Hello Esteban,

You can enable auto-refresh with:��GTInspector��enableStepRefresh
For performance reasons it is disabled by default. If you are curious why I think Andrei could explain a bit more :)

I want to know why is disabled and more than that, when will we be able to make it enabled by default, as before.

Mostly because it was finished just before the Pharo 6 release.
I'd say we can enable it by default for Pharo 7 and see if there are any issues.

Cheers,

Hi all,

Is there a way to enable the auto-update of instance variables display in the GTInspector?

There are cases where the instance is nil, I then initialize it somehow, but the variable is still displayed as nil.��

I know there is an "Update" button, which BTW should be labeled "refresh" instead, to do it manually, but hey, this is Smalltalk, we invented MVC :D

We can consider the previous as a feature, but what I think it is a bug is that if the variable is nil, and later it is initialized, nil is still displayed, but when clicked the nodes below it shows the variables of the new object in the instance variable.

E.g.
<image.png>

Is this a bug or a feature?
