Re: [Pharo-users] Nautilus groups
I've never used the groups - mainly because I've never seen a sample workflow that I could copy, and my existing workflow is sufficient (which means I get a mess of windows plastered all over the screen as I follow senderimplementors, and could probably do better). btw, I've just spent 60 seconds trying to work out how to add an item to a group and could not. I don't even know what it groups - packages, classes, methods??? So I guess I ignored it, and once ignored, its a bit like that broken step in you building you always walk around without noticing. So discoverability of how to use it could be better, like something in the tooltip that links a more extensive tutorial on it, either in or out of image. cheers -ben On Tue, Feb 10, 2015 at 9:51 PM, Luc Fabresse luc.fabre...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Christophe, 2015-02-10 14:28 GMT+01:00 Christophe Demarey christophe.dema...@inria.fr : Hello, We would like to know if some of you use Nautilus groups functionality: - dynamic groups: 'Last modified packages', 'Most viewed classes', 'Work' I do not use dynamic groups. - user defined groups : from the menu, you can flatten the content of many packages and get all classes into the newly created group.

I would say something is wrong here ;-) Either something is wrong, or we feature it and rename PharoChangesCondenser#condense to PharoChangesExpander#expand :) Note that condensing changes on newly loaded code should not make much difference (in essence, all multiple versions of methods are reduced to 1). I think we should create some issues out of this. This is true, however I find a changes of 140 megs to be MASSIVE. I totally agree, this is unacceptable.

I remember loading ~4000 classes in the order of 10^6 LOC in Dolphin, and changes never got half that size. Sizes were ~28/55MB image/changes. The same in VAST, any image beyond the 20MB was an alert of something being leaked. Hmm, we need more tests and data points, I will try on Linux command line later on. I ran in it in Linux (Ubuntu) through the command line. Regards!
[Pharo-users] Changes file size
I always found it strange what effect loading Glorp had on an image, blowing it up. Looks like it is really an effect of the Glorp code. Maybe because it was initially exported from VW and then imported into Squeak/Pharo. I always thought slow loading is because of this or the long license texts in the classes. At least I had similar issues when I loaded the Glorp-EstebanMaringolo.92 from October 2014. I was not able to browse diffs, etc. when I wanted to clean up. Then I commited Glorp-TorstenBergmann.93 without real changes and things started to stabilize. At least I was able to browse the diffs afterwards and could refactor a little bit with Glorp-TorstenBergmann.94. Bye T.

