[Pharo-users] How to write out simple Json?

I am stumped about how to write out some simple json (for a config file). I didn't think I need Neo, and STONJSON would be fine but it seems like creating items like: { 'id'-> self id. 'name' -> self name } gives an error about the association. I think you have to do: { ('id'-> self id)

[Pharo-users] The confusing state of SUnit

Forgive me father, for I have sinned… but when I try to right good tests, that fail in a way I can understand them it seems that SUnit doesn’t want to help me… Maybe I am missing something, but in 2019 it should be easy to write tests - particularly when we want people to contribute to adding

[Pharo-users] Why is #findString: in accessing?

I always struggle (even after years of casually using smalltalk) to find the String methods that do the heavy lifting (and are comparable to other languages). The methods are normally there, but they often have names that don’t compare well with other languages. I think that what doesn’t help

How does one go about testing an Iceberg/metacello baseline? Two parts to this actually - I want to check one under my control - and am wondering if there is a lint checker or some way to tell me what it will load (without having to check it in and try. Or if you do this - can you test loading

I've just been caught out with Intervals - why can't you do: 5 to: 1 do: [ :i | Transcript show: i printString] (eg a negative interval)? if you want to iterate down a series of numbers do you really have to do: 5 to: 1 by: -1 do: [… I always assumed that if x > y the step was automatically

Hi - I notice that you can sort of put comments on packages - but I’m not sure if this is working or if its supposed to work? When I type something it seems to create and extra Manifest tag, and then the comment that I type seems to be the same for the package and all of its sub tags? Is this

We noticed a weird problem when testing the pharo exercism project. When loading on Windows10 in a fresh 64bit image with the following evaluate in the playground: Metacello new baseline: 'Exercism'; repository: 'github://exercism/pharo-smalltalk:master/dev/src'; load. The project seemed
