Its a useful skill to have, so if you are interested to learn, here's a quickstart guide... (Note since its a text file, we are shortcutting so you don't even need git on your local machine) 1. Click on this link. https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/UpdatedPharoByExample/blob/maste… 2. Click the <Fork> button in the top tight, then browse to "Morphic.pier" in your fork. 3. To the right of the <Raw/Blame/History> buttons, click the <Pencil> button to edit the file. 4. After editing, at the bottom select "Create a new branch for this commit and start a pull request" and enter commit title, comment and new-branch-name to reflect your contribution. Click <Propose file change> 5. Now looking at "Open a pull request", this is issuing a PR to your own fork. We need to change to the upstream fork. At the top click on "forked from SquareBracketAssociates/UpdatedPharoByExample" . 6. Under "Your recently pushed branches" click <Compare & pull request> 7. Check... base fork: SquareBracketAssociates/UpdatedPharoByExample base: master head fork: YourName/UpdatedPharoByExample compare: your new-branch-name Review the diff, enter PR title and comment, then click <Create pull request>. If you have problems, try to catch me on Discord... https://discord.gg/dKv4qR/KCKQSSt cheers -ben P.S. @Stef, btw, it looks like "the guidelines for contributing" is out of date... https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/UpdatedPharoByExample/blob/maste… "This is a test to see if it makes sense to convert PharoByExample into pier format." > > > Ben Coman wrote >> On Sat, May 27, 2017 at 9:15 PM, horrido < > >> horrido.hobbies@ > >> > wrote: >>> Yes, I did.

Re: [Pharo-users] YAML parser (2017)

by Thierry Goubier

Hi Peter, If you have a BNF of YAML, then a SmaCC parser with AST generation is at most a day of work. I can help.

YAML parser (2017)

by Peter Uhnak

Hi, do we have a working parser for YAML? There's PPYAMLGrammar (in PetitParser), however it doesn't seem to work in Pharo 6 at all (not even tests pass). In Pharo 5 the tests are green, but using it on YAML content still fails... with small fix I managed it to "pass", however the output seems to be a very fine-grained AST decomposition and not the expected output (dictionaries/arrays). So do we have some else/working? YAML specs have BNF descriptions, so maybe SmaCC can generate it? (I don't know SmaCC, so maybe this is not how it works.) Thanks, Peter

Seems really good! I just gave a quick glimpse on it. Maybe for making it printer friendly, future iterations should not use the Pharo black theme, which is pretty good on the eyes, particularly if you're coding at night, but take a lot of ink if you are intended to print it.

I don't use GitHub. I've never used GitHub. I don't know how to use GitHub. I looked at making a pull request and I was totally stymied. "Clueless" doesn't even begin to describe how I felt.
