Moldable Tools are Cooooool!

Wow, things are getting way more fun around here :)

Pharo Debugger Customization for Phexample

In just a few minutes, Pharo's moldable debugger let's us turn a useless error message into a much better format - diffed even! In a few minutes, we've made our IDE experience much better!

Happy customizing :)

Cheers,
Sean

Re: Moldable Tools are Cooooool!

Very nice :)

Though an even cooler think would be to have

the diff view appear dynamically in the debugger

when you get an assertion failed due to PhexMatcher :)

Cheers,

Andrei

Is that possible? I mean "does the framework allow for that capability", not "could it be hacked in".

That's almost possible but using the Glamour interface of the debugger.

The Spec interface is not really optimized to be customizable. Though it should be doable with a bit more work.

You would do that by creating a custom debugger extension and customizing the interface with the widgets that you want/need.

Right now the framework does not automatically switch between extensions when it detects that a more specific extension

is available, though incorporating these feature into the framework is not that difficult.

The SUnit debugger gives an example of how to customize the glamour interface (http://scg.unibe.ch/research/moldabledebugger)

Andrei

I am so happy to see this moldability virus spreading like that :).

Nice work. As Andrei pointed out, you might want to take a look at the GTDebugger. Here is a paper describing it:
