I'm running latest Squeak on OS X. I in the beginning of Section 2 of the laser game walk through and I forgot to add the class method to GridDirection. I run the test cases including my new GridDirectionTestCase and it of course fails as it doesn't know what the symbol is. I go back and add it (browse it again after adding it just to make sure I added it), and I get the same error in the Test Runner.

There have been several occasions where I add "something" (e.g. class, method, instance variable, etc.), go back to do some rafactoring, and expect the latest save to cascade through the VM so that my next test case runs the latest code -- often it doesn't. I've seen this before in other environments where the VM is cashing "stuff" and latest code isn't always getting run.

TIA,
D

I have no idea what you are talking about. I don't know of any
VM caching scheme. Could you describe what problem you
encountered, and what you were doing?
