[Pharo-users] Having to press step into twice, to actually step into with debugger?

2019-03-13 Thread Tim Mackinnon
Has anyone else noticed that you often have to click 2 times, to step into some things in the debugger? I had some code like this: MyClass verify And had a break point on #verify, which the debugger stops on, but then I have to click into, twice to go through the code? Is there something

Hi Peter - yes the beach ball is the mac equivalent of the spinning circle , but it seems to appear more often than I expect - just web browsing or reading email and then flipping back incurs that sane delay? This is on a 16gb MacBook Pro. I don’t recall this in Pharo 6 the same, but I’m doing

Tim I have never seen a spinning beach ball, but I often find, when coming back to Pharo after using some other application, that there is a delay of a few seconds, during which time I see the standard Windows 'hang on a bit' signal, which is a blue ring near the cursor. My assumption is that

Well... I wasn't aware such client existed. #facepalm Looking at it, it seems to fulfill the pending features I was talking about, including the option to use Pharo as a View server! (running map/reduce operations) and the Mango Queries (it's not a typo of Mongo, it's a different thing [1]). It

Byte arrays are not host specific. True. But integers are not byte arrays. They don't even contain byte arrays. Just like (boxed) Floats are not word arrays and don't contain word arrays. For what it's worth, I find that it's quite unusual for a method to change from private to public or vice

Hi guys - this has come up before in the past - but I’m really noticing it now having worked on a project for a few weeks. Every time I go into my image (by go into - I mean unsuspend my laptop and start using as its the current app, OR flipping to it from say reading email) I get a shining

Hi All, I'm primarily a Windows user and I am finding the default key mapping very un-windows and it's preventing me from becoming immersed in the environment. Because I'm constantly having to reach for the mouse to switch windows etc. How easy would it be to change the key mapping to

Let's start with portability. I have ST/X, VAST, VW, Squeak, Pharo, GST, Dolphin, and some minor systems. GST and ST/X do not define #at: on any kind of integer at all. Why would they? #basicAt: will do the job, will it not? Dolphin defines #at:[put:] on Integer as self shouldNotImplement and so
