Package for building class diagrams
by Laura Risani April 24, 2015

April 24, 2015

Hi all, Is there any package to build class diagrams? I've seen one somewhere but can't remember where. Any other tool / diagram type you find useful as visual support for the description of a system? Best, Laura

What's new on Pillar ?
by Cyril Ferlicot April 24, 2015

April 24, 2015

Hi everyone ! I'm currently working on Pillar ! It's been a little while now so I wanted to share what's new. --> First of all, with Stephane we created a new project, Cocoon, based on the configuration system of Pillar. And now Pillar uses Cocoon for his configurations. http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~PharoExtras/Cocoon --> Pillar unit tests weren't working on Windows before --> With Damien we also added two new abstractions: --> The transformers: They take the Pillar tree and modify it. For exemple we have a transformer which evaluates the scripts with a "eval=true" parameter. --> The annotations: They let the writer specify many different things in their document using just 1 syntax (see below for an example) --> We now have our first annotation tag: the inclusion tag ! If you add this: ${inputFile:test.pillar}$ or ${inputFile:folder/test.pillar}$ into your Pillar file, that will include the content of test.pillar. I recommend for now to use it at the root of the pillar file and not inside a paragraph. That still needs some improvement. --> We now have a transformer which adds an anchor after each title. The anchor will have the text of the title. This still needs some improvement, it's really simple for now. For exemple we need to consider the case where we have 2 titles with the same text (like 'introduction'). --> Now you can add 'lineNumber=true' as parameter for a Script. This will add a numerotation at your script, usefull if we want to explain a long code. --> I did some refactorisation on the parameters used by pillar to clean the code. --> I did some refactorisation of the template system, the old one was really ugly and changed the baseDirectory. Now template are managed by a stream and not a file. --> I improved a little the configuration --> Now if you want to change the baseDirectory you can pass a FileReference, a relative path or an absolute path. --> Now we look for the inputFiles from the baseDirectory and not the working directory like before. You can also pass a FileReference, a relative path or an absolute path. --> I added some tests to Pillar. --> I added some doc to EnterprisePharo https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/EnterprisePharoBook/lastSuccessf… --> To help the users I improved the error reports. Before we had really few errors specific to Pillar. For this one you can help me ! If you found a weird error or something really not easy to deal with, send me your problem ! -- Cheers Cyril Ferlicot

Test to fix first
by Laura Risani April 24, 2015

April 24, 2015

Hi all, Made a little extension of method TestSuite>>run in order to print to the Transcript a suggested test to fix first among the failing ones. Logic is based on comment in "Modeling Examples to Test and Understand Software" ( http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/Supervised.html ). Run test TestResultMsgsTest for example usage. To get the package Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'squidik' project: 'TestToFixFirst'; package: ' TestToFixFirst'; load. Comments? Best, Laura

QualityAssistant v0.4
by Yuriy Tymchuk April 24, 2015

April 24, 2015

Hi everyone! Probably most of you know, that I am developing a tool called QualityAssistant, which displays current critics about your code in SystemBrowser, Inspector and Spotter. Iâm happy to tell you that there is a new release v0.4 which does not require you to do any previous setup! Just load it from configuration browser (pharo 4 & 5) and it will start giving you feedback. More details can be found here: https://github.com/Uko/QualityAssistant#quality-assistant-beta- <https://github.com/Uko/QualityAssistant#quality-assistant-beta->. If you are upgrading from older version, it is recommended to load QualityAssistant into a fresh image, because multiple announcement and process changes may cause exceptions in old objects. Even if you are an experienced programmer you can find QualityAssistant useful for instantly spotting typos or making sure that you didnât forget some details about your code. Please give me a feedback about your experience, as I want to make it even more useful. Either write me an email, or open an entry at: https://github.com/Uko/QualityAssistant/issues Have a nice week! Uko

SoundSystem subclassing
by Mark Rizun April 23, 2015

April 23, 2015

Hi, I was investigating how to play sounds in Pharo, and found SoundSystem class. It is stated that you should subclass it, like DummySoundSystem does. Is there any cool subclass (besides DummySoundSystem =D ) already implemented so I can use it? Thanks, Mark -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/SoundSystem-subclassing-tp4821475.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Time traveling Pharo
by Johan Fabry April 23, 2015

April 23, 2015

Hi all, finally having some time to develop again, I downloaded the 4.0 image sources and vm (http://files.pharo.org/get-files/40/pharo.zip et cetera) through the links on the downloads page. Itâs a bit strange that the image version is 5000, but OK I can understand it. More funny is the time traveling behavior that occurs when doing World->System->About. It says: Pharo5.0 Latest update: #50000 [â¦] Time-traveling from next year back to today! Wow! :-P ---> Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org <--- Johan Fabry - http://pleiad.cl/~jfabry PLEIAD lab - Computer Science Department (DCC) - University of Chile

You love success stories, us too
by stepharo April 22, 2015

April 22, 2015

Hi guys http://pharo.org/success I know that you love success stories and we love them too. So to get success stories we need people to give us theirs. A success story is simple! - you do not have to been able to buy google based on your cash flow - you do not have to buy apple either - you have to have a solution to a problem and it should be in Pharo - it can be technical - it is good if there is a business value but this is not mandatory A success story is two paragraphs - one paragraph for your cool app/solution is - one paragraph for how cool pharo is - if you have a visual support even better Stef