Re: [Pharo-users] Spotter vs Spotlight was: [Re: Cleaning code completition's namespace]
What do you mean about all existing menus in the image? Right now, the default Spotter searches for the top level entries in the World menu and then lets you dive if you want. It can also be made easily to search for all menu entries from the World menu. Is that what you have in mind? At that moment i thought of searching on all existing menu entries, for example if Spotter-search for Browse menu-category results will include Browse scoped (an entry of a menu you get for classes on the ClassBrowser). Yet at this moment i'm not sure of how useful it could be. In this mail alone you list 4 different search tools: Finder, MessageBrowser, Spotlight, Search in Nautilus. Each of these behaves radically different without much of an added value. The whole philosophy of Smalltalk revolves around a minimal and uniform model that can be used to express elegantly any action. For example, Smalltalk has a simple syntax, and yet you can explain with that simple syntax all things for which other languages require lots of hardcoded constructs. The same rigor should be applied to the user interface. With Spotter we strive to reach such a simple model that can be infinitely moldable to fit custom needs. Now, besides elegance, if any, what else is there? Given that search is such a pervasive action, before I start anything I first want to find an entry point. That can be a method, a class, a file, or whatever other object. To this end, first people think of what tool to use and then of how to find the interesting object inside that tool. With Spotter we want to eliminate the first step: we just open Spotter and start searching for what we want. It's not quite there, but I think it is amazingly close to this goal. I liked a lot these paragraphs in theirself and also as a motivation for Spotter. 2) Not having the regular features of a window that are useful depending on the case, for shortcuting i would like volatile but for browsing results i could depending on the case prefer persistency . Certainly. The current solution focuses on search. Creating a persistent list of objects is still a work in progress but it is out of scope at the moment. If at the method GTSpotterGlobalShortcutopenGlobalSpotter one changes #openInWorld by #openInWindow , one gets the persistent behavior (it also includes the preview if opened). So now i can open a volatile or persistent Spotter, i'm going to have a keycombination for each one. In addition i get all the regular window behavior i in some cases want. This makes me really happy :) Only one little keybordian issue, Cmd+w doesn't close the window as usual, the same happens with GTPlayground. It would be nice if these come implemented so one doesn't have to add them. This already works. As explained before, something like: d #i will give you only the implementors of d. So, # will search for the name of the category. This feature is not yet complete in that it does not highlight properly the results, but could you try to see if this fits what you have in mind? I've just read about that, and also the last bit on custom categories on the blog. So now i will define a category for classes+selectors and map a keycombination to open a volatile Spotter on ti, and remove the 5 results limit (how do i do this?). This gives me my wanted selector/class shortcut Spotlight provided me, improving the annoying deficiency Spotlight has of showing no-longer defined names (i asked about it in a recent mail to the list). Having a shortcut (Cmd+Shift+ArrowUp/ArrowDown) to jump through categories, then why to limit the number of results in each category to 5? Why not to show them all to avoid the need of going into the category? Did you try compiling the method that I sent in the previous mail (basically just copy paste that method in the GTSpotter class)? It should provide the behavior of Spotlight. Please try and let me know if it works for you. Yes, it works at some degree. I face this issue, if i type 'openIn' i get only 1/1 selector #openeningDelimiters, and only if i continue to type 'openInW' i get 5/28 selectors. Also at some point i started to get an #inform: msg saying WorldState interCyclePause failed. So additions i would like to see built by default Cmd+w to close on GTSpotter and GTPlayground. Remove/know-how-to remove the 5 limit on results. Selectors category. Font size configured at SystemBrowser to have effect on GTSpotter both on search results and preview. To summarize i love Spotter and it will be the tool i use the most (in number of openings). Love, Laura

multi dimensional ordered collections I need something more, or maybe my
understanding of the visitor pattern is flawed.
The problem I am having here is that each time I parse a python type that
python type is not necessarily represented by different kind of node. For
example whether its a list or a tuple or a dictionary the same class is
used PyAtomNode. In order to differentiate between those diffirent python
types PyAtomNode has instance variables for right and left bracket,
parantheses, and curly. So my initial thinking is to check those instance
variables to see if they are nil and from that I can conclude which python
type I am parsing.
So I can preform simple ifs that check that the instance variable is Nil or
not but the question is if my strategy is a good one or a bad one.
I could define my own syntax to simplify the AST tree including different
nodes for different python types , because from the looks of it , it seems
it is a bit too verbose for my needs but On the other hand I am not so sure
because in the future my needs may become more verbose too.
So I am very close and ready to create my full python types converter for
pharo but I wanted some good advice before wasting time on something that
is not efficient.
By the way Thierry I have to agree with you Smacc is a very capable parser,
also I like the use of regex syntax, makes it uglier compared Pettit Parser
but I prefer the compact regex syntax to having to define and browse tons
of classes and send tons of messages. Also the Python support is very good
and I am impressed how easily SmaCC can parse whole python applications
since some of the test are very complex. Well done great work!

thank for your congratulations, because at times I fear I ask too obvious
questions. I have to say I find this parsing very complex but very
fascinating too :) Time to experiment with the visitor.

