On Missing Class: Why not describe error?

Administrator

Current implementation:
MethodDeclaration>>#handleMissingBehavior
"self error: ('Cannot install method in unexistent behavior {1}' format: {(behaviorName asString)})"

(MissingClassError
className: behaviorName asString)
signal

Any reason not to make it:
MethodDeclaration>>#handleMissingBehavior

(MissingClassError
className: behaviorName asString)
signal: 'Cannot install method in unexistent behavior', behaviorName asString
?

It seems so obvious that I'm sure I must be missing something important!

Cheers,

Same for methods with syntax errors. A stub method could be installed instead… either an actual method with the incorrect source code as a comment, or a dedicated method-like object.

Yes
It was on my to do to create a little addd-ons that create stupid stub

I just faced that trying to load variableByteSubclasses of NBExternalStruct… somehow I managed to not immediately give up with the whole thing… but seriously this is a real efficient way to instantly reach my frustration limit.

Re: On Missing Class: Why not describe error?

So why don't you propose a solution?
