But wait. What happens here is that we are mixing concepts.
1) On one side, there is Pharo's class model (the one we program with) =>
classes, metaclasses, methods. Let's call them the *real* classes and
methods. So if you want to add a method to your *real* class, you usually
have to
- compile a method
- add it to the method dictionary of the class
There are some helper methods that do all the work in one step, as
mentioned by Esteban:
myClass compile: someCode classified: aProtocolName.
That, is what happens when you use the browser (Nautilus in our case).
2) On the other side, there is the Refactoring browser framework (that is,
all classes prefixed as RB (except the AST nodes now)). The refactoring
browser implements refactorings (renames of classes and methods, pushing
up/down instance variables in a hierarchy, extracting methods into
classes). Of course, to apply these refactoring it uses the model and API's
provided by 1). But it's a completely different monster.
That means, adding a RBMethod in a RBClass does not mean that you are
adding a *real* method into a *real* class. That will not happen unless
that change is inside a refactoring and you apply the refactoring.
