OCompletion issue
by recursive68＠gmail.com 05 Dec '10

05 Dec '10

Hi, I'm trying to get OCompletion installed on Seaside 3.0 - Squeak 4.1 OneClick image using Metacello and I'm running into issues. If I open a workspace I'm getting the following error: MessageNotUnderstood: SmalltalkImage>>hasBindingThatBeginsWith: SmalltalkImage(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand: #hasBindingThatBeginsWith: SHParserST80>>resolvePartial: SHParserST80>>resolve: SHParserST80>>parseTerm SHParserST80>>parseBinary [] in SHParserST80>>parseKeyword BlockClosure>>ensure: SHParserST80>>parseKeyword SHParserST80>>parseCascade SHParserST80>>parseExpression SHParserST80>>parseStatement SHParserST80>>parseStatementList [] in SHParserST80>>parse: BlockClosure>>ensure: SHParserST80>>parse: SHParserST80>>parse SHParserST80>>rangesIn:classOrMetaClass:workspace:environment: SHTextStylerST80>>rangesIn:setWorkspace: SHTextStylerST80>>privateStyle: [] in [] in SHTextStylerST80(SHTextStyler)>>styleInBackgroundProcess: SmalltalkImage(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand: #hasBindingThatBeginsWith: SHParserST80>>resolvePartial: SHParserST80>>resolve: SHParserST80>>parseTerm SHParserST80>>parseBinary [] in SHParserST80>>parseKeyword BlockClosure>>ensure: SHParserST80>>parseKeyword SHParserST80>>parseCascade SHParserST80>>parseExpression SHParserST80>>parseStatement SHParserST80>>parseStatementList [] in SHParserST80>>parse: BlockClosure>>ensure: SHParserST80>>parse: SHParserST80>>parse SHParserST80>>rangesIn:classOrMetaClass:workspace:environment: SHTextStylerST80>>rangesIn:setWorkspace: SHTextStylerST80>>privateStyle: [] in [] in SHTextStylerST80(SHTextStyler)>>styleInBackgroundProcess: I've tried reinstalling multiple times with a new image and keep running into this and a similar error. Previous error occurred when creating a subclass and auto-completion trying to run when typing the class name and failing with an error, similar to the one above (can't remember exact details). It is driving me nuts. Any ideas ? Thanks

Getting directory path?
by Kouma 05 Dec '10

05 Dec '10

Hi there, I'm trying to work out how to play sound in squeak and used this: (SampledSound fromWaveFileNamed: 'wave file path') play. Worked fine, but what if I want to add new music from a morph? For instance I have a button, which opens a browser and let me copy the path of a file. How can I take out that path and put in the SampledSound? (providing it copies the path to clipboard) Also, I couldn't figure out how to play other type like mp3, ogg, mid and so on. Wav is very large to be honest. Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Getting-directory-path-tp3071614p3071614.html Sent from the Squeak - Beginners mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Class variables with the same name as an existing class
by Sean P. DeNigris 04 Dec '10

04 Dec '10

If I add a class variable with the same name as an existing class, I get a warning, which seems reasonable enough (although the warning looks like an error, so I didn't realize I could just hit "proceed"). However, if I subsequently remove the class variable, I get a dialog with two options: 1. move the name to Undeclared 2. cancel It seems like, if a name is already used globally, it should not be Undeclared, no? What happens if a name is a class name and in Undeclared - any conflict? Thanks. Sean Example: Object subclass: #AClassInTheSystem instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: '' poolDictionaries: '' category: 'SpdSystemSpecs'. Object subclass: #ClassWithGlobalSameNameAsAClass instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: 'AClassInTheSystem' poolDictionaries: '' category: 'SpdSystemSpecs'. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Class-variables-with-the-same-name-as-an-existing-cla… Sent from the Squeak - Beginners mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Monticello version control for text files?
by Ken G. Brown 04 Dec '10

04 Dec '10

Latest trunk, Squeak4.2-10548-alpha.image I would like to save my working Workspace contents with version control for later migrating to newer images. With 3.10.2 I used to be able to save the contents of all my Workspaces into text files in a subdirectory of the directory the image resides in, then use Monticello to pick them up and save them to the desired repository with version control. How would I do that with Monticello now? Can you use Monticello to save version controlled text files from a local directory, into a repository? Ken G. Brown

Many thanks, Dave and Sean. It all works as you say, and now I can access the Terse Guide in my image. This is great!

I tried to load the Terse Guide with Monticello. It won't load because apparently I need the class, CustomHelp, first. Where might that be?
