We made an integration of the examples finder for spotter a while back but I do not remember why I did not integrate it and now I cannot seem to find it. We can do it again as it's not that complicated :) The only issue is that compileSilently is not that silent. In spotter we need to permanently compile the query that you enter and compileSilently leaves a trace in the "recent changes" list: https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/15314/compileSilently-and-method-history-changes-file Cheers, Andrei > > cheers -ben > > > >
