Re: [Pharo-users] Request for Windows test

by Esteban A. Maringolo

I tested it in Windows 7 Pro (English) with ES-Ar locale, and the app launched perfectly in my local language. I couldn't quickly figure out the app, but I played with the examples and the app looks impressive. The performance is great on a pretty old laptop. Congratulations.

Hi, I've seen the FT distorted fonts when launched several images at the same time. It could be a way to reproduce it.

Hello This seems exactly like a problem I reported almost exactly a year ago - 15 July 2017. Peter Uhnak reported then that he saw it regularly. The only sure remedy we found is to reboot the machine - occasionally reboot twice. I am using Pharo 6.1 on Windows 10. Since that report, I have seen it very rarely. Most recently I found that the Pharo window appearance was distorted - wrong font size etc - but I did not see the debug console error message. Advice to Webwarrior - reboot machine and see if it goes away.

It helps with this sort of thing to execute the code in a playground and inspect the result. One thing you need to know is that the result of xpath is almost always some sort of XMLCollection, even when there is only one element. I would expect the result you want if you write yearmem := (tree xpath: âcardset/card/yearâ) first. Note that you should not need a slash at the start; xpath starts searching in the children of the top node. Also you do not need to give every step of the hierarchy; you can always skip levels provided the result specifies a unique route to the node you want. So in this case you can write: yearmem := (tree xpath: â//yearâ) first.
