There is a preference -- #universalTiles --
that uses SyntaxMorph instead of PhraseTileMorph. What
people are actually using, I do not know. Here is a snippet
suggesting intentions (assuming you are the type to take comments
at face value):
Hmmm... I am using a Etoys-Dev-4.1 image for reference, and #testAll does run successfully in that image. Sorry for asking a really dumb question, but I actually don't know if SyntaxMorph plays an important role in Etoys? Or is it just a leftover artifact of some earlier experiment? >From the point of view of an Etoys user, if SyntaxMorph is something that should work then we should import the missing methods and update them as needed. But if it is just a leftover curiousity that does not matter to the kids who actually use Etoys, then we can ignore it or delete it or deprecate it. Unfortunately I don't know Etoys very well, so I have to ask. Dave On Wed, Nov 29, 2017 at 10:02:01PM -0500, Bob Arning wrote:FWIW, #testAll did not work as far back as Squeak 3.2 of 2002 vintage. The first error I encountered was in SyntaxMorph>>printCascadeNodeOn:indent: and I suspect that when SyntaxMorph was repurposed, cascades were not important. On 11/29/17 9:31 PM, David T. Lewis wrote:SyntaxMorph is in the Etoys package, but is missing the asMorphicSyntaxIn: methods that are needed in the ParseNode hierarchy. I tried importing the missing methods from an Etoys development image, which is sufficient to make SyntaxMorph class>>test work. But SyntaxMorph class>>testAll runs into problems, so I am expecting that the various compiler and Spur enhancements in recent years mean that some work would need to be done in this area. I am inclined to commit the current (old) version the missing methods to the Etoys package, but I do not want to do that if they were intentionally removed or if someone has a plan to provide a fully working update.
