Tim, Another anomaly I found with the above, even with my code that does not reference the missing classes - but is contained within the same package of classes that do reference the missing classes (clear?)... my application crashes with an error that the reference could not be found. This may be something introduced after build #913 - where I wasn't getting these errors... and by build #1258 they appeared (may have also appeared earlier, but I don't recall). I had hoped to use the allReferences you listed above, but I had to run through all my classes and methods to find missing classes - the methods are highlighted, but lots of methods are highlighted for various reasons. When I found the offending methods - I had to "comment out" the references to get the method to then save... most of these were maintenance methods that are only still around for reference/documentation... I need to find another way :) It sure would be good to be able to see ANY missing references in one call so I could run that periodically to keep things clean.

Hi - I was convinced in earlier Pharoâs, if you had a code reference to a non existent class you could find it by searching for references to its symbol name eg #MyMissingClass allReferences (or find references in the UI). This doesnât seem to work in Pharo 11? I loaded a package with a missing class, and when running something it complained about the missing class (it was an announcement), but I couldn't find an easy way to find it in my code to correct it? I ended up creating the fake class to then find references to it (as I then had a class), which seems way over the top?
I haven't had a chance to try this in Pharo 12, but shouldn't what I have done work? Or is there some new way to do this? I asked on Discord users, but didn't get a reply other than it rang a bell.
I know there has been a lot of work in the area of how things are represented and I wonder if something has got broken by mistake?
