by Giovanni Corriga April 15, 2021

April 15, 2021

The next meeting of the UK Smalltalk User Group will be on Wednesday, April 28th. Esteban Lorenzano will give us an update on Pharo: What's new? What is updated? What remains? This talk will present (and show working!) the Pharo 9 roadmap and principal changes made to Pharo since the release of the previous version. Esteban studied Computer Sciences at Universidad de Buenos Aires, and worked since 1994 in many object-oriented and low-level technologies in different software companies, serving in various positions from junior programmer to senior architect. In 2007 he co-founded Smallworks to offer Pharo-based agile development projects. Since 2012 he dedicated full time to developing the Pharo code and community. He works for the Pharo Consortium in Lille, France, as lead developer for Pharo and being responsible with the coordination of new releases and the implementation and maintenance of several Pharo libraries.Given the current COVID-19 restrictions, this will be an online meeting from home. If you'd like to join us, please sign up in advance on the meeting's Meetup page ( https://www.meetup.com/UKSTUG/events/cbklbryccgblc/ ) to receive the meeting details. Donât forget to bring your laptop and drinks!

Problem with Pharo 9 - repositories missing
by david＠totallyobjects.com April 12, 2021

April 12, 2021

Hi everyone. I have a simple talk, or so I thought. I am trying to port a Mac Pharo/Seaside project to either a Windows 2012 server or to a Windows 10 laptop. I have set up my git credentials and that all works fine. However, when I install either 8.0 or 9.0 on my Windows 10 laptop it shows he following Repositories -- status Pharo Local repository missing Pharo-spec2 Local repository missing Pharo-newtools Local repository missing Iceberg Local repository missing Libgit-pharo-bindings Local repository missing tonel Local repository missing What on earth is going on here as installing Pharo on my Mac was seamless. I have to get the project onto a Windows machine as these are the only servers that I have. I really can't be this difficult, can it? How do I get out of this mess, given that that is a clean install? David Totally Objects

Understanding how to best structure branches to contribute to a 3rd party project
by Tim Mackinnon April 5, 2021

April 5, 2021

Hi Everyone - I tried asking this on Discord, but I think it got a bit lost - and perhaps for more philosophical questions, here is better. So - Iâm wondering what is the recommended way to work with another project you want to contribute to (in my case CodeParasides). So I know I can fork it and put the fork in my baseline. But Iâm assuming contributions are best done discretely on a branch per proposal (this seems to be the Pharo way - and it makes sense for ease of understanding), but if you have a few of these contributions in play (while the maintainer is evaluating them) would you then have your own âcombinationâ branch to consolidate all those fixes until they get merged in? Iâve started to try this, but merging between branches gets a bit tricky - a few times now it seems that Iceberg shows me misleading info on what is being added/removed (it always looks like my changes are going to be removed, when if fact they get added - so its a bit of a leap of faith on this). So Iâm wondering if Iâm overcomplicating things - or whether this is the suggested way to work with another project? Tim

Problem installing Seaside on Windows
by David Pennington April 2, 2021

April 2, 2021

Hi everyone. I have been developing a new web site using Seaside on my M1 MacBookAir and I have had no issues. To deploy it, I have to install Pharo on either a Windows 10 or a Windows Server 2012 server. Pharo has installed on both without any issues. However, I am having problems installing Seaside. I have Pharo 8.0 installed on both (64 bit version). If I try and install from the Catalog, I get the following error in the Transcript. IceGenericError: Failed to stat file 'C:/Users/david/Documents/Pharo/images/Pharo 8.0 - 64bit (stable)/pharo-local. If I try using Monticello, I get the following: Metacello new baseline:'Seaside3'; repository: 'github://SeasideSt/Seaside:master/repository'; load I got an error while cloning: There was an authentication error while trying to execute the operation: . This happens usually because you didn't provide a valid set of credentials. You may fix this problem in different ways: 1. adding your keys to ssh-agent, executing ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa in your command line. 2. adding your keys in settings (open settings browser search for "Use custom SSH keys" and add your public and private keys). 3. using HTTPS instead SSH (Just use an url in the form HTTPS://etc.git) I will try to clone the HTTPS variant. Can you help please? David Totally Objects

How can I get popups for the y values in a scatter plot such as the following: RSChart new addPlot: (RSScatterPlot new y: #(1 2 3)). Thanks, Evan

How to get top level menu item shortcuts to work?
by Tim Mackinnon April 1, 2021

April 1, 2021

Hi - I tried asking this on Discord, but it got lost in the day to day stuff - so trying here. I am a bit confused how Keyboard shortcuts work in P8 for World menus. I have a method with the <worldMenu> pragma, and I get aBuilder, and I create a top level menu item. Then to add a child, it seems that I just create a new #item: and set its #parent: to the new id I've created (all good), and then I set #keyText: 'r, o' and while it shows a menu item with CMD-RO in its text, the keystroke doesn't seem to work. I've tried different options even, 'o, x' but none of them trigger - so I must be missing something? Anyone know? My code looks like this (menuId = #Paradise - the top level menu item I have created) | menuId | (aBuilder item: (menuId := #Paradise)) order: 4.0; target: self; help: 'Tools to support Code Paradise projects'. (aBuilder item: #'Reload...') parent: menuId; help: 'Clear the session for a web application, and reload its''s page'; order: 15; keyText: 'r, r'; icon: (self iconNamed: #smallUpdate); action: [ self resetSession ].

Glamour: fastTables menu separator issue
by Federico.Balaguer March 30, 2021

March 30, 2021

Hello! I came across a problem with Glamour's fastTables, menu separators are not displayed. I have a running example based on PBE2CodeEditor example that shows the problem. I am not sure whether it makes sense to share that here. I spent a couple of hours trying to find the code that generate the menues with no luck (subclasses of GLMMorphicWidgetRenderer) . Could someone give me a hint where to look at? Thanks! Federico -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
