Hi, Iâve noticed lately when using a reasonably recent Pharo 6.1 setup that if I restart a method in the debugger - particularly from a breakpoint or correcting a dnu issue the environment frequently locks up. Fearing the worst (after a few seconds), if I repeatedly press cmd . (Say 5 times) after 10 seconds more it comes back with 30 debugger Windows typically with something like Instance of Xxxx dnu: #someMethod (which is legit as I might have a now corrupt inst bar).
I understand the error, but why does it lockup and require the cmd . Dance?
I dont recall earlier Pharos doing this (and not other smalltalks).
Should I report this?
It was reported years ago [1], there was a bug and an issue, and it was supposedly fixed, apparently it wasn't. In some cases that recursion caused a "detachment" of the image from the changes, it is, the image starts complaining that it can't find the changes file, so all methods lose the source and you better discard that image without saving, because if you do, you'll never be able to "reattach" it. I don't know if it is still around in Pharo 7. Regards, [1] https://twitter.com/emaringolo/status/603939752098816000 -- Esteban A. Maringolo