Ok thanks for the info, I am still however curious about these tests
are just tests (which may or may not happen) that determine the AST, for
example which node to use ?
'tests' is just there because, in the grammar, there is this at a certain
point:
testlist:
test 'test' , testlist
| test 'test' comma_opt
;
I have named this use of test 'test', so SmaCC has deduced that testlist
will be a list of test(s) nodes (or maybe other stuff such as atoms,
depending on the productions for test).. so, SmaCC, in each rule where
testlist is found, it will add a 'tests' instance variable.
So, basically, the grammar rules explain how each node can be decomposed
in sub-nodes, and the additional annotations (the 'test' naming and the
{{}} or {{}}) drive how the classes for the nodes you want to keep are
generated. In that testlist case, no node will be generated, but everywhere
testlist appear on the right of the rule, then it will add a 'tests'
instance variable.
Or are they tests related to unit testing class PythonParserTests ?
Not at all :)
Also you said I need to use the visitor created by PythonParser I assume
you mean PyRootNodeVisitor ? Just as it is explained in the AST chapter of
the documentation.
In my case this simple python list will need me to subclass it and
override method visitListmaker , the aListmaker passed as argument to the
method should I assume it is PyListmakerNode ?
In my experience, what you need to do is you have a look at the ast
generated and see if you can recognize the elements. From what I see in
your simple example, the key to your list is that PyAtomNode instance with
something in list. Once you have that, you know that you need to visit
PyAtomNode (and check that it has the [ ] tokens).
Looking into what is listmaker in atom in the grammar (congratulations by
the way, you have seen it :) ), you'll see that it creates a listmaker node
only in the first case: test followed by a list_for, otherwise it falls
back to testlist...

Hi kilon,
The tests instance variable is linked to the python grammar: top level
items in an expression are probably tests, and, through the grammar, tests
can be just atoms.
So the tests instance

[Pharo-users] recover lost changes
To whom can answer me Working with Pharo 3.0 I noticed for a while that I could not recover class definitions (do it's) from the Recent Changes. I also lost class comments on file-out / file-in . For the second problem I made the following test: 1. take a fresh Pharo 3.0 image (bundle for Mac OSX from Aug 29, 2014) 2. create MyClass with a class method and a comment. 3. file-out MyClass 4. remove MyClass on remove of MyClass I get an exception: https://www.dropbox.com/s/unq89t84tq7r60b/removeClass.tiff?dl=0 5. file-in MyClass The class is there - no error But: With the same exception in other images the comment is missing after file-in. Is this known? What does the exception mean? -- Hartmut Krasemann Königsberger Str. 41 c D 22869 Schenefeld Tel. 040.8307097 Mobil 0171.6451283 krasem...@acm.org smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature
Re: [Pharo-users] Nautilus groups
Excerpts from Christophe Demarey's message of 2015-02-10 14:28:19 +0100: We would like to know if some of you use Nautilus groups functionality: dynamic groups: 'Last modified packages', 'Most viewed classes', 'Work' do you mean 'last modified classes'? i use them. i find them much easier to use than having to type some regular expression to get the list i want. i wish they would work better though. for example, when i install new packages, i do not want them to show up in the 'last modified classes' maybe they can be placed in a separate group: 'last installed classes' also, when i create a new class, it does not show up until i add a method. which sometimes means i go have to search for the class by typing its name. i don't know what 'work' does, i never got anything when selecting that. user defined groups : from the menu, you can flatten the content of many packages and get all classes into the newly created group. i have not discovered this yet. We have the feeling that it is not used (or not a lot) and we think to replace it with another mechanism (for example, let the user define his/her 'favorites' classes / packages). how is that different from user defined groups? what i find important and useful about 'last modified classes' is that, as i work on many things, not only pharo, when i do get back to pharo, i can go: ok, where was i? then i click on 'last modified classes' and remember. without that i have to find some other way to remember before i can then type what i need to find the right classes. it may not be much, but having an easy way to see what i have been working on just feels more comfortable. greetings, martin. -- eKita - the online platform for your entire academic life -- chief engineer eKita.co pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.secaudium.net societyserver.org secretary beijinglug.org mentor fossasia.org foresight developer foresightlinux.orgrealss.com unix sysadmin Martin Bähr working in chinahttp://societyserver.org/mbaehr/
