I wish there were ePUB versions of Pharo books
by MartinW Feb. 26, 2016

Feb. 26, 2016

I like Pharo's new book site: http://files.pharo.org/books/ And since I use a tablet more often, I wish there were ePUB versions of the books. Why is it important? You could change the color scheme to light text on dark background and increase font sizes and thus have a much more comfortable reading experience than with PDFs. I remember there was some talk about this some time ago. Best regards, Martin. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/I-wish-there-were-ePUB-versions-of-Pharo-books-tp4880… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

MetaLink invocation with method returned value
by Alain Rastoul Feb. 25, 2016

Feb. 25, 2016

Hi, I would like to trace returned values with MetaLink, but didn't found the correct #arguments: parameter. Here in my example I would like to call aMethodCall:returned: with the return value of aMethodCall: (the method on which the link is installed) (MyObject>>#aMethodCall:) ast link: (MetaLink new metaObject: myObject; control: #after; selector: #aMethodCall:returned: ; arguments: #( arguments object)). object is myObject not the returned value, value does not work, and I didn't found any one working. Does anyone know the correct invocation and can help me ? Many thanks regards, Alain

short spotter demos
by Tudor Girba Feb. 24, 2016

Feb. 24, 2016

Hi, The recent debates around Spotter, showed that some of its features are not well understood. In an effort to document it more thoroughly I created a couple of (very short) videos. They have no sound. Please take a look and let us know what you think.

Help with trying to publish my project in the Pharo Catalog
by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas Feb. 24, 2016

Feb. 24, 2016

Hi, We will have our first half data week[1] from Thursday 25 Feb to Saturday 27 Feb, and I would like to ease the grafoscopio's installation by making it available via the Pharo catalog. I have followed the video at [1] and published my stable configurationOfGrafoscopio, but I can't see it on http://catalog.pharo.org/ despite of giving it the proper time to the process to run (it runs at 6 pm Colombian time). [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5Dbmmln8tA I think that I have followed properly the instructions but I don't know what I'm missing and I'm a little worried about the catalog generation being run 24 four hours, which gives me only two more attempts to know what I'm doing wrong before the event starts. How can I check that the publishing procedure was fine? In a related matter, How can I made the installation procedure to run something at the end of it, like "GrafoscopioBrowser startDockingBar", so the new interface elements inform the user about a proper installation? Of course I could try the previous ways to install and use grafoscopio, but I think that making it smoother on each workshop/hackathon is better (the problem is that most of these ideas come while the event is getting closer). Cheers, Offray

help needed for testing the order in spotter
by Tudor Girba Feb. 24, 2016

Feb. 24, 2016

Hi, We need a bit of help with testing the order in Spotter. We do not have a real solution yet, but the current one should improve the situation. We need a bit of feedback for this one: https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/17656/Spotter-should-sort-search-results Essentially, you would need to load the latest GT-Spotter and GT-SpotterExtensions-Core and let us know if it works better for spotting implementors or classes.

Re: [Pharo-users] [Moose-dev] Call for action for Roassal

I do not get this. Relying on the baseline is not enough? Roassal is very simply packaged. Only 4 packages: Roassal, Trachel, Roassal2Spec, Roassal2GT. It is very unlikely that this list of package will grow (not until we have a Git integration at least). You can make your configuration directly point to these packages no?

> - the possibility to place hangout of the edges on nodes (as box) more flexible. Indeed, I am reverse engineering a database containing around 80 tables and lot of foreign keys and the result is not readable since the edge are orthogonal starting from the top or the bottom of the box corresponding to the column name.

Strange behavior of Pragma>>#allNamed:in:
by Julien Delplanque Feb. 24, 2016

Feb. 24, 2016

Hi, I experience a strange behavior with Pragma>>#allNamed:in: When I use Pragma allNamed: #myPragma in: MyClass It works as expected. But when instead of hard-coding "MyClass" I use "self class" in an method (instance side), Pragma allNamed: #myPragma in: self class returns an empty array. What can I do about it? Julien

curiousity, ensure unwind block priority inheritance
by Ben Coman Feb. 23, 2016

Feb. 23, 2016

Just thought I'd share something enlightening I learnt today, a curious surprise... When a process is terminated, the #ensure: unwind block effectively inherits the priority of the terminator process. Thus the following... log := OrderedCollection new. s := Semaphore new. p := [ [ log add: 1. s signal. log add: 4. ] ensure: [log add: 5] ] forkAt: 30. s wait. log add: 2. "p terminate." log add: 3. 100 milliSeconds wait. Transcript crShow: log. ...gives {1 2 3 4 5} as expected. However uncommenting the terminate statement produces {1 2 5 3}. Quite non-intuitive** to have the "5" code inside the priority 30 block execute before the "3" code of the priority 40 of the UI/Playground. **meaning it bit me for a few hours trying to understand some ProcessTests related to Case 17588. cheers -ben
