I know we have Travis support for GH. Does anyone have glue for CI-Support in BitBucket? I'm specifically wondering about private reposâ¦ ----- Cheers, Sean -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

[ann] moldable editor - documenter and examples without pragma magic
by Tudor Girba Sept. 1, 2017

Sept. 1, 2017

Hi, When we announced the GT Documenter as an application for the moldable editor, one of the remarks was that GT Examples implementation relies too much on pragma magic. We are now happy to announce that this is no longer the case because Andrei did a great job and rebuilt examples without the need for static pragmas for specifying dependencies. So, now we can example dependencies simply through normal calls: emptyView <gtExample> ^ GtMondrian new twoNodes <gtExamples> view := self emptyView view nodes with: {1 . 2} ... and the engine can figure out the static dependencies. This means that examples can be used both as plain unary methods, and as replacement for tests. We think this should address the worry of examples being too heavy (the current implementation is ~350 lines). With a bit of extra effort, we also adapted GT Documenter to expand the example dependencies as seen below. This means that examples can now be used directly as units of documentation as well. We think this is significant. Cheers, The feenk team -- www.tudorgirba.com www.feenk.com "We are all great at making mistakes."

Code mystery
by PBKResearch Sept. 1, 2017

Sept. 1, 2017

Hello All Following the discussion on dark mode, I was browsing the code on themes (in Moose 6.1 = Pharo 6.0, Latest update: #60486). In Class ThemeIcons, I found this method: downloadTo: dir | zipArchive | zipArchive := self class destinationPath / (self name, '.zip'). zipArchive exists ifFalse: [ ZnClient new url: self url; downloadTo: zipArchive ]. ^ zipArchive The mystery is that the argument dir is not referred to anywhere in the code. It probably works, because the only invocation of the method is from ThemeIcons>>downloadFromUrl, which sets the argument from self class destinationPath, and the code above recreates this as the path to zipArchive. I thought I understood Smalltalk coding fairly well, but this really puzzles me. Why would anyone code like this? Shouldn't it be picked up by a code critic? Or am I going crazy? Any help gratefully received Peter Kenny

[Pillar][editor][Pharo 6.1] How do I get to work 'Transform code snippets to new format'?
by H. Hirzel Sept. 1, 2017

Sept. 1, 2017

Hello In a pristine Pharo 6.0/6.1 image I installed Pillar [1]. The editor for Pillar code works fine. It includes a menu entry 'Transform code snippets to new format' If I choose this entry a debug window appears [2]. It seems that I need to install an additional package. Which one and how do I do that? Thank you in advance Hannes [1] Not through the catalog but with Metacello new smalltalkhubUser: 'Pier' project: 'Pillar'; configuration: 'Pillar'; version: #stable; load. This version comes with a Pillar editor. The version in the catalog seems to be older and does not contain a Pillar editor.
