Why doesn't Iceberg checkin other assets (scripts) but does check them out?
by Tim Mackinnon June 18, 2018

June 18, 2018

Hi - my second attempt at using Pharo with Git has proven very satisfying (I saw the potential in phase 1, but it was often difficult to understand what was happening and the workflow to use). One thing that has come up a few times for me however - and its something that using git nicely highlights, there are many non-smalltalk assets in my project that donât need to live in the image (like Seaside FileLibraries were trying to do) but do need to be versioned and be part of my project. Common examples are server config files, images and even the playground history files that are useful to pull up when on another computer. It seems that while Iceberg does check out a full project, if I change any of the files outside of the src directory (like edit a .txt file using the crude Pharo file editor), those changes donât get committed when I do a checkin? Is this on purpose? It makes the workflow a bit trickier to do an atomic commit of a piece of work - and Iâm not clear whether this is a conscious thing, or an MVP thing (and it will come later). As mentioned above, I was also thinking it would be nice if I could checkin some of the play-xxxx/*.sh files to essentially keep some of that history synced between environments (or team members?). It strikes me that this is the kind of thing that git integration should bring to us? I can overlay my copy of IntelliJ on top of my local iceberg directory and then use it for checkins - but then I still have the atomic problem, as its only when I commit that tonel files are written out onto the file system for me to checkin along with any other assets Iâve changed. Does anyone else have a good workflow for this? What do you guys do? Tim

NeoJSON extension - easier list handling with NeoJSONPropertyMapping
by Ben Coman June 17, 2018

June 17, 2018

hi Sven, With NeoJSON I have found several times in handling lists that I need to indirect through #for:customDo: like this...... reader for: ExercismProblems do: [ :mapping | self halt. (mapper mapInstVar: #problems) valueSchema: #ArrayOfProblems ]. reader for: #ArrayOfProblems customDo: [ :mapping | mapper listOfElementSchema: ExercismProblem ]. when I'd really like to be simpler and more concise like this... reader for: ExercismProblems do: [ :mapping | (mapping mapInstVar: #problems) listOfType: Array withElementSchema: ExercismProblem ]. so I'm seeking your feedback on the following hack which facilitates that. (and if I missed something that already makes it simpler) ---------------------------- Object subclass: #NeoJSONPropertyMapping instanceVariableNames: 'propertyName valueSchema getter setter collectionClass' "Added collectionClass" NeoJSONPropertyMapping >> listOfType: aCollectionClass withElementSchema: elementSchema collectionClass := aCollectionClass. valueSchema := elementSchema NeoJSONPropertyMapping >> readObject: anObject from: jsonReader | value | value := collectionClass ifNil: [jsonReader nextAs: valueSchema] "nil by default retains the original behaviour" ifNotNil: [jsonReader nextList: collectionClass of: valueSchema ]. setter value: anObject value: value NeoJSONReader >> nextList: nextListClass of: schema "copied from #nextAs" "Secondary interface to parse JSON. Return a list of objects, each element according to schema." ^ nextListClass streamContents: [ :stream | self parseListDo: [ stream nextPut: (self nextAs: schema) ] ] ---------------------------- Sample data is shown at: https://github.com/bencoman/pharogui-exercism/blob/master/README.md with the following code to access it. Object subclass: #ExercismAPI instanceVariableNames: 'client rawResponse jsonResponse success message result' classVariableNames: 'ApiKey' package: 'Exercism' ExercismAPI class >> configureApiKey: key ApiKey := key. ExercismAPI >> track: trackIdString self path: 'v2/exercises/' , trackIdString. ExercismAPI >> fetchTrack: trackIdString |znclient response| ApiKey ifNil: [ self error: 'ApiKey not configured. See class-side ExcercismAPI' ]. znclient := ZnClient new https; enforceHttpSuccess: true; accept: ZnMimeType applicationJson; host: 'x.exercism.io' . znclient path: 'v2/exercises/' , trackIdString. znclient queryAt: 'key' put: ApiKey. ^ [ response := znclient get ] on: ZnHttpUnsuccessful do: [ :exception | Transcript crShow: exception ] fetchJsonTrack: trackIdString | reader | reader := NeoJSONReader on: (self fetchTrack: trackIdString) readStream. reader for: ExercismProblems do: [ :mapper | (mapper mapInstVar: #problems) listOfType: Array andElementSchema: ExercismProblem ]. ^ reader nextAs: ExercismProblems In Playground... ExercismAPI configureApiKey: 'ec60c50cb50d4ffaa97903d5ebb3d5ff'. (ExercismAPI new fetchJsonTrack: 'go') inspect I'll reset the apikey shortly. You can get a new one from http://exercism.io/account/key. cheers -ben

Insecure issue tracker registration
by Manuel Leuenberger June 15, 2018

June 15, 2018

Hi, I announced my concerns on Discord already, but got no reaction, so I post it here as well to have it properly archived. "A colleague just noticed that the registration for the issue tracker is HTTP-only. This is not an appropriate choice for sensitive data like a password. Any possibilities to make this HTTPS-only? Link: http://tracker.pharo.org/issues-register-service, setting https:// manually does not work" >From my perspective this is a serious problem that should be quickly addressed, it's not just a nice to have feature. Not treating sensitive data with proper care leaves an image of not caring about user security and looks unprofessional. I don't think that is what Pharo needs. Cheers, Manuel

Is it bad to have an order NeoJsonObject?
by Tim Mackinnon June 12, 2018

June 12, 2018

Hi - Iâve hit some Json where the outputted values (they are field names) are written out in a specific order - and the author hasnât chosen to use an array to represent those fields in a specific order. { âfield1â : { â¦.}, âfield2â: { â¦ } } I think this is technically incorrect and should be: { [ {âfield1â : { â¦.}, âfield2â: { â¦ } ]} Anyway - given what Iâve got, would it be a terrible idea to create my own version NeoJsonObject and just make it a subclass of OrderedDictionary? I canât see any issues - but then I might be kidding myselfâ¦ Tim
