Dependencies and Monticello
by Andrew Black Feb. 17, 2011

Feb. 17, 2011

I probably don't understand how to use Monticello dependencies correctly. Here is the situation. Your help appreciated. I'm writing code that uses PetitParser. So, I added to my own package a dependency on PetitParser. Strangely, rather than linking to the PetitParser repository, this copies PetitParser into my repository when save a new version on my package. The problem is that I have found it necessary to change a few definitions in *PetitParser. (I would call these bug fixes, but that is a matter of opinion.) I didn't think that would be a problem; I put the overriding definitions into my package, and everything worked fine. That is, it worked fine until I started with a clean image and loaded my package. Monticello apparently loaded my package, and then loaded PetitParser. This over-wrote my (bug-fix) definitions with the original ones. Most of my tests failed. If I load my package a second time, them my definitions overwrite the ones from PetitParser, and all is well. I infer that Monticello packages are supposed to be load-order-independent. So, what is the right way to fix this problem (other than convincing Lukas that trimSpaces should, indeed, trimSpaces)? Andrew

Lint checks & automated clean-up of unnecessary code.
by Paul DeBruicker Feb. 15, 2011

Feb. 15, 2011

Hi - Is there some place I could read about how automate the fixing of various lint checks? In a package I've written I have some sloppy parts left over from trying things, then trying other things, then finally settling on another approach entirely. For instance I have 84 instances of "Temporary variables read AND written" (RBOnlyReadOrWrittenTemporaryRule). I have 300+ methods that are implemented but not sent (RBImplementedNotSentRule), 10 un-referenced classes (RBClassNotReferencedRule), etc..... I could definitely go through and delete the temp variables by hand but am hopeful that I could just nuke them all at once, then run my tests and see what, if anything, needs replacing/repairing. Thanks for any guidance you can provide. Paul

DateAndTime and nanos
by Norbert Hartl Feb. 15, 2011

Feb. 15, 2011

I'm trying to find out how to get a date in iso8601 and a precision more fine grained than seconds. But looking at the time based classes I didn't find anything useful. The nanos value seems to be also zero. And the milliSecondClock seems only be useful to measure durations. What can I use to get this achieved? Norbert

Feb. 14, 2011

Hello guys, I want to write a little script that collect all the name of files in a folder then parse the name to change some characters and finally print the list. Quite simple :) But Stef tells me that it the perfect thing that should be done with Coral :) Do you know a good place to find lectures/tuto about Coral ? Thanks in advance, Ben

Hi, I'm searching how I can enable syntax highlighting in last PharoCore 1.3? And, is it possible to have the old inspector? I almost can't work with the new one. Cheers, Adrien.
