RemoteTask does not work on Macos
I tried to run the parrarelExample method of RemoteTask class which is loadable from CommandShell project and it seems it looks for a plugin that cant find. It gives me a warning forkSqueak requires XDispalyControlPlugin if I proceed I get another warning process accessor module not available if i proceed I get MNU: receiver of "pid" is nil

I think that your VM is missing a couple of necessary plugins. The XDisplayControlPlugin is used to close the socket connection to the X display in the new child VM/image. You may also be missing the OSProcessPlugin. Note, I developed this in Squeak on Linux, so it may be that some work would be needed for Pharo. If you have a Squeak image handy, you might want to look at it there. Dave
ok thanks David :) On Mon, Dec 21, 2015 at 3:48 PM David T. Lewis <lewis@mail.msen.com> wrote:

That has the same problem, in both the Squeak5/Spur All-In-One version and the SQueak 4.6. I loaded OSProcess and CommandShell <head> from SqueakMap to try it Warning: forkSqueak requires XDisplayControlPlugin (Mac OS 10.10.5) Stephan

The OSProcessPlugin in found everywhere. It is called 4.3.3 Cog everywhere (Pharo Spur, Squeak 4.6, Squeak 5.0) OSProcess accessor osppModuleVersionString. In Squeak there is a UnixOSProcessPlugin.bundle in Resources, in Pharo Spur there is a plugins directory containing dylib's, but nothing named close to OSProcess. Is there any progress made to forkSqueak on mac since 2010? Stephan

Hi Stephan, I must apologize, I think I gave some bad advice here. I don't have a Mac, and I'm afraid that I was thinking in terms of the Unix VM code base. My expectation is that a Unix VM (interpreter, Cog, Spur) running on Mac with X11 display should work with the current RemoteTask, exactly as on on Linux. But I have not personally tried it, and I am not really sure what would be required to get it working on the standard released Mac VMs. Sorry for the confusion. Dave

No problem. AioEventHandlerTestCase>>testEnableHandleAndDisable AioEventHandlerTestCase>>testHandleForFile use anOpenFile := SourceFiles at: 1. in pharo SourceFiles is a SourceFileArray that doesn't respond to #at: but uses #fileAt: In all three, UnixProcessAccessorTestCase>>testRedirectStdOutTo fails at self deny: OSProcess thisOSProcess stdOut closed. and also UnixProcessTestCase>>testCatAFile fails at self shouldnt: [p initialStdOut closed]. "Shared stdout with the VM, should be open" Ignoring #safeToForkSqueak crashes Pharo as expected when running the forking tests :( Stephan
