It isn't only #changeDirectory: method that is missing. Method
#workingDirectoryPath: and instance variable workingDirectory are also
missing.
FileSystem >> changeDirectory: aPath
self workingDirectoryPath: (self resolve: aPath)
FileSystem >> workingDirectoryPath: aPath
aPath isAbsolute
ifFalse: [ self error: 'Cannot set the working directory to a relative
path' ].
workingDirectory := aPath
To solve my problem, I implemented those and also fixed
#initializeWithStore: and changed #workingDirectoryPath
FileSystem >> initializeWithStore: aStore
store := aStore.
workingDirectory := store defaultWorkingDirectory
FileSystem >> workingDirectoryPath
^ workingDirectory
Those are from Pharo 5. However, this breaks Monticello (when opening
Monticello Browser). A FileSystem instance has instance variable
workingDirectory set to nil. This should be impossible. I set 'self halt'
in #initializeWithStore:. It doesn't get triggered, which tells me the
instance isn't created by normal way. I don't know what's going on there.
To fix it, I changed #workingDirectoryPath to
FileSystem >> workingDirectoryPath
workingDirectory ifNil: [
workingDirectory := store defaultWorkingDirectory ].
^ workingDirectory
That solves my problem, but this is a specific tool. I don't know what
other problems those changes will cause. This #ifNil: guard is not in Pharo
5, so that makes me worry. In general, the change in FileSystem gives
impression that the it is intentional. But I haven't found the new Pharo
6.1 way to change working directory, if there's any.
