Finding references to non existent classes in Pharo
by Tim Mackinnon March 11, 2024

March 11, 2024

Hi - I was convinced in earlier Pharoâs, if you had a code reference to a non existent class you could find it by searching for references to its symbol name eg #MyMissingClass allReferences (or find references in the UI). This doesnât seem to work in Pharo 11? I loaded a package with a missing class, and when running something it complained about the missing class (it was an announcement), but I couldn't find an easy way to find it in my code to correct it? I ended up creating the fake class to then find references to it (as I then had a class), which seems way over the top? I haven't had a chance to try this in Pharo 12, but shouldn't what I have done work? Or is there some new way to do this? I asked on Discord users, but didn't get a reply other than it rang a bell. I know there has been a lot of work in the area of how things are represented and I wonder if something has got broken by mistake? Tim

PharoFlipper
by Tim Mackinnon March 5, 2024

March 5, 2024

In case its useful to anyone - I got fed up with not having a ctrl-tab alternative in pharo (I find I frequently like to jump back to the last window/browser I was looking at - and used to love the Mirage utility which is sadly not broken and rather complicated to fix) - so I added a tiny little utility - PharoFlipper. It's not fancy, just does an LRU flip to previous windows via ctrl-1. It's a bit basic, in that the cycle reset is based on time, so you have to wait ~1s to reset the LRU cycle (vs. let go of the ctrl key) but it works well enough and might help others too. see: https://github.com/macta/PharoFlipper Tim

Is there a reason for the removal of Promises?
by donald.bryant.rich＠gmail.com Feb. 29, 2024

Feb. 29, 2024

Hi. I was hoping to use the Promise class as documented in the book on âConcurrent Programming in Pharoâ but it appears that they are not present in the latest version. Instead there is a TKTPromise class that has no slots or methods. Is there a reason for not having the Promise class before the implementation of TKTPromise? Thank you

Mailing list issues
by Hans-Martin Mosner Feb. 29, 2024

Feb. 29, 2024

Hi, I already wrote to pharo-users-owner(a)lists.pharo.org, but don't know how well that is monitored, at least I did not see an effect up to now (it's not been a lot of time, though). The mailing list is using a badly configured server, and that causes mail to be rejected. Host "lists.pharo.org" has IP address 176.58.125.247, and that's the address mails are being sent from. The PTR for that IP address is "prod3.harmonylists.io", which is apparently a name given by the provider. However, the domain registration for harmonylists.io seems to have expired, and the domain grabber who took it now points the domain to IP address 15.197.172.60. Postfix doesn't like that and therefore refuses to accept mail from that IP address. Please, whoever has a contact to either the pharo list maintainers or the mailing list provider, get them to fix this. Cheers, Hans-Martin
