I was asked a question about starting pharo exercism from the command line on Arch linux - seems the Pharo.image file isnât being found (but it was installed with AUR, which I am unfamiliar with).
Anyway - I tried using the command line on OSX ( I noticed they had used pharo, and not pharo-ui â which I never understood: why is it not pharo for ui and pharo-cmd for terminal, as it burns most people?) - and typed âpharo âhelpâ, and you get an impressive long list of commands - however it doesnât show you the useful Image commands anymore? So you would never know to use âpharo Pharo.image âlistâ.
A while back it showed you that - but its now gone which seems a shame?
I don't believe that it ever worked that way: as it is now the VM can only answer for his part, while the commands that are handled by the image can only document themselves. Yes, this could be improved. The pharo-ui vs pharo depends on your standpoint: I like the shorter one for the command line. We should not rename them, by join them, if that would be possible.
I also notice at the bottom of the list, its says the the image name defaults to Pharo.image - however I havenât noticed that works at all - you have to specify an image, so thats a bit misleading.
