Test method auto-generation in Calypso
by HernÃ¡n Morales Durand Feb. 1, 2020

Feb. 1, 2020

Hi, I have this idea of typing a method in a Browser and have another code area in the same browser where the method test is "automagically generated". This is, divide the current method pane in two: One for the method being written itself, and another for its test, where at least the method selector could be autogenerated by writing testXXXX Of course being able to jump to the method test would be super nice! (and with a keyboard shortcut). This reminds myself to write the method now instead of forget it forever. Any hints to make this happen in Calypso? Cheers, HernÃ¡n

Just curious...

In the Playground, if I type in 0.1s and then "Print it", I get the following output: *0.1s1* What does the *s1* stand for? Why doesn't it simply print *s*?

[ANN] Hashtable on pharo-contributions
by Cyril Ferlicot Jan. 30, 2020

Jan. 30, 2020

Hi! In Moose there is a project call "Hashtable". The goal of this project is to provide faster collections when they have a big number of elements. I think this is something that can be useful for more than just Moose so I extracted it to pharo-contributions so that we can use it and improve it more. https://github.com/pharo-contributions/Hashtable Have a nice day. -- Cyril Ferlicot https://ferlicot.fr

sqlite garage

Jan. 30, 2020

anyone using Garage for accessing SQLite? I am using Garage for MySQL in Pharo 7 on windows and it all works seamlessly but I don't know what connection string to use to connect to a database file that I have in my pharo directory. -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

Resources Page
by Richard Kenneth Eng Jan. 30, 2020

Jan. 30, 2020

I've added a Resources page to my new blog: https://smalltalk.tech.blog/resources/. It is very much a *curated *list. I felt this was needed because when I visit other Smalltalk resources pages, I get overwhelmed by the number of links and options. It is possible to have *too many* choices. Moreover, many of those links are either broken, or they point to obscure materials that people may not be interested in. As curator, it is my job to present those links that I believe will be useful. Of course, this is necessarily very subjective. Also, it is likely that I've overlooked some links that others feel are useful. However, I am open-minded. If there are Smalltalk links that you believe I should consider, please let me know.
