depending on a group of a BaselineOf
by Peter UhnÃ¡k March 3, 2018

March 3, 2018

Hi, I'm trying to define a dependency on a group of BaselineOf. specifically #core of github://pharo-graphics/Bloc/src. I've looked at this https://github.com/Metacello/metacello/blob/master/docs/GettingStartedWithG… which recommends using import:provides: baseline: spec <baseline> spec for: #common do: [ "Sample defines the group 'default'" spec baseline: 'Sample' with: [ spec repository: 'github://dalehenrich/Sample:master' ]. spec import: 'Sample' provides: #('default'). "OtherSample *also* defines the group 'default'" spec baseline: 'OtherSample' with: [ spec repository: 'github://dalehenrich/Sample:master' ]. spec import: 'OtherSample' provides: #('default'). "'default' can now be successfully resolved, even though both projects define the same name" spec package: 'OtherProject-Core with: [ spec requires: 'default' ] ]. However this code is confusing... both Sample & OtherSample provide `default`, so on what does `OtherProject-Core` actually depend? In the examples here https://github.com/Metacello/metacello/blob/master/docs/LockCommandReferenc… there are groups with the name of the project in them ('External Core' 'External Tests'), but this won't work if I don't control the project I am loading, plus it feels like a hackish workaround. Also, can it be unified with the way ConfigurationOf works? Thanks, Peter

Dynamically updating the inspector window
by Andy Burnett Feb. 28, 2018

Feb. 28, 2018

Is there a way to make the inspector automatically update itself, when the value it is inspecting changes? For example, if I were inspecting an array, and at:1 put: 'blah' I would like the inspector to reflect that change. I know I can get the window to update by clicking the refresh icon, I just wondered if there is a 'live' way to do this? Cheers Andy

Adding text files to a commit
by Andrew P. Black Feb. 28, 2018

Feb. 28, 2018

I have some text files that I would like to include in every commit (if they have changed since the prior commit). What is the right way to make this happen automatically? Or else I forget to add them ... Adding the files to a _separate_ commit breaks Iceberg, because it decides that the image is behind the repo, but there is no code that it can load to bring it up to date. Iâm hoping that if the text files go in the same commit, all will be well. Iâve made some progress with this. I have found that if I have staged the text files before I do the commit with Iceberg, then they will be included in the commit. So what I need is a way of detecting modifications in the local repository (the equivalent of "git status") and then doing a "git add ..." for the changed files. And then, ideally, hooking this into Iceberg. Alternatively, I could I suppose write a pre-commit hook as a shell script and just put it in the .git/hooks directory.

Initializing Iceberg's repository list
by Andrew P. Black Feb. 27, 2018

Feb. 27, 2018

I believe that there is a way one can add one or more repositories to Icebergâs list of local repositories, so that when one opens a new image (new = just dowloaded using the Pharo launcher), the repository is already present in Icebergâs list. StÃ©ph showed me how to do this once, but Iâve lost the configuration file (or whatever it was) and canât now figure out where to put it. Can someone point me to the documentation? Andrew

how to load compiled code in the image and to change methods already on the stack?
by Steven Costiou Feb. 27, 2018

Feb. 27, 2018

Hi, is this possible somehow to: - load compiled code in the image? like loading a compiled method instead of loading source then compiling it? - dynamically change a method that is on the stack? If so, how? :) Steven.
