Loading Seaside and Voyage in Pharo 7.0 64bit
by Jan Äada Sept. 30, 2019

Sept. 30, 2019

Hi, I am trying to load Seaside and Voyage to Pharo 7.0 64bit image using following : Metacello new baseline:'Seaside3'; repository: 'github://SeasideSt/Seaside:v3.4.0/repository'; load. Metacello new repository: 'github://pharo-nosql/voyage:1.6/mc'; baseline: 'Voyage'; load: 'mongo tests'. I am getting dependency error: Load Conflict between existing BaselineOfGrease [baseline] from github://SeasideSt/Grease:v1.4.x/repository and BaselineOfGrease [baseline] from github://SeasideSt/Grease:v1.4.3/repository <github://SeasideSt/Grease:v1.4.3/repository> - to me it seems that both Grease versions are in the end same. I see following in transcript: Project: Grease Core Tests baseline Fetched -> Grease-Tests-Core-CompatibleUserName.1554365153 --- https://github.com/SeasideSt/Grease.git[v1.4.3, v1.4.x] --- https://github.com/SeasideSt/Grease.git[v1.4.x] Fetched -> Grease-Tests-Pharo-Core-CompatibleUserName.1554365153 --- https://github.com/SeasideSt/Grease.git[v1.4.3, v1.4.x] --- https://github.com/SeasideSt/Grease.git[v1.4.x] - I do not insist on Seaside or voyage versions - I just took the latest. Can you please help me with resolving this issue ? Thanks, Jan

Workflows and possible usages
by Tim Mackinnon Sept. 30, 2019

Hi everyone, in my day job I encountered an interesting domain problem that a previous java team has made a bit of a hash of ... I thought it might be interesting to model it in Pharo to help explain it better to a new team and I was interested in community thoughts as we have some of the best thinkers on tap. The scenario is that a user is presented with several input fields to apply for a loan , one of them is Amount and another the type of loan (cash, invoice, machinery etc). Depending on these answers, they are next presented with different questions - if the amount > 100k there are some high value questions, if the loan type is machinery there are some more additional questions on the type of machine etc. This progresses to a third form and potentially a 4th and 5th. So itâs effectively a decision tree, that rules out different loan types. The UI is a React web form, and Iâve suggested to the team to do some experiments with a dynamic UI that interprets a Json payload that describes the questions, so itâs really about how to model the questions and then render them out in this Json format. I was wondering if this was a typical workflow problem (and whether the netstyle engine was appropriate or wasnât there some other ones announced recently too?) Iâve never used a workflow engine - But it sounds a bit like the problem above? Or not? Alternatively, I was thinking I could model groups of questions into a Decision, and then have a DecisionJourney of Decisions. Each decision could have some match and dependency criteria - e.g. some sort of matcher block eg [:d | d amount > 100 & d type = #machinery] and then some method to add questions to a DecisionForm on a match which would then render the Json payload. But I wondered if workflow engines just do this, and they might handle extra stuff for free. Anyone have any thoughts or directions to explore? Tim Sent from my iPhone

Testing "Weekly Digest" for GitHub
by Marcus Denker Sept. 30, 2019

Sept. 30, 2019

Hi, There is a ProBot that creates an issue with a weekly summary. By installing it for testing, we got the first report: Weekly Digest (1 July, 2019 - 8 July, 2019) https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/issues/381 I will do some fine-tuning (e.g. disable commits and star-gazers) later. We then can let it run for some weeks and see if it is useful or not. Marcus

Le 29/09/2019 Ã 11:23, Davide Varvello via Pharo-users a Ã©critÂ : Hi, NoeJSON seems to be saved with the Tonel format. Tonel is by default in Pharo since Pharo 6.1. It should be possible to update Metacello and Tonel to be able to load this project in Pharo 4+ Here is a pharo-wiki page explaining how to do it: https://github.com/pharo-open-documentation/pharo-wiki/blob/master/General/… Have a nice day! -- Cyril Ferlicot https://ferlicot.fr

Microsoft COM

Hi Pablo, At work I managed to remote control Internet Explorer with Excel VBA like this... [1] http://www.automateexcel.com/vba/automate-internet-explorer and went looking for how similar might be achieved from Pharo. IIUC I discovered this would be done via Microsoft's Component Object Model, and then I bumped into your repo... [2] https://github.com/tesonep/pharo-com Could you advise the status and your plans for this? Since I see its only a few months old I've probably stumbled onto it prematurely, but I see no documentation or tests to discover how to use it. So I'll curious whether it makes something like [1] possible? And could you show how that would be done? cheers -ben P.S. For context, at work I automated IE since the intranet document management system (OpenText) does authentication via a javascript function in the browser, which doesn't compute with Microsoft's MSXML.DOMDocument component. So I use IE to do the authentication and grab the raw XML from IE to then stuff it into MSXML.DOMDocument from which I pull the data I need. But I'd love to do it with Pharo instead (if I can get IT to white list it) cheers -ben

Davide, I don't know what you are doing, exactly. If I download a fresh Pharo 7.0.4 (64bit on macOS), and I execute the expression Metacello new repository: 'github://svenvc/NeoJSON/repository'; baseline: 'NeoJSON'; load. it loads as expected, with the following in the Transcript Fetched -> BaselineOfNeoJSON-CompatibleUserName.1551110229 --- git@github.com:svenvc/NeoJSON.git[master] --- git@github.com:svenvc/NeoJSON.git[master] Loaded -> BaselineOfNeoJSON-CompatibleUserName.1551110229 --- git@github.com:svenvc/NeoJSON.git[master] --- git@github.com:svenvc/NeoJSON.git[master] Loading baseline of BaselineOfNeoJSON...
