That Metacello code snip did not update the ConfigurationOfZincHTTPComponents to the latest version, so actual stable version was not loaded :( Weird. pf

Yes, those .TheIntegrator versions are not real, can't explain that further.

If you want to go to the very latest version, you also have to load the latest version of ConfigurationOfZincHTTPComponents first, else you get an older latest version (yes this is a bit confusing, but it makes perfect sense when you think of it).

All this is normally done by the Metacello mechanism. Here is how you can do that in direct scripting:

Metacello new configuration: 'ZincHTTPComponents'; repository: 'http://mc.stfx.eu/ZincHTTPComponents'; version: #stable; load: #('Core' 'WebSocket' ).

(Untested though).

I can't understand a mess in Zinc packages versions. I downloaded fresh 6.1 (32bit) image from pharo.org, opened Monticelo Browser and searced for 'Zinc-HTTP' package. There is version Zinc-HTTP (TheIntegrator.461). Repository info points to "http://mc.stfx.eu/ZincHTTPComponents" by default, so I opened the repository and there is no packages with "TheIntegrator". Even version numbers are different - version SvenVanCaekenberghe.461 is different if I diff it. It looks like the version TheIntegrator.461 is close to SvenVanCaekenberghe.453.

Next test: when I run this code in fresh image:

ConfigurationOfZincHTTPComponents project load: #stable

there is Zinc-HTTP (SvenVanCaekenberghe.453) after load. Why not 475 (it's stable or not)?

And now, I'm totally confused.

Hi Petr,

I also have

project: 'ZincHTTPComponents' with: [ spec className: 'ConfigurationOfZincHTTPComponents'; repository: 'http://mc.stfx.eu/ZincHTTPComponents'; loads: #('Core' 'Tests' 'REST' 'AWS'); versionString: #stable ];

in my main project, which has not changed in years and always works, AFAIK.

I also use(d) the load expression

ConfigurationOfZincHTTPComponents project load: #stable

a lot and it normally works.

Metacello sometimes acts weird when you already have code/projects loaded.

I am afraid I don't know what could be wrong.

Sven

Hello,

I am trying to load stable Zinc as dependency in my project, like this:

... project: 'ZincHTTPComponents' with: [ spec className: #ConfigurationOfZincHTTPComponents; versionString: #'stable'; loads: #('Core' 'WebSocket' ); repository: 'http://mc.stfx.eu/ZincHTTPComponents/' ]. ...

I need WebSocket package, whiuch is not loaded by default and updated Core package (there is new method ZnClient defaultEncoder: - I need this).

Actual stable version of ZincHTTPComponents is 2.9.4 (for Pharo 6.x) and in this 2.9.4 stable version, there is Zinc-HTTP package with version Zinc-HTTP-SvenVanCaekenberghe.475.

Default version in Pharo 6.1 image is Zinc-HTTP-TheIntegrator.461.

After my project configuration load, there is no updated Zinc in my image.

When I try to load manually by:

ConfigurationOfZincHTTPComponents project load: #stable.

error dialog occurs complaining about Zinc-HTTP have unsaved changes in the image (load/merge/cancel) - so, maybe, automatic load of Zinc as project depenedency is ignored due to this reason.

How to solve this situation? Can I force dependency to load (in my project ConfigurationOf)?

Thanks! Petr Fischer
