Should I be reporting bugs in Pharo 3.0?
by Tim Mackinnon July 16, 2014

July 16, 2014

I don't want to create lots of noise - or create unnecessary work, but if I find bugs in Pharo 3.0, should I be reporting them? Or do you want me to try and repro them in 4.0 and then report them under 4.0? For example, I have a class that was a subclass of CustomHelp that overrode the class #pages method. I then decided to use Wiki help, and so moved my class to subclass Object, but then i noticed that the #pages method (which I was about to delete) still had an override green arrow symbol. Curious - I clicked it and got a walkback (as the UI is wrong). How do I report that? Do you want me to? I do have a fobgugz account. I've also noticed another error with the locked methods pane (not sure what to call it, and also really don't fully understand how it works). However it gets corrupted with long wrapping strings in the source. Do I report that?

Advice on making a first contribution
by Tim Mackinnon July 16, 2014

July 16, 2014

Hi guys - I've decided to try and use moments of spare time to see if I can contribute in small ways (and I'm sorry I can't contribute in big ways - but maybe I will get up to that point). Anyway - I've thought it would be handy to improve the help text in Pharo - as this it where I first looked to find out a few things about the new environment, and discovered that the help doesn't really provide help on the environment. So having scouted around and looked at the help engine - it seemed like easiest way was to use the WikiHelp support, and put a pragma in a suitable place (initially I subclassed CustomHelp - but I think that is for more sophisticated uses than just documenting some basic help). Anyway - I created a package called "Pharo-Help" - and so my first question is: Are there names I should avoid, or conventions I should follow for good package names? I've then created a class "PharoEnvironmentHelp" with a class method #wikiStyleHelp (which is a convention I've seen in other places) - and it reads the class comment so it's easy to edit. However - should I use a separate class for this? It does keep it out of the way - but it ends up not being a class that does anything - so I could put this text on something else that represents "Pharo" - or is this fine? I've also given it the name "? Pharo Help" so it appears at the top of the list - my thinking being that new users would probably expect intro help at the top and the "?" does this. Finally - how do I submit it? (and I'm happy to read up on this, if there is something that has it nicely documented).

Storing block closure code
by Norbert Hartl July 16, 2014

July 16, 2014

I was looking for a solution where I can have a textual grammar for a DSL in order to specify filters on objects. I didn't really search the net because I know a cute little DSL for that already. It is called smalltalk, you might have heard of it. So what I do is putting the filter spec into the image via an http interface, materialize the filter in image and store it in a database to have them survive image restart. A filter spec could look like this [ :value | ( self sectionLabelOf: value ) = 'device' ] I want to know if there is any trouble to expect if I'm using plain block syntax for that task. As the blocks are injected using an http interface there is no environment/context problem. I would have some helper class as a facade to ease the filtering let's call it FilterHelper (would have a class side method #sectionLabelOf:) So getting the block code via HTTP I could do block := Smalltalk compiler evaluate: request contents for: FilterHelper logged: false And I would serialize it into a database as a string again doing self store: block sourceNode formattedCode Are there any possible drawbacks using it this way? thanks, Norbert

FYI - I've raised a bug that the pharo website doesn't have a video showing how to report bugs anymore. 13553 - Reporting issues video on Pharo website reports "Does not exist" Not sure if it's right to raise an issue - but thought it made sense (and given I can't watch the video... ;) Tim -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/I-ve-raised-a-bug-that-the-Pharo-website-has-a-missin… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi, how can I get the names of the currently in my image loaded mcz files of a certain package? Example: The name of one of my packages is "RKA24-View". The currently loaded package version is "RKA24-View-SabineKnoefel.390.mcz" ==> I want to call a method with parameter "RKA24-View" and get "RKA24-View-SabineKnoefel.390.mcz" as result.
