Playground auto-save?
by Hilaire July 22, 2019

July 22, 2019

Hi, I have to admit it is working randomly in P7 with Dr.Geo. (19.06 rel) Sometime script can be retrieved with the playpage button other time no: executed script can not be retrieved. Its behavior is not predictable and it is a problem for me and the kids playing code. Hilaire -- Dr. Geo http://drgeo.eu

.package directory tree
by ian July 22, 2019

July 22, 2019

All, Newbie Question: I filed out a whole package by right clicking on the system browser package name and got a directory structure similar to the following: packagename.package -> monicello meta -> categories.st -> initializer.st -> package -> version -> properties.json -> Class.class -> class -> some.st -> another.st -> instance -> some.st -> another.st -> methodProperties.json -> properties.json -> AnotherClass.class -> same as Class.class directory structure above Issue: How do I file this all back in? There seems no way to do this in any easy fassion. Trying to file the .st's by themselves creates dependancy nightmares. If I can file this out in one singe click does it not make sense that I should be able to do the reverse in on single click or am I manually forced to recreate all my code? Thanks!

Tree API blog post

Hello everyone, Next week I'm consulting with mentors on how to design an API for Tree data structures. I was researching a bit and wrote this blog post as a starting point: https://pharokeepers.github.io/pharo/2019/06/30/Application-Programming-Int… Feedback and ideas are more than welcome :) Best regards, Smiljana Knezev

"whenSelectedItemChanged:" in Spec
by Steve Quezadas July 17, 2019

July 17, 2019

I am running through the "Spec UI Framework" tutorial, and in it has a widget class inherited from "ComposablePresenter" (ComposablePresenter subclass: #WidgetClassList). But for some reason the "whenSelectedItemChanged:" method call does not execute when I select any item on the GUI list. Is there anything I'm missing? I posted this earlier on the list, and someone suggested I try "whenActivatedDo:" or "whenSelectionChangedDo:", but it doesn't do anything as well. The code looks like this: whenSelectedItemChanged: aBlock Transcript show: 'should get here; cr. I am using Pharo 7. - Steve

If you check the implementation it uses the same kind of expression. What it bring more is to factorise the code to do it (Like this if Iceberg change I just need to update GitBridge and all projects using it will be fixed). It also brings methods such as #version that can be useful and I hope we will add useful things to it to avoid everyone duplicating their own version in their project. Last thing is that the API is clear. For example you can just do: `GABridge images` instead of the whole detect on the Iceberg registry. > Cheers, > Alexandre > > > -- Cyril Ferlicot https://ferlicot.fr

[ANN] TinyLogger
by Cyril Ferlicot D. July 17, 2019

July 17, 2019

Hi, Some time ago I released the first stable version of a project of mine: TinyLogger. I announced it on Twitter but I forgot to announce it here :) I started this project because at some point I had an urgent need of a simple logger and at that time beacon was broken. :( I had no time to check from where the error came from and wait for the integration of a PR so I did a simple logger directly in my project. After some month/years I took some time to extract it to its own project and document it to give an alternative logger for simple cases. You can find information, a quick start and documentation here: https://github.com/jecisc/TinyLogger -- Cyril Ferlicot https://ferlicot.fr

[ANN] GitBridge
by Cyril Ferlicot D. July 17, 2019

July 17, 2019

Hi! Today I released the v1 of a project I wanted to do since a long time: GitBridge. The goal of the project is to easily access external resources stored in the git repository of the project and other information. For more infos check the Quick start or documentation present at: https://github.com/jecisc/GitBridge When Monticello was the most common VCS usable with Pharo we stored a lot of external resources in the image. Now we are able to store them outside, get a lighter image and make it easier to edit and version them! This can be useful to store test resources, CSS/JS files for web applications, documentation, etc. This can also be useful to get from the application some information such as the current version of the application instead of hard-coding it in a method to update at each release. It implementation relies on Iceberg and the repositories registered in it. -- Cyril Ferlicot https://ferlicot.fr
