(Re)storing code blocks from text strings (hopefully in STON)
by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas Dec. 6, 2020

Dec. 6, 2020

Hi, I'm using STON for all my light storage serialization needs, like the Grafoscopio notebooks, and I also love it, as Russ stated in their mail question, and I share with him a similar request: for my Brea[1] static site generator I would like to store some BreaQuery objects as external STON files, and recover them, so I can run the queries that recreate/update the website easily. I could store them as Grafoscopio notebooks, but I don't want to make Grafoscopio a prerequisite for Brea or I could use Fuel, but I would like to store queries as a diff friendly text based format. I have considered Metacello/Iceberg packages to export code in a diff friendly format, but It maybe overkill. So I would like to see if STON can serve me here too. [1] https://mutabit.com/repos.fossil/brea/ [2] https://mutabit.com/repos.fossil/indieweb/ So far, I'm able to serialize a code block as a string using: BreaQuery>>asStonModified Â Â Â self codeBlock: self codeBlock asString Â Â Â ^ STON toStringPretty: self But I'm unable to populate a block from a string. There is any way to make a string, lets say 'a + b', to become the code contents of a block, ie: [a + b ] ? Thanks, Offray

Dec. 5, 2020

Hi I have a question and I could not find the answer in the SmalltalkCI doc I would like to run my tests on different versions of Pharo I know how to do it in travis but in GA I missed it. I read https://github.com/marketplace/actions/setup-smalltalkci and tutorials on the net about GA So I tried name: test env: GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} on: push: branches: - master jobs: build: strategy: fail-fast: false matrix: platform: [ubuntu-latest, macos-latest ] pharoversion: [Pharo64-8.0, Pharo64-9.0] runs-on: ${{ matrix.platform }} steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v2 - uses: hpi-swa/setup-smalltalkCI@v1 id: smalltalkci with: smalltalk-version: pharoversion - run: smalltalkci -s ${{ steps.smalltalkci.outputs.pharoversion }} shell: bash timeout-minutes: 15 but it failed. I do not know how to specify the version of Pharo64-8.0 on mac.

[Video] Transforming code using RewriteToolsSet
by Sebastian Jordan Dec. 5, 2020

Dec. 5, 2020

Hi, If you are interested in applying custom code transformations on a selected set of classes, maybe this tool will be of your interest. I made these mini-tutorial-videos in which I transform the code of a set of classes through a transformation rule using this brand new tool RewriteToolsSet. Thanks! [GitHub's repo: https://github.com/jordanmontt/RewriteToolsSet] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0ElVhUoWXk - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9v1XTk1J2A [https://www.bing.com/th?id=OVF.rbOc4EaCst%2fncgXkMaTwHA&pid=Api]<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0ElVhUoWXk> Transforming code using RewriteToolsSet<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0ElVhUoWXk> In this video we are going to see another common use case of this set of tools. We are going to reactor the code of all classes of a package using a transformation rule. If you have any question or experience any bug, please do not hesitate open an issue on the GitHub page or contact me. Thank you for you time! GitHub's repository: https ... www.youtube.com

Amber Smalltalk
by G B Dec. 4, 2020

Dec. 4, 2020

I realize Amber isn't a Pharo related question, but there doesn't appear to be much activity in their Rocket chat or on google groups.Â Â The instructions on the site say to install doing:npm install -g grunt-cli grunt-init @ambers/cli And when you run:amber init It fails:fatal: repository 'https://lolg.it/amber/amber-contrib-jquery.git/' not found It appears they moved it to contrib-jquery from amber-contrib-jquery.Â Does anyone know where this would be changed to get "amber init" to work?

I am following the instructions for Willow-Playground ba-st/Willow-Playground: | | | | | | | | | | | ba-st/Willow-Playground Examples on how to use Willow to develop a complete interactive web application - ba-st/Willow-Playground | | | Metacello new baseline: 'WillowPlayground'; repository: 'github://ba-st/Willow-Playground:release-candidate/source'; load.I have tried this in 9.0 64-bit and 8.0 64-bit, but it always stops with the Inspector: "a MetacelloScriptApiExecutor"self Is that the expected behavior when it successfully completes, or did it not install?
