Grease - get image directory
Locked
 
|
Hi,
GRPlatform has two methods: filesIn:aPathString and directoriesIn:aPathString. They return the absolute paths of the contained files. However I do not see any (portable) way to know the image directory. I think it is sometimes needed, for example: GRPlatform current directoriesIn: 'bootstrap' (where bootstrap is a directory next to my Pharo image). Gives me all the absolute path of the directories lying in <image directory>/bootstrap How can I get the relative path of these directories compared to the 'bootstrap' directory? Cheers, Francois _______________________________________________ seaside mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside |

I had to do something similar in VisualWorks, I doubt there will be a portable version, but you can certainly go via GRPlatform and implement removal of leading filename components to end up with a relative path for your resources, say,
String streamContents: [:ws | | components | components := filename components. (components last: components size - root) do: [:comp | ws nextPutAll: comp] separatedBy: [ws nextPut: $/]] -Boris -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Francois Stephany Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2012 12:41 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: [Seaside] Grease - get image directory Hi, GRPlatform has two methods: filesIn:aPathString and directoriesIn:aPathString.

That would be great.

It definitely would be convenient if Grease did have something like a imageHome method that returned a path string to the imageHome directory ...

Does that make sense in all the dialects ? (I dont know nothing about

It's a bit more complicated for GemStone, as GemStone/S doesn't have an image, but the there is an equivalent interpretation.
I would think that perhaps a better notion is to define something like smalltalkRoot or smalltalkHome that has platform-specific defaults, but can be overridden at the image level... Something like this is required for handling disk-based assets in a generic manner ...

It's actually for this: > http://code.google.com/p/seaside/issues/detail?id=267 I don't want to sound too negative. The file support intentionally has a very narrow focus: only what file library needs. The reason for this is that we don't want Grease to be a portable file framework. SPort is the place to look for if you need something like this, or maybe filesystem.
