How best to cope with 2 editor/browser frameworks - Calypso and RubSmalltalkEditor
by Tim Mackinnon Aug. 21, 2018

Aug. 21, 2018

Hi Iâm trying to work out the best way to cope with the fact that we are in a hybrid place where the Playground is using an RubSmalltalkEditor but Calypso has its own mechanisms for editing code. I have commands that should/can work in both the playground as well as code method editor (in Calypso). Previously my code lived in RubSmalltalkEditor and Nautilus was using that too - but now Iâm not sure where to put some reusable methods that use RBParser and the AST to find the best place to position your cursor. I can make a class method on RubSmalltalkEditor and Calypso commands could reference that (but that feels wrong somehow). I could make some extension methods on RBParser and both places reference that - but then who should own the extension method (as I think RubSmalltalkEditor is lower level and Calypso is then loaded on top). Anyone have some good suggestions? Tim

Unable to install Roassal2 on pharo7 64bits
by Federico.Balaguer Aug. 21, 2018

Aug. 21, 2018

Hello all, I need to install Roassal2 on Pharo7 64bits . I notice that there is a dialog warning about Roassal 2 not being tested on Pharo7 64bits. I wonder if someone was able to laod it I tried loading the stable configuration but it results making the image to close/quit. The image comes from the PharoLauncher's Pharo 7.0 development list. Is there a version of Pharo7 x64 that is known to work with Roassal2? Thanks! Federico -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

don't understand why cascading doesn't work

I'm embarrassed to write about this. I've been playing with the code, reading docs, etc. for an hour: With a Transcript window open, executing any of the following lines (from a Playground): Transcript show: 1; ' '; 2; cr. Transcript show: 'a'; cr; 'b'. Transcript show: 1; cr; '2'. fails, after which is shown a pink box with the text 'Message expected ->'. I'm sure it's something simple. What am I missing? Thanks.

Re: [Pharo-users] Gemstone as a service?

We have one client for whom we are managing a fair number of GemStone servers and I am itching to do this "aaS". Being able to use the same for several clients would make it easier to spend more time and resources, hopefully making the offering better. I've been holding back on the idea though because I have no idea of knowing whether there is enough interest for something like this to make it financially viable. If people are interested, I'd also love to know what their requirements are: - how big are the systems they want to run ito the various machine resources and network resources needed? - how complicated the setup needs to be (we run a fairly simple setup, more flexible setups may be difficult to generalise)? - where to you prefer to locate servers physically, and do you require hot-standbys (perhaps in a different location)? - what do you require in terms of the process deploying new versions of your code to production? - ... or any other requirements?

Although we are not using Docker and kubernetes currently, we've been eyeing them and hoping to grow in that direction too. Is there a problem with such an approach? Could it help if someone produced, say a set of usable docker containers for various gemstone bits? Regards Iwan --

Where (as in Git project) should Calypso browser source code commands live?
by Tim Mackinnon Aug. 19, 2018

Aug. 19, 2018

Hi - Iâve had a few changes lined up to try and help P7 be a little more IntelliJ like. But Iâm not sure what package my small extensions should live in? I used SycRenameTempCommand as an example - but it lives in a package called "SystemCommands-SourceCodeCommandsâ - however I canât see where that package is git versioned as when I browse the Pharo working copy, it doesnât appear. Is this some low level piece that hasnât been moved into git yet? My commands are - ExtendSelection (a keypress to intelligently widen the selection of selected code to aid refactoring or moving code around), and JumpToNextKeyword - a keystroke to intelligently jump you to where you can enter a code completed keyboard or block variable etc. This got me thinking - about where these should live - are they in the Calypso project - and would l do a PR there - or are they in Pharo and I create a PR there? Suggestions? Tim

Aug. 19, 2018

Hi all, I was debugging my seaside application yesterday. I saved and closed the image. Then when I opened Pharo tonight I got the RubShoutStylerDecorator error. If I close the error window another one immediately pops up. Any idea what I can do? -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

Working with an entire project in git
by sergio ruiz Aug. 18, 2018

Aug. 18, 2018

Hey, all.. I was just checking in to see the progress of managing an entire project with git. The last I checked in, this was a work in progress. My current pet project consists of a handful of classes with maybe two handfuls of required packages. Is the entire metacello configuration being handled on github yet? I would like to work this into my workflow so that I can do something like: - Grab a fresh Pharo - Pharo.image ../scripts/setup-client-application.st where the setup script just grabs the Configuration and loads and starts a fresh project.
