Re: [Pharo-users] glorp

by ClÃ©ment Bera

Hello, I think Glorp is used with DBXTalk for relational databases by multiple people. Usually, with Pharo, people use as a persistance layer either MongoDB with the frameworks MongoTalk/Voyage. Gemstone is also used quite often for large scale application but Gemstone is not free. Regards. 2014-04-23 20:34 GMT-07:00 Pablo R.

I assume that there is a method need to be tested, but it calls towards an other either public or private method of the same object. And you'd like to mock that second method. Am I understanding correctly? Why can't just allow the first method to call the second one? Is it slow, complicated to setup or requires some external resource to execute? Does it help to extract the logic from the second method to an other object? Without a concrete example, I'm just speculating. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/ANN-BabyMock-2-tp4748530p4756105.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Pharo-users] [OT] TDD is dead. Long live testing. (DHH)

by Esteban A. Maringolo

TDD is great if you don't know the domain you're modeling, or if it isn't completely specified. Because you end up having the required functionality completely tested. On the other hand, if you are an expert in the domain, you'll implement features that are beyond the required (initial) specs, so you'll code ahead of the specs, and doing everything TDD will be a burden.

TDD does not convince me much either, I see it as a convenience but I am not so sure it really worths its time. Maybe because there too few coders out there that would make changes that will massively affect the system, or they wont do some form of testing anyway. I can see the benefit of TDD when you code apps or libs with objects that are highly dependent on each other and you want to make sure you dont brake anything, but I doubt thats a common case. And not even Pharo has convinced me to use tests, though that is the common practice.

Hello Esteban, I am not sure it matches the situation. Did you see my screen shot with the modal morph embedded in a parent morph? All but the modal morph should be locked but perfectly visible.

Re: [Pharo-users] [OT] TDD is dead. Long live testing. (DHH)

by Esteban A. Maringolo

Testing has become more necessary in the context of Continuous Integration and automated building. You can't have those without test coverage. On the other hand, TDD is rather difficult with tools that doesn't allow you to develop inside the debugger, which is basically everything out there that is not Smalltalk. It's no surprise TDD was born in Smalltalk. I don't agree with the notion of testing the full system, including DBs, I/O, etc. I'd also mock as few as possible. Constraining yourself to test without external dependencies and without mocking (as far as possible) helps you build loosely coupled systems, with a lot of interchangeable parts (pluggables/strategies/etc.). Though as David says, testing is not a religion nor a dogma, and sometime you include a separate set of tests to test the WHOLE layers of your system. But those tests are run separately. Regards!
