Iceberg workflow

Ben Coman
I'm still struggling with Iceberg workflow for a personal repo.

World menu > Iceberg
Clicked <Clone Repository>
Remote URL <-- [hidden email]:bencoman/libclang-pharo-bindings.git
Clicked <Create Repository>

So now I have a new row...
   Name = libclang-pharo-bindings
   Current Branch = master
   Loaded version = No package loaded
   Status = Not loaded

but nothing loaded into Image, which seems expected from Iceberg
Operations Overview...
* http://forum.world.st/Iceberg-operations-overview-td5036218.html
(even though "Clone" is not shown there, I guess its the same as "Checkout")
but I can't work out how to load it.

In the filesystem I see the repo has been checked out, under...
/home/ben/Pharo/images/latest-64-02/pharo-local/iceberg/bencoman/libclang-pharo-bindings

Now from Iceberg Operations Overview, I guess I need to either load,
merge, reload or pull.  These all are apparently exposed in the UI.
Right-clicking on the repo, the only one I see is "Pull incoming
commits" and...  Pharo quietly exits, with no debug log.

Restarting to gather more info, after selecting the repo, the
[Packages] tab is empty (maybe that is normal). Then I try
Right-click>Refresh Repository with no effect.

Right-click > Synchronize Repository takes me to three tabs with empty
list views.
The [Update] tab has a <Pull> button which also causes Pharo to exit.

Versions...
Ubuntu 16.04-64bit
Pharo-7.0+alpha.build.300.sha.f81891fbde76d6a92e2827229293cb377d3b2c1c (64 Bit)

Re: Iceberg workflow

Hi Ben,

I think you forgot to give Iceberg the "src" subdirectory where all the code packages reside.
When you forget to give the "Code subdirectory" in the dialog the repo points to the
bencoman/libclang-pharo-bindings root which has no packages. Thats why the packages
pane is empty.

So I think you should:

 1. World Menu -> Iceberg
 2. In the dialog
      2a) Set Remote URL:   https://github.com/bencoman/libclang-pharo-bindings.git
      2b) Local directory:  shows where the repo is locally clone to (keep it or change as you like)
      2c) Code subdirectory: enter "src" here !!!
 3. Then click on/select the repository "libclang-pharo-bindings" in the upper pane of Iceberg
 4. Click on the "Packages" pane in the lower part - you now will see all packages in the repo
 5. You can either select each package and right click to "Load package" the package one by one
    OR you select the "BaselineOfLibClang" and right click to "Metacello" -> "Install baseline (default)" which
    would load the "default" group of what is defined in the baseline. This usually loads all dependencies
    and the necessary packages in the right order.
 
    If there are other groups defined you can use "Install baseline ..."

So you missed the step 2c.

Hope this helps!

Thanks
T.

Re: Iceberg workflow

Torsten Bergmann
You do not have to use "src" or "repository" - you can store your packages directly in the root if you
like. You are free to choose. But over time it can "bloat" the topmost level of your project with the
Smalltalk packages folders and it might get confusing the more packages you have or the more other
stuff you add to your project.

Often it depends on personal style or the complexity of the overall contents of the project.

Having the code directly in the root is possible but not a good style or to be recommended - because
often projects include more than just the source code and over time include more and more things like docu
or other.

Thats why usually projects are STRUCTURED with subdirectories and these subfolders helping you or a user of your
project to easily find out about what to expect as contents. Some possible subdirectories you might find in one or the
other projects are:

root (Project root dir)
  !- src - for source code and source packages
  !- bin - for built binaries or executables
  !- doc - for documentation, sometimes also "docs"
  !- www - for web related stuff that is served via HTTP/webserver
  !   !-- css - for stylesheets
  !   !-- js  - for javascript scripts
  !
  !- templates - for templates
  !- include - includes (for instance in C/C++ projects)
  !- lib - for libraries
  !- test - for tests or test drivers
  !- third_party - for third party stuff (that is required to run the project)
  !- ci - for CI related scripts or other
  !- docker - for docker
  !- media - for video, pictures or other related project media
  !- benchmark - for speed tests and benchmarks
  !- config - for configurations
  !- etc - for anything else  
  !- ...

This is not a complete list and different people prefer a different project layout. There might be other subfolders.
Often the name varies depending on language or framework. Also some build technologies enforce a specific layout.

For example if you work with web applications you often have a layout as described in [1], with Java software
like maven you usually have no "bin" but a "target" folder, see [2]. There never was an agreement of a layout that
fits all the needs - so we can only speak about a "typical folder structure".

Same for files. As files in the root folder I "typically" would expect only a few files:
 - a README.txt or README.md
 - a license file
 - config files for build systems (like pom.xml for Maven, package.json in NodeJs/npm, Gruntfile.js for Grunt, bower.json for bower, ...)
 - a .travis.yml for travis builds
 - ...

A "src" or "source" subdir is very often used to host the code. Thats why the Iceberg dialog just allows
to tell in which subfolder of the project Iceberg will find the code if you structure your project with such
a layout. If you leave it blank all packages are expected in the root folder.

So you can either put the packages directly into the root like in

 https://github.com/astares/iceberg

or have a "src" subdirectory or other as in

 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo

or many of the other Pharo or non-Pharo projects on GitHub.

Hope this explains it.

