Strange. I've never encountered this.

each should be a MCWorkingCopy.

I will try to take a look, but it might take a while.

In the meantime, can you locate the package in your configuration? Is it possible that something went wrong with Monticello?

Cheers,

this is strange since I could snapshot moose and synectique using it. 

I'm about to write a boring report so I'm not allowed to open Pharo right now.

I am giving a shot at Snapshotcello since it looks like a superb solution for creating images properly from a complex configuration.

From http://www.tudorgirba.com/blog/snapshotcello-take-a-snapshot-when-you-re-ready, I tried to craft a call for my configuration.

I've loaded ConfigurationOfSnapshotcello #development in Pharo20.

Then tried the calls and there were some API changes (from the tests, I found out the incantation).

Snapshotcello new

configurationClass: ConfigurationOfHOWebStack;

sourceVersion: #development;

targetVersion: '0.3-snapshot';

snapshot.

But then I faced a problem with a DNU on 'asEnglishPlural' for a categorization. No big deal, I commented that out as I could live with that.

But then I faced something more difficult (the compileSnapshotWithCurrentPackages: aNumber worked in the self generateSnapshotWithCurrentPackages: aNumber...

It took a lot of time to get the whole config loaded... (so, the progressbars worked and worked)

Then, it failed on giving: "PostMortem: MNU: nil>>ancestry"

self workingCopiesFromConfiguration do: [ :each | codeStream tab; tab; nextPutAll: '#('; nextPut: $'; nextPutAll: each ancestry ancestorString; nextPutAll: '.mcz'; nextPut: $'; nextPutAll: ' '; nextPut: $'; nextPutAll: (self repositoryNameForWorkingCopy: each); nextPut: $'; nextPutAll: ' '; nextPut: $'; nextPutAll: each package name; nextPut: $'; nextPutAll: ' ) ' ] separatedBy: [ codeStream cr ]. codeStream cr; tab; nextPutAll: ')'. ^ codeStream contents

Oops. each is nil...

Anyone having faced that?

Debugging...
