[Pharo-users] SpecGenerator

I have a question about SpecGenerator. The video introducing SpecGenerator about 2 years ago says you start it with: MEApplicationList open. There's no open method in version 15 that I loaded from SmalltalkHub. How do you start the app?

Re: [Pharo-users] OmniBase for Pharo 6

Marco Thanks for this. Just for curiosity, did you test it just on Windows, or on other OSs as well. The logic of the Dec 2010 fix was that David Gorisek’s original, being developed on Dolphin, could not be guaranteed to work except on Windows. I only use Windows, so it is just curiosity. B

Re: [Pharo-users] NeoJSON sorting instance variables/properties

Just as a comment to Henrik, NeoJSON will already preserve the order of an OrderedDictionary. When working with Stef on the HTML scraping booklet, I decided to find a way to preserve the order of the selected items, partly for aesthetic reasons, but mainly to demonstrate that the output matched the

[Pharo-users] Pharo7, consistent image freeze/deadlock on snapshotAndQuit

Hi, I ran into a freeze issue when trying to save and/or quit an image after loading Seaside3 and Zinc (not an infrequent combination :) The cause seems to be that terminating processes in a `shutDown` handler (called on image shutdown / snapshot) leads to a deadlock (somewhere). Both Comet and

Re: [Pharo-users] NeoJSON sorting instance variables/properties

Hi Peter, This functionallity is already available in STON where it preserves the order when you use an OrderedDictionary. And was implemented for the usecase of dealing with fileout and versioning. Perhaps the same could be added to NeoJson so that instead of some magic flag you provide an Order

Marco: thank you for this. A few weeks ago when I was trying to find the "lock" problem I saw this method but I did not dare to change it; and just as you said I been using OminBase with no problem, but never runned the Garbage Collector, Surely I was going to have a bigger problem in the futur

Re: [Pharo-users] NeoJSON sorting instance variables/properties

Ah, you are right that it might not be human-friendly. I don't want to rely on the order, but for (file) versioning it is quite valuable. (or rather changing the order can easily make versioning quite worthless). I can manually sort it, but it creates a lot of mess: (NeoJSONWriter on: stream) pr

Re: [Pharo-users] NeoJSON sorting instance variables/properties

From json.org "An object is an unordered set of name/value pairs." IOW, it is not in the spec, it would be dangerous to rely up it in any way (not that you are suggesting that). It might look better sometimes, but even then alphabetic sorting might not be the most human friendly or most mea

Hi Arturo, First, I would not recommend too much to use the version on Pharo 6.1. That version is a preview version that is >6 months older than the new one in Pharo 7. This does not mean you cannot write a script, but we do not guarantee it will work in more recent version :). If you then settle

Hi Arthur, The starting point is the IceRepository. You can build you own repository with IceRepositoryCreator or get an existing one from IceRepository registry. Then on the repository you can call #pull. Christophe > Le 24 juil. 2018 à 20:09, Arturo Zambrano a écrit > : > > Hi All, > the
