need more services, and you want to keep everything separated as much as possible... instantiation by hand will simply not cut it So the service locator/DI configuration (whether as annotations or in a XML file) keeps the actual classes separated from concrete instances; the service depends on abstract interfaces, not specific classes; only the conf determines the specific ones, and more often than not there will be several different configurations _at the same time_. To continue with the example you could have one config production using e.g. OraclePersistence, another for development using MySQLPersistance, another for test server using MemoryPersistence, etc. (also with different credentials, and whatnot). Keep in mind however that relates primarily to using application frameworks, where the framework mandates the control, and the framework is the one calling you, and therefore it will also provide you with necessary parts. After all you are not even creating PeopleService class, the framework instantiates it for you and gives it to another services/classes that needed it. Now I don't feel like there are many application frameworks in Pharo, maybe Seaside has something of this sorts? I guess Spec can be a bit framework-y, as the basic spec widgets do not actually know what Morphic counterparts will be created for them, and Spec looks up the actual class in a hard-coded data table (which might as well be a XML file), but that comes closer to ServiceLocator than DI (as Spec widgets should not actually communicate down to morphic). I've used dependency injection for five years at my previous work and frankly I cannot imagine living without it there, but I've never felt the need for it in Pharo. This is probably more related to working in Pharo on completely different things and writing small libraries. However I wouldn't be surprised if the liveness of Smalltalk/Pharo environment eliminated some of the problems that DI is trying to solve. But then again, there are many ways to build systems, and not all need or benefit DI/IoC. Peter > Indeed, the GTTools are set up to work with in-Image sample data.

by phil＠highoctane.be

Hi Steffen, I have created a repo on Github with the code and added you as an admin on it as well. https://github.com/Pharophile/Transducers I've put a README. md with your notes, and under packages/ you'll find 3 packages: Transducers-Core Transducers-Examples Transducers-Tests Tests is empty and Examples has the example from the mailing list. I ran the Renraku quality assistant tool and there are a few issues in the package. I did all of this in a Pharo 6 image using Iceberg. [image: Inline image 1] I guess that you can clone the repo using the Origin you see in the screenshot. I used https out of lazyness because I didn't wanted to deal with ssh keys etc. Tell me how it goes for you. I read your note about DoubleAgents for the tests, well, yeah this one we do not have. I read about it on the blog of its maker and it looked decent indeed. For the critics browser, it goes like this: [image: Inline image 2] Then look at the warnings.

At first, I was not able to reproduce the error, but then I realised that you probably don't save the content of lower left and right parts (`@.Statements).Use cmd+s to save changes. The error is raised because parser tries to parse the old code (same as in upper left part) with a method intended for rewrite rules. That should fix it.

ZnClient: how to emulate a curl command

by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas

Hi, I'm prototyping some integration between Fossil and Pharo for the creation of dynamic distributed web sites [1]. Now I would like to send some messages to store serialized STON domain objects as Fossil wiki pages. The command that makes this, using curl, is: curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"authToken": "mytoken", "payload": {"name": "foo", "content": "bar"}}' http://localhost:8081/json/wiki/create and I thought that a similar command would be the one at [2], but there is something about ZnEntity that I'm not understanding. How can I replicate the curl command using ZnClient? [1] http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Offray/Brea [2] http://ws.stfx.eu/D61ZOA1LEQNG Thanks, Offray

Need help for collecting tests usage data

by Benoit Verhaeghe

Hi everyone. I need your help. Iâm working on how pharo developers use the tests. And you are pharo developers. So I developed a plugin and I would like you to download it. You just have to execute this line in a playground Metacello new smalltalkhubUser: 'Pharo' project: 'MetaRepoForPharo60'; configuration: 'TestsUsageAnalyser'; version: #stable; get; load. You will have to do it only one time in one image. Then, if they are update itâll be done automatically and if you create a new image it will be automatically installed. The plugin will collect data on which tests you run. when. and the modifications you'll have done. Normally, it should be completely transparent for the users and the data are anonymous. If you want more details about the project or how it works, you can answer to this mail, or send me an email at benoit.verhaeghe(a)inria.fr or by using discord. Thanks a lot.

Re: [Pharo-users] How to migrate an object to a subclass of its class but with new inst vars ?

by Steven Costiou

Yes but when you do that you loose all the states from "a" (at least the values). You have to do state migration management...
