In the course I took, I had to select a command on *every single page* and then enter Ctrl-D. It got to be really tiring and frustrating. I just went back to the course and tried just left clicking on the command before entering Ctrl-D and discovered that it works there as well. Wish I'd known it when I started the course. Thanks very much, Keith

why doesn't this baseline load any package when included in another baseline?

by PAUL DEBRUICKER

Hi - In this repo MCHttpRepository location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/TimeZoneDatabase' user: '' password: '' There is the BaselineOfTimeZoneDatabase If in a Pharo7 playground I run Metacello new baseline: 'TimeZoneDatabase'; repository: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/TimeZoneDatabase'; load It loads into the image fine and seems to work. If I include it in another project like this ... spec baseline: 'TimeZoneDatabase' with: [ spec repository: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/TimeZoneDatabase' ]. spec package: 'MyPackage' with:[ spec requires: #('DependencyA' 'DependencyB' 'DependencyC' 'DependencyD' 'TimeZoneDatabase')] spec group:'default' with:'MyPackage'. and load that project into a different, clean Pharo 7 image with Metacello new baseline: 'MyProject'; repository: '/my/pharo/packages/'; load: 'default' Then none of the TimeZoneDatabase packages are loaded and only the postLoadDoIt from the BaselineOfTimeZoneDatabase is called. (The other dependencies aren't loaded either but I figured to just use this TimeZoneDatabase as an example for this email). In the BaselineOfTimeZoneDatabase the #baseline: method is baseline: spec <baseline> spec for: #common do: [ spec postLoadDoIt: #buildSystemDatabase. spec package: 'Time'. spec group: 'Core' with: #('default') ]. spec for: #squeak do: [ spec package: 'TimeZoneDatabase-Squeak' with: [ spec requires: #('Time') ]. spec group: 'default' with: #('TimeZoneDatabase-Squeak') ]. spec for: #pharo do: [ spec package: 'TimeZoneDatabasePharoPreload'; package: 'Time' with: [ spec requires: #('TimeZoneDatabasePharoPreload') ]; package: 'TimeZoneDatabase-Pharo' with: [ spec requires: #('Time') ]. spec group: 'default' with: #('TimeZoneDatabase-Pharo') ] I'm clearly doing something wrong but don't know what. Any ideas on what to change or try next? Thanks Paul

Pharo 7 - how to see method author/timestamp n Calypso?

by PAUL DEBRUICKER

Hi - How can I see who wrote a method and when they wrote it in Calypso? In Nautilus it was the AnnotationPane plugin IIRC. Thanks Paul

package extensions in Pharo 7.

by PAUL DEBRUICKER

Hi - Is there a way to create the protocol, then convert it to an extension, without adding a method to it between the time I create the protocol and convert it to an extension? Seems like it if the protocol is empty when I convert it to an extension it gets deleted rather than converted. Would anyone be interested in having the thing that parses protocol names automatically create extension protocols from names that start with * instead of rejecting them immediately? IS the new extension stuff cross platform compatible right now or do I have to do anything else to port these methods & protocols to Squeak and GemStone? Thanks Paul

I think I owe you all an apology. I just tried the 64-bit version again and it worked perfectly. The instructions just say, "You can learn Pharo by clicking on the following expression:". I didn't expect a new window to open; I had just finished a different Pharo course in which everything stayed in the same window. You'd think I would see a new window opening anyway, but I'm wondering if it might have been hidden behind the main window. I just discovered the window tabs at the bottom as well, which would have helped if I'd thought to look there. Hope I didn't cause anyone a lot of frustration. In a way, I am glad I posed the question, because I have learned a lot in the ensuing discussion. I'll respond to a couple of the new replies, but thank you, everyone, very, very much.

Pharo MOOC 7.0 image

by eftomi

Did someone compile a 7.0 MOOC image yet? Seaside is easy to load, however I got stuck with various packages of Bootstrap / Magritte. When I try to load these either through Metacello, Catalog Browser and through Iceberg there's no success. Catalog Browser usually gives an error message in the status area. QCMagritte seems quite useful and is marked as 7.0 compatible in Catalog Browser. The procedure on Github: Metacello new githubUser: 'Afibre' project: 'QCMagritte' commitish: 'master' path: 'src'; baseline: 'QCMagritte'; load. runs ok, however the majority of Seaside tests are then yellow, some red. As you see, I'm mostly interested in web development :-) -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
