AW: Transcript contents is empty?

Hi John,

I was digging a little bit in the history of #show: of TranscriptStream. From there #endEntry. As far as I'm right after each entry the stream will be reseted. So you can't get the contents of the stream. This behavior is there since 2001. Not helping but an explanation.

Cheers,
  Frank

Subject: Transcript contents is empty?

In Sophie I was going to grab the contents of the Transcript and
write that to our error server.
However I find that

Transcript show: 'foo'.
Transcript contents size = 0 ifTrue: [self halt].

Obviously I would have *thought* that asking for Transcript contents
would have returned what is on the Transcript.
But it doesn't.

So I'm wondering if this is a bug or feature?


PS Squeak 3.10alpha #7092 but same behaviour in 3.8.1

Feature. You need to add a dependent to Transcript and log stuff on  
"updated: #appendEntry" sends (IIRC).

Exactly, because Squeak Transcript is the stream of not yet appened text...

It is not the real text collector, just an intermediate...
Not a valuable object per se...

I guess john idea of Transcript is exactly the VW Transcript (a
TextCollector).

Transcript anymore. It is just a client of the Transcript.

Transcript must now be viewed as a TranscriptingService you'll have to
subscribe to... For that reason I would rather call it a Subscript!

trans=over, scribere=writing, so the name is not too far removed from its
function. It is much closer than System Browser - a tool used to edit system
code :-).

How about Transcripter?
