Can the rewrite tool replace a single statement with multiple statements?
by Tim Mackinnon June 5, 2024

June 5, 2024

I've never really learned the rewrite tool but while waiting for changes to propagate through P12, I thought maybe I could use it to safely patch changes until there are official updates (and it was a good chance to get more familiar with it). I thought there was more documentation available for how it works (interested in any old articles - but the online help in P12 is ok - although it doesn't display in markdown - in fact give there is markdown support now - I am a bit confused what should appear more readable these days - and how to fix/contribute changes to help). This aside - I wanted to patch the SystemWindow>>taskbarButtonMenu: (and add my fix to move tabs to any position). I started writing the following search expression - the find the last call to #addToggle:... method call that has a literal referencing #canBeMovedRight - as I want to add my new menu item after it. e.g. moveSubmenu `@addToggle: `{ :node | node isLiteralNode and: [ node value = #canBeMovedToRight] } but I'm not sure my {} filter block is ever called, as the above matches both addToggle:... calls, and not the one I'm after? I don't understand this - any have ideas on the proper syntax for generic matching? Anyway - I decided that in my case there is only one - so I can match it explicitly and so I search on the full call: and I entered this: moveSubmenu addToggle: 'Move right' translated target: self selector: #taskbarMoveRight getStateSelector: nil enablementSelector: #canBeMovedToRight. Which matches exactly - then I want to replace the single statement with 2 statements e.g. moveSubmenu addToggle: 'Move right' translated target: self selector: #taskbarMoveRight getStateSelector: nil enablementSelector: #canBeMovedToRight. moveSubmenu addToggle: 'Move to' translated target: self selector: #taskbarMoveTo getStateSelector: nil. However this gives an error in the rewrite tool (actually it results in a zero change, that then gives an error for EpMonitor). But my question is - why can't you rewrite a single statement to multiple ones? I have noticed that in this case I can cascade the message send - and this then rewrites properly - so it looks like it wants to replace a single node with a single node. If I couldn't cascade - It seems I would have to rewrite with something like: [ "put multiple expressions here" ] value. This seems an odd choice - but am I missing something obvious? Do you have to do what I'm proposing in 2 steps - rewrite to a block (or some equivalent) and then a 2nd rewrite to simplify the expression (like a refactor step) - so its more provably correct? I'm just curious on this - as it seemed time to learn this properly? Tim

Recent Pharo's seem to lose first keystroke when you swap to them to paste?
by Tim Mackinnon June 1, 2024

June 1, 2024

For a while I've noticed that every time I try and copy some text from a web browser or email and then paste it into pharo the first time it fails - and then thinking I didn't copy, I try it again and then realise that I have to paste twice - as the first one doesn't work. This didn't seem to do this in Pharo 9 (maybe 10) but its definitely the case in Pharo 11 and Pharo 12. This is on OSX (14.x) so I'm wondering if the same occurs in Windows or Linux or if its just my laptop? Its quite annoying and I'm wondering if it might be a side effect from the gradual UI changes in Pharo? I've looked in the issues tracker - but its a tricky thing to search for - and so I wanted to canvas experience and then will report it. Tim
