Adjusting the size of a window using Spec

Continuing with my testing to learn Spec, I'm trying to build a really basic
calculator.
So far I managed to build the basic UI. However, I'm having some trouble at
getting it displayed at the correct size. I don't know how to change the
window that is opened when #ClassName new openWithSpec
It seems that all the examples are opened with the same size.
The image on the left is the "default" one, the one on the right is what I
would like to get.
I've tried by changing the width: of the column but that doesn't change the
size of the window.
I'm kind of stuck!

thanks
cheers

Thank you so much!

That did it :)

It's almost done now.

You just need to override the method #initialExtent

It should return a point structured like this: width@height

Sure! That was exactly the idea: share this as a kind of tutorial for others. I put comments almost everywhere just for those who want to take a look at the code. Once it's finished I will uploaded.

around spec using your calculator.

Why? Because we need help to write documentation and others :)

Are you interested?

Cool! I didn't know that one. I've been writing ugly #open methods which
call #extent:...

Shame on you dude :P

It points out the huge lack of Spec documentation, so in fact, shame on me :P

Ben
  

I'm not sure how much Pharo 2.0 focused on the move to Spec for UI (I've ended up jumping from 1.4 straight to 3.0alpha) but regarding the professional presentation/reception of Pharo I feel some solid Spec documentation will be critical to coincide with the 3.0 release (or very shortly thereafter).  Even though there has been a great amount of other work under-the-hood, Spec is the front-line system that end-user-developers will be working with.  I'm sure that already was your aim. This is just a supporting note for that action.

Could you sketch a draft of a step by step tutorial?

Like that I can do a pass after and turn it into a gutenberg chapter?

You can use plain txt on git or I can also add you to the PharoForTheEntreprise git repo.
