Emergency evaluator and GTGenericStackDebugger

Hello,

I’ve been using Pharo for a while as my playground for trying things out, it’s a very soothing place to code and figure out algorithms (except that when I return to my “real world”, the friction with modern tools is amplified). I’m still a newb when it comes to knowing how things work deeper down.

I’m a little stuck. I did something (can’t remember) and not realizing that I had a problem, saved my image too.
Now when I try open a Workspace, I get a *** System error handling failed *** with a huge amount of text.

I’ve uploaded a screen grab here: http://imgur.com/4ZwsF6e

Is this worth debugging?

My plan is to install the origin tools, and remove GToolkit. And then reinstall GToolkit.
Would this help?

And, how? I realize I don’t know what tools are in the default Pharo3 image!
Can someone tell me what they are called?

Thanks! Can’t wait to get back to the happy place!

Thank you,

For some reason there were a few. Reverted most. However all my Petit* ones trigger the same error when reloading them. I deleted them. But the error persists, as soon as I try open a Workspace I get the Emergency Evaluator screen.

Hi,

If I understand correctly, you are on Pharo 3. What I suggest is to open the Monticello Browser and look at the changed packages. Then you can load the previous versions of those, and you should get back to normal.

Cheers,

Hi,

what image do you use?
If it is pharo4, you can open the settings (World menu>System>Settings) and disable GT playground and inspector (Glamorous Toolkit settings)

I found the problem. I forgot a simple fact - with Smalltalk I have access to all the code! Anyways, I discovered that I had somehow zapped Moose/HashTable (no idea how) and so in the layout code "HashTable new” was raising the exception, sending “new” to UndefinedObject. Makes sense to me now.

Thanks for all the help, it resulted in me poking around more when I suddenly realized I could.
