Re: [Pharo-users] Error:invalid utf8 input detected.

Hi Stef. I would have thought the VM initialize processing could be changed to avoid this problem, but I don't know the details :) If the problem cannot be fixed, or if it will take time, it would be good to have the work-around described in the "*Pharo By Example*" book. That is, to comment out or delete the line "ImageFile=Contents\Resources\Pharo-1.0.image" in Pharo.ini. Without this fix, a new Smalltalker will hit the error as soon as they try to use the PBE.image file. Image file management is one of those things that I like to get a clear understanding of at an early stage when learning a new dev environment. --Thomas Costick _____________________ http://twitter.com/3dbloke http://blog.3dbloke.com On 22 June 2010 17:47, StÃ©phane Ducasse [via Smalltalk] < ml-node+2264434-1701963449-299646(a)n4.nabble.com<ml-node%2B2264434-1701963449-299646(a)n4.nabble.com> > wrote: > thanks thomas. > This problem was reported on the squeak-vm mailing-list and there is not > much we can do. > May be I'm wrong. > > Stef > > On Jun 22, 2010, at 6:38 PM, tgc05 wrote: > > > > > Hi.

Instead, it just unifies APIs and then delegate (talks) to the particular database client library. This means that when you want to use OpenDBX with a particular database you need the OpenDBX library AND the database client library. This is explained here: http://www.squeakdbx.org/Compiling%20and%20installing%20OpenDBX Where do you have installed PostgreSQL? in your own machine? Be sure you have /bin in the $PATH. For example if you installed postgres in C:\PostgreSQL\8.3\ then you should add to PATH: C:\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin\ you will see libpq.dll is there, the problem is windows cannot find it. > Do I have to download all of them to run the tests? > Dlls ? No, you just need libopendbx dll and the dll of your backend. In you case, libpgsqlbackend. > Which leads to the next question... how are the tests supposed to run? Sorry. This is kind of hack/lazyness/lack of time. It is explained here: http://www.squeakdbx.org/GLORP%20integration (subtitle unit tests) In SqueakDBX I fixed this using a TestResource and brining a popup that let you choose which database you want to test. But I didn't have time to do it in GlorpDBX :( > Do > they need a MySQL/SQLite/PgSQL database server configured? > I don't know what configured means. What I can tell you is that for running the tests, you DO need a database running. And you have to tell Glorp which username/pass to use.

I never tried it with GlorpDBX :( SqueakDBX is working for sure with sqlite, but I have no idea about GlorpDBX. We test it (for the moment) with Postgres, mysql and oracle.

Re: [Pharo-users] Installing GlorpDBX on Pharo 1.1

by Esteban A. Maringolo

Don't ask me how, but I managed to install SqueakDBX and GlorpDBX on Pharo 1.1 :) What I wonder now is how to run the tests, because I downloaded the DLLs from OpenDBX website, put them on the VM directory, but if I try to run the tests most of them complains about the missing DLL, for example LIBPQ.DLL. Do I have to download all of them to run the tests? Which leads to the next question... how are the tests supposed to run? Do they need a MySQL/SQLite/PgSQL database server configured? By now I just want to use GlorpDBX with SQLite3 as its backend. There is a bunch of libXXXXXbackend-1.dll files with the OpenDBX binaries, but I don't think it's what I need. Thank you very much. ps: I'll try to find the missing DLL's and place them on the VM directory, and log it back here if it works. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Installing-GlorpDBX-on-Pharo-1-1-tp2263345p2263423.ht… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Pharo-users] What's the correct way to create anonymous subclasses in Pharo?

by Joachim Geidel

Mariano, Am 21.06.10 11:49 schrieb Mariano Martinez Peck: > Hi Joachim: if you figured out how to do it, it would be cool to write it down > in the http://book.pharo-project.org/ The problem is a bug in Squeak and Pharo, apparently at the VM level. Subclasses of classes in the specialObjectsArray create instances of their superclass when sent #new or #basicNew. I have already submitted a bug report for Pharo and should probably enter a similar one for Squeak: http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=2523 I have tested this only on Mac OS X 10.6, so it is possible that only the Mac OS X VM has this problem. It should be easy to check if it happens with other VMs too. Concerning contributions to Pharo and Squeak: I will restrict my work to JNIPort and won't get involved in any work on Pharo or Squeak. The reason is that I have a very limited amount of time to spend on open source projects, so I have to draw a strict borderline. Cheers, Joachim Geidel
