[Pharo-dev] Commit custom Slot

[Aliaksei Syrel]

Hi,

We faced a problem with committing and loading packages with Slots. It
seams like when loading a package, compiler first compiles a class that
uses custom Slot and only then Slot itself. It leads to an error like
MessageNotUnderstood: CustomSlot>>index:, but index: is implemented for
sure! I'm using the latest image and vm.

How to reproduce:

1) Create CustomSlot:

Slot subclass: #CustomSlot
  instanceVariableNames: ''
  classVariableNames: ''
  category: 'CustomSlot-Test'

Implement the following methods:

index
  ^ index

index: anIndex
   index := anIndex

read: anObject
  ^ anObject instVarAt: index

write: aValue to: anObject
  ^ anObject instVarAt: index put: aValue.

2) Add our custom class:

Object subclass: #CutomClass
  slots: { #var => CustomSlot }
  classVariables: {  }
  category: 'CustomSlot-Test'

3) Commit
4) Try to load in fresh image
5) Face error

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Alex
