Thanks! And I want to give special thanks to Stef and to Alexandre Bergel for being generous with their time in helping me with my advocacy. It's just as you said, Offray: "We live in an attention economy" -- and the competition is *fierce*! (I think it's worse when you're dealing with educated professionals -- they work hard, they play hard, and there's little left over to "learn something new" sometimes. But I am not discouraged... I take the long view on this. Computers taught me patience. I'm using that now... ;^) -t -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

Hi Konrad, I'm the person at JPL who (somehow) got "The Powers That Be" here to agree to join the Consortium. I'm also the major champion of Pharo at JPL, and am leading an effort to get Pharo introduced & infused at JPL. I see the initial "market" for Pharo here to be: * Scientific & engineering data analysis & visualization, * Modeling and simulation, * Internal web servers, * Custom ground support & test systems, * Small-to-medium sized scripting to "support applications". I'm sure more application areas will open up as I get people to start using Pharo in their particular areas of expertise. I'm doing what I can be promoting Pharo, providing introductions & training, and I'm now working on demonstrations that can catch the attention of both engineers and managers -- to see the potential. Wish me luck! -Ted -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

Re: [Pharo-users] Checking baseline before publishing

by Dale Henrichs

Esteban, #record _is_ run against the baseline that is in the image if it is present. This is true for all of the Metacello commands - if the BaselineOf is present it is used, if it is not present it will be loaded. The #get command will load a fresh copy of the baseline from the repository. There is an option to ignore image state (#ignoreImage) when running #record (or any other command) to simulate loading into an "empty" image ... depending upon the volume of output, you could read the report to determine if the packages/projects that you are expecting to see are being loaded and of course if your goal is to expose outright errors #record should do that as well ...

Re: [Pharo-users] Checking baseline before publishing

by Esteban Maringolo

Hi Jonathan, I never thought of SmalltalkCI for that (I use Gitlab) but in essence it still requires a trial and error approach (of committing the Baseline and loading it afterwards to see if it works). Metacello has a "record" operation that basically does a dry run of the load, but I don't know if there is a way to do it using the Baseline in the image instead of one in a repository. Regards!

Hi Esteban, You might want to give smalltalkCI a try:Â https://github.com/hpi-swa/smalltalkCI I've recently started using it myself, with GitLab CI and GitHub Actions, but one of the cool things is that you can use it to test your build locally. For example, create a .smalltalk.ston file for your project which loads the baseline that you want to test, like this: SmalltalkCISpec { Â Â #loading : [ Â Â Â SCIMetacelloLoadSpec { Â Â Â Â #baseline : 'MyProject', Â Â Â Â #directory : 'source', Â Â Â Â #load : [ 'default' ], Â Â Â Â #onWarningLog : true, Â Â Â Â #platforms : [ #pharo ] Â Â Â } Â Â ], Â Â #testing : { Â Â Â #categories : [ 'MyProject-Tests' ] Â Â } } Then clone the smalltalkCI repo locally and open a terminal on its location, for example /Users/johndoe/git/smalltalkCI. You can then simply use smalltalkCI to build a Pharo image of your baseline, which effectively tests the correct working of your baseline: bin/smalltalkci -s "Pharo64-8.0" /Users/johndoe/git/MyProject/.smalltalk.ston By default, it will run all tests in the image, but you can change the list of tests being run by modifying the .smalltalk.ston file accordingly (seeÂ https://github.com/hpi-swa/smalltalkCI#testcase-selection) Hope this helps!