BTW in latest Iceberg this is automatically selected if it is one of the
standard names (e.g. src, repository)

Thx. That worked in 32 bit.
However in 64 bit when I do step 2 the Image exits (i.e. no debug log).

I did BaselineOfLibClang > Metacello > Install baseline (default)
and got error "#addTo: was sent to nil"

So I had heard about enabling Metacello integration**, and after enabling that,
BaselineOfLibClang > Metacello > Install baseline (default)
proceeded fine.  System Browser now shows the LIbClang package.
However Iceberg did not refresh.  All packages still show "Not Loaded".
and clicking on the [Branches] tab gives error...
    "Instance of IcePackageModel did not understand #isBranchModel."

However a newly opened Iceberg fixes both these, showing "Up to date"
in [packages] tab,
and several branches in [Branches] tab.

Now "LibClang-FFI-Types" already shows dirty with "Uncommited changes"
maybe due to class initialisation updating some methods.
How do I then view the changes?  I was hoping to see a "View changes" item
in the "LibClang-FF-Types" context menu.

I see the context menu for the repo has "Synchronize repository...."
which brings up a [Local changes] tab, but it is empty.

In Monticello if I select the dirty package and the disk repo then
click <Changes>
I get error... "Instance of IceMetacelloRepositoryAdapter did not
understand #closestAncestorVersionFor:ifNone:"

Can anyone reproduce this?

cheers -ben

** Maybe if Metacello integration is disabled the menu option in
Iceberg should greyed out.

That is cool to automate that, but these names seem a bit generic to
take ownership across all domains in random projects.
How does the system handle a "src" folder that is not an iceberg folder.
What about having an "iceberg.conf" or ".iceberg.conf" file in the
root folder?
or maybe be more generic cross-platform friendly and use "tonel.conf".
This file might also be a place to specify multiple folders containing
different packages.

A few other random thoughts...

Maybe that "Clone repository by URL"  dialog could be split in two.
The "code subdirectory" field does not impact the cloning operation
and is an extra cognitive load when someone new to Iceberg is not sure
how it works, which breeds uncertainty about using the tool.
After the clone completes, Iceberg could observe the directories in
the working copy and present a list of them for user selection (if it
wasn't already specified in iceberg.conf)

Alternatively, rather than (or in addition to) the [Packages] tab,
maybe have a [Working Copy] tab that shows a tree structure from the
root directory.
The user would then browse into the "src" file to see the packages.
This could lead Iceberg in the direction of being a more generic tool
to manage other project resources,
and also facilitate having multiple packages within the one repo,
although synchronising those
packages to their own single package repo might get complicated.
Directories specified in iceberg.conf could be listed at the top of
the [Working Copy] tab for easy access.

I haven't tried 64 bit for a couple of months, however I had similar
behaviour, see http://forum.world.st/Iceberg-causes-64-bit-VM-core-dump-on-Ubuntu-tt4967262.html

In reply to this post by Ben Coman
Hi Ben,

we have been discussing a lot this issues in discord recently (expectations from git users, monticello users and what iceberg needs to do/show in which case).

basically, we have a mess on terminology and some workflows needs to be enhanced.
Now, about your observations:

a) more than split “clone”, what I will do is to unify all that functionality into a single “add repository”. Now, it has to be clear for user that adding a repository (by cloning, creating or adding a local existing one) does not means injecting any sources into the image. You will need to do that explicitly (by telling “checkout” or better “checkout with baseline”). Is important that people understands that checking out in pharo is a lot more complex than simply checking out some files in filesystem. And is not the job of iceberg.

b) you are not seeing any package because you are not pointing to the source subdirectory. That needs to be explicit when declaring a repository (there are technics to detect the good one, but so far they are a bit naive ;) )

cheers,
Esteban

because you want to structure your projects as you want, and not as some tool (ours or other) forces to do it.

weird, I’m using exclusively 64bits since some time and I do not experiment this problems :S

Ah yes… this is an ongoing bug since some time :(

this is a glamour transition bug (ongoing too).
I plan to fix that by just removing that tab (I will move branches out of repositories window).

yeah, this is because when installing packages were marked as “dirty” but in fact there is nothing changed (this is a monticello historical problem, not icebeg related…)

you should not be able to use monticello with iceberg repositories.
the error here is not showing a correct error message, not not showing the changes :)

there will be one :)

no, because tonel is the fileformat, it does not says anything about the repository structure (which is iceberg related, not fileformat)

I will remove packages and branches and any extra information from repositories window. I will find a better place for them :)

better than that, you need to forget there is an external working copy (but the tool needs to allow you to handle your repository by ignoring that).

Thanks for the explanation for where this comes from. This helps me
understand where my confusion comes from: the assumption that there
would be one root for source. That is not always the case. There can be
multiple sub projects (casually used, not in the git subproject terms),
each with their own source root. Mapping from smalltalk code to file
systems has all kinds of annoying/interesting aspects. And I understand
the difficulty/impossibility/undesirability of supporting everything
that git makes possible.

I seem to have missed some design discussions/decisions and really like
the mails here about them. And I like the booklets very much too.

Stephan

I may have explained poorly. It merely guesses a default value in the repo
creation form. One is free to change manually as always if needed.

Is anyone using a `docker` subfolder in a ST repo? I'm curious what one
would store there and whether/how that would tie into GH/BB/GL CI
infrastructures…
