by StÃ©phane Ducasse Sept. 7, 2010

Dear Pharoers :) this year ESUG would like to reward effort made in book publications. Since we want to push new books but that it takes time to write books we will take into account a window of 5 years. So you are requested to vote for the best book of the last 5 years. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Q2LKKDT Stef on the behalf of the ESUG board.

Hi folks. We are realeasing SqueakDBX 1.2, just an small release. For those who doesn't know, SqueakDBX is a database driver to connect to most of the existing databases. For more details, please read www.squeakdbx.org The main changes in this release are: - ConfigurationOfSqueakDBX version: 1.2 - Comments: SqueakDBX stable 1.2 - OpenDBX version: 1.5 - New Features - GlorpDBX connection pool for SqueakDBXDriver. Thanks to John Toohey for this contribution. - New support for Firebird 100% green tests in Windows. - New support for MySQL 4. - New tests for PostgreSQL sequences, for bad data settings, large objects, etc. - We now let a platform to set special options ALWAYS before opening the connection. - Packages remodularization and little changes so that to easily support ports, for example to Dolphin. - Start to support large objects. For the moment: Postgresql supports TEXT, MySQL supports TEXT and BLOB, and SQLite CLOB (error with BLOB), Oracle supports CLOB and NCLOB. - Added the possibility to enable or disable automatic release of connections using WeakRegistry. - Notes - Tested with Cog, resulting in an average of 3x increase and 100% green. - Tested in Pharo 1.0 and 1.1. - Updated Metacello configurations To install it: Gofer new squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfSqueakDBX'; load. (ConfigurationOfSqueakDBX project version: '1.2') load. In Pharo 1.1 I recommend to evaluate the following: DBXPlatform disableAutomaticConnectionReleaseOnGC Cheers Mariano

TestSprinter
by Benjamin Van Ryseghem Sept. 3, 2010

Sept. 3, 2010

Hello everybody I'm now working on a new Test Runner tool and I wonder which behaviours do you want me to implement. For now, I want the Test Sprinter to be able to : - search through packages and classes thanks to search fields. - browse the hierarchy from packages to test methods (with icons). - create groups of tests easily re-runnable. If you have any ideas, I'm waiting for them ;) Thank you Ben

Problem in test writing.
by Panu Suominen Sept. 1, 2010

Sept. 1, 2010

Hi all, I am quite new to smalltalk and I am probably having "cultural" difficulties. I mostly work with Java. So it is possible that there is trivial answer for my question or my question is just wrong. But here it goes. I am implementing object that should make a call to some other object. I need to test that the caller works correctly based on the return value it receives. So basically the code and the test looks like this and I need to fill the XXXX part: Object>>doSomething result:=innerObject makeACall. "based on result do something" Test>>test "get bogus object for testing from somewhere" mockForTest := XXXX. (Object new) innerObject: mockForTest. doSomething. "check that something was done." I am used to resolve this kind of problems using mock objects. I tought it would be easy to implement in smalltalk too because it is dynamic language. However with my limited searches I did not found much usable code or examples how to do it. So, my question is: is there some easy way to resolve this problem or does it require a bigger library? If it does, is there a library already for that? -- Panu

Hi guys I'm starting to work on http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=2635 which I split into http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=2875 Now after I will apply Seaside decomposition to have Test "in their package" Tests-ToolBuilder -> ToolBuilder-Test Now in addition I would like to have Kernel the right stuff there Collection-Kernel Containing what is needed for the core I prefer that to Kernel-Collection since people that want to look at collection will fin it grouped in Collection but the kernel means that we know that they will be for the kernel Now for Array we will have Array will be in Collection-Kernel Collection-Kernel-Test Stef
