Hi,
I'm trying to modify the context menu of the code editor through modification to SmalltalkEditor class >> smalltalkEditorMenuOn:
Hi Ala'a
testing the modification with (PragmaMenuBuilder pragmaKeyword: 'smalltalkEditorMenu' model: nil) menu popUpInWorld
The context menu for Nautilus code pane works a bit different. Can you test if your modifications are working in Workspace (or the workspace are in a basic inspector).
succeeds, and shows the final shape of the menu that I want (photo attached), but the actual one used by the system is messed up! (photo attached)
I tried also to execute TextEditor class >> initialize, but that did not help.
Another thing I did was trying to find senders and references to the SmalltalkEditor class >> smalltalkEditorMenuOn, and find none! (So who is calling that with a 'aBuilder'?), and the only implementation of it is the one I'm trying to update (more confusion - pardon the puzzled newbie).
The smalltalkEditorMenuOn: method, containing the smalltalkEditorMenu-Pragma is not called explicit. Instead, there is a Method SmalltalkEditor class >> smalltalkEditorMenuKeyword that returns the pragma name ('smalltalkEditorMenu') used to collect all methods using this pragma for defining the menus. For Nautilus, there is another step involved. First it calls SmalltalkEditor yellowButtonMenu this will ask for the pragma (SmalltalkEditor class >> smalltalkEditorMenuKeyword) and builds a menu from every method using this pragma (here only the method SmalltalkEditor class >> smalltalkEditorMenuOn: ). NOW it modifies this menu and adds (from all methods using the pragma <nautilusGlobalSourceCodeMenu> and reorganize some more entries (this is ugly, yes).
Attached are the photos for the original menu, target menu and the messed up menu.
I'm using Pharo 4.0 from the official download for Linux from Pharo.org.
my system is the following: Linuxmint 17.1 Rebecca 3.13.0-37-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP
What I'm doing wrong? and/or what I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Regards,
Ala'a
