<p>Hi all,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>while loading a class (MyClass) with an attached pool dictionary (MyPool) today using Monticello, I encountered an error from MCPackageLoader which states:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;">
<p></p>
<div>Warning: This package depends on the following classes:</div>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<div>MyPool</div>
<p></p>
</blockquote>
<p></p>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This error message does not make sense to me since MyPool is not a class but a pool dictionary. But in MCClassDefinition >> #requirements, all #<span>poolDictionaries are explicitly added to the list of required items. If I exclude them from this list,
I get a warning "</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The pool dictionary MyPool does not exist. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Do you want it automatically created?" later from Class >> #sharing:. Is this a bug?</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I also tried to manually add the pool dictionary initialization (<span>Smalltalk at: #MyPool put: Dictionary new) into the preamble of the package, but this preamble is also evaluated too late (i.e., not before the dependency
warning is raised. Also, this feels a bit too redundant to me.</span></span><span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span><br>
</span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span>Do we need a new subclass of MCDefinition to create pool dictionaries automatically? Or could we just remove the confirmation dialog in Class >> #sharing: so that new pools will automatically be created, especially
in non-interactive CI contexts?</span></span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>Best,</span></div>
<div><span>Christoph</span></div>
