Changes-File & caching
by Markus Fritsche June 7, 2013

June 7, 2013

Hello, I reported a bug I found in https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?10849_d0g95e46s78671vi The issue was closed in fogbugz. I couldn't really figure out why, until I looked at Penelope to find out that bug was considered a duplicate. I had a hard time finding that information and the information on the duplicate (I could figure it out yesterday night, but can't reproduce the way to find the information today). From what I understood yesterday, this bug is supposed to be fixed in Pharo-3.0? The images that are offered for downloading seem to all include this bug. I have a notebook with ubuntu-13.04 and 8GB RAM, of which around 7GB are used for hard disk caching. As far as I understood from reading the bug tracking entries, heavy caching triggers the bug earlier? Anyhow, with this bug, the changes file gets garbaged (or, at least, the pointers to it) and the image is unuseable. Abandoning the RemoteString error message looks to the user as if the issue wasn't all that bad, but is a nuclear attack on the image soon to come. Correct me if I am wrong please. About issue tracking: is the process closed to the public on purpose? I have to admit I misused the google code bugtracker in the past, because I reported an incident from the user point of view and later learned, that the bug reporting & fixing process was meant to be used only from a developers perspective. When I have a "user" issue - am I supposed to report to the mailing list instead and an issue will be created by the pharo core team? Kind regards, Markus

Questions about Magma
by Thushar G R June 5, 2013

June 5, 2013

Hi all, I am new here in this list. I have already asked this question in stack overflow, but not much luck. So i thought ill contact the gurus directly. I am considering Magma to be used for one of my projects , which is nothing but a custom game center to connect my game and store user details and retrieve it. This would be the first time that i will be using pharo for one of my projects ( in fact this is the first time that i am able to decide for my self - the client has not preferences in terms of technology selection). So my concern is this, is Magama upgraded to be used in Pharo 2.0? What if i load it and change the SystemChangeNotifiers with SystemAnnouncer and so on , will it cause any trouble in the future. I Appreciate any comments for this. Regards thushar

Tests not recognized by the tester.
by Mohammad Al Houssami (Alumni) June 4, 2013

June 4, 2013

Hello All. I have gone through the SUnit chapter in the PBE book. I tried to do the same but the test runner doesn't seem to recognize the test. I have noticed there are grey circles next to tests in other packages which is not the case in my test. There is nothing significant about the other classes. I have overridden the setup method. The class name shows the grey circle but not the tests. Thanks Mohammad

3D and Pharo - Blitz3D SDK & NB
by phil＠highoctane.be June 3, 2013

June 3, 2013

Hello, As holidays are nearing for me (like 15/7-15/8), I plan to get the Blitz3D SDK working with Pharo through NativeBoost. All right, this is not OpenGL or anything like that, and will only work on Windows. But I do know the commands and how to use it, hence my choice. Anyone wanting to join me in doing this? Phil
