In many Smalltalk implementations, you have *.sources and *.changes files to go along with the image file. There may be a problem with these files in your installation. Missing, not readable, corrupted, ... who knows what. In my Windows environment, the Launcher has put my images in C:\Users\myuserid\Documents\Pharo\images\. For example, I have a Pharo 9.0 - 64bit (stable) directory there with a number of files, including my *.image, *. sources, and *.changes files for that "project". Curiously, the image and changes files have the same basename, which matches the directory. The sources file has a slightly different name. > > This has happened through my entire model, not just as described above. > What is going on.

Hi Thanks for your interest. Unfortunately I do not know how to check that. In any event, as you see from my earlier email, I have worked around the problem now, Regards R Sent from my iPad > On 28 Dec 2021, at 15:34, Steffen MÃ¤rcker <merkste(a)web.de> wrote: > > ï»¿Hi Robert, > > have you checked that you're seeing the code you've typed and not just decompiled methods? > > Best, > Steffen > > > Robert Briggs via Pharo-users schrieb am Montag, 27.

Hi Robert, have you checked that you're seeing the code you've typed and not just decompiled methods? Best, Steffen Robert Briggs via Pharo-users schrieb am Montag, 27.

Re: Pharo-WebView

by TomaÅ¾ Turk

Short report on webview porting: - on Windows (Edge, Edge/Chrome) it works single threaded, it is more or less done, needs some rigorous stability testing, - on Linux/Ubuntu (gtk3, webkit2gtk) almost done, it works as a separate TFWorker thread, still needs some process status checking if webview window is closed by user. - on MacOS (Cocoa, WebKit) I got hold of an older Mac (Sierra) where WebKit doesn't support clipboard operations, but I have made a dynamic library without clipboard support just to continue the development. If anyone is curious, for compilation you need gcc (available here: https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer) Then get webview.h and webview.cc from https://github.com/webview/webview and compile it with: c++ -dynamiclib webview.cc -std=c++11 -framework WebKit -o libwebview.dylib After some more tests on Windows and Linux I'll pack all the libs on GitHub and update the readme. Happy holidays, Tomaz

Pharo 9 arbitrarily changes temporary variable names

by Robert Briggs

Hi I define temporary variables in a method, e.g. |e r |, e.g. in a unit test, but when I run the test Pharo automatically replaces these with | tmp1 tmp2 |. A similar thing happens with method arguments.Â For example methodName: aString at: anInteger will become methodName: arg1 at: arg2. This has happened through my entire model, not just as described above.Â What is going on.Â Is it a bug, or is there a setting that needs to be changed? Many thanks for any feedback on this.

Pharo9: Lessons in "Learn Pharo" are now black and unreadable

by hedley.finger＠gmail.com

Ubuntu 20.04.3 Pharo-9.0.0+build.1573 I am a noob just getting started with Pharo. After tuning some System preferences (e.g. switching to Pharo Light theme, etc.) the lessons in âLearn Pharoâ available from the âWelcomeâ window are near black and unreadable. When I click on âLearn Pharoâ the initial page is okay (black or blue type on a black background) but doing â`ProfStef go.`â messages opens the next lesson where all text has such a black background it is unreadable. Doing â`ProfStef next.`â or â`ProfStef previous.`â on subsequent pages opens a new page similarly illegible. Iâve searched through all the System prefs but canât figure out which one affects the lesson pages. Regards, Hedley

Re: Pharo won't start on Ubuntu

I installed from the .deb package and now there are no problems starting Pharo on Ubuntu 20.04.3.

Thanks, Stephane. I am aware of this now most comfortable possibility to gain access to the newest image. I want to prepare to be able to offer feedback when making changes while working with it; esp. reporting on glitches, and, possibly, code contributions. As of my understanding, up-to-date local repositories in sync with the image are neccessary to do that. Am I wrong?
