LibGit error at start up
by Hilaire Feb. 1, 2019

Feb. 1, 2019

Hi, I downloaded separately stable P7.0 32 bits image and linux VM. When I fire up, I got this start up error related to Git (which I do not use), see log. It looks like reproducible problem. On the CLI, there is a funny error message "file too short": hilaire@PCHome:~/Travaux/Developpement/DrGeoII/trunk/build/tmp/vm$ ./pharo ./Pharo.image ioLoadModule(./lib/pharo/5.0-201901051900/libgit2.so): Â ./lib/pharo/5.0-201901051900/libgit2.so: fichier trop court ioLoadModule(/home/hilaire/Travaux/Developpement/DrGeoII/trunk/build/tmp/vm/./lib/pharo/5.0-201901051900/libgit2.so): Â /home/hilaire/Travaux/Developpement/DrGeoII/trunk/build/tmp/vm/./lib/pharo/5.0-201901051900/libgit2.so: fichier trop court tryLoading(/home/hilaire/Travaux/Developpement/DrGeoII/trunk/build/tmp/vm/lib/pharo/5.0-201901051900/libgit2.so/.libs/,libgit2.so): stat(/home/hilaire/Travaux/Developpement/DrGeoII/trunk/build/tmp/vm/lib/pharo/5.0-201901051900/libgit2.so/.libs/) N'est pas un dossier External module not found ExternalLibraryFunction(Object)>>error: ExternalLibraryFunction(Object)>>externalCallFailed ExternalLibraryFunction(ExternalFunction)>>invokeWithArguments: LGitLibrary>>libgit2_init FFICalloutAPI>>function:module: -- Dr. Geo http://drgeo.eu

Why DirectoryIsNotEmpty on FileReference>>deleteAll ?
by Albrecht Baur Feb. 1, 2019

Feb. 1, 2019

I get a DirectoryIsNotEmpty exception on FileReference(AbstractFileReference)>>deleteAll. But deleteAll is supposed to delete children too. -> So why the exception ? I can reproduce it with: --- | sourceFolder deleteMeFolder numberOfRetries | sourceFolder := '/network-drive-mounted-via-cifs/delme-tmpl/'. deleteMeFolder := '/network-drive-mounted-via-cifs/delme/'. "copy sourceFolder to deleteMeFolder:" sourceFolder asFileReference copyAllTo: deleteMeFolder asFileReference . "delete deleteMeFolder again:" numberOfRetries := 0. [Â Â Â deleteMeFolder asFileReference deleteAll ] on: DirectoryIsNotEmpty do: [:ex| Â Â Â (numberOfRetries := numberOfRetries + 1) < 5 Â Â Â Â Â Â ifTrue: [ ex retry ]Â Â Â ]. Transcript crLog . Transcript show: 'Retries: ', numberOfRetries asString . --- ---> numberOfRetries is now = 1 ! BUT: this only happens when sourceFolder and deleteMeFolder are on a network drive mounted via cifs. (linux fstab entry like: //host/share /network-drive-mounted-via-cifs/ cifs credentials=...,uid=... 0 0 ) How do I handle such situations when working with the file library on network drives? (My "retry on exception" workaround seems hackish to me.) Thanks, Albrecht

Seaside or Iliad for business applications?
by Siemen Baader Feb. 1, 2019

Feb. 1, 2019

Hi, Iâm a very happy Iliad user but Iâm wondering if it would make sense to switch to Seaside for commercial development since it has a larger user base. I have only used Seaside briefly to try it out and found I was more happy with Iliad back then, but now Iâd like to hear your input. Especially from those of you who use it for business applications with paying customers. My questions are: - does Seaside support partial updates of the DOM, like Iliad, or do I need to refresh the whole website for every interaction? - Iliad has REST-like URLS that look clean and can be shared, Seaside seems not to. Is this possible with Seaside? - directly writing javascript. I suppose there is a WAComponent that can emit raw JS? - what is the status of Websocket / Comet in Seaside? Is there anything else I should consider? thanks, Siemen
