Package loader question

Ciao,

        i have some packages with some class definition.

        Now the package1 define Class1 and Class2 with some reference to classA and classB defined into pachageA.

        packageA other hand, have some reference to class1 and class2.

        Now my question is:

                i can load the package1 and packageA without other considerations,

                leaving the system to resolve references as classes are loaded?


        Thanks for any considerations,

                Dario

Hi Dario,

No, I don’t think so. You will receive a warning and can then proceed. That will compile the methods but the class references will have been compiled as nil references. So you will need to recompile those methods afterwards.

If these classes need each other, then they probably belong into the same package.

Just to be clear, what do you mean by “package”? If you are referring to something like “MY-Core” and “MY-View” but both are loaded when loading the Monticello package “MY” then it will work. If you load “MY-Core” and “My-View” as separate Monticello packages the above will happen.

Cheers,
Max

Thanks Max,

But if i used the Metacello baseline or configuration definition i can load with #atomic load types?

With this load types i solve my problematic?

Now when i  load a baseline definition with :

        | pathToPackageDirectory |
        "edit to match the path to your chosen package directory"
        pathToPackageDirectory := '/DTRDevelopment'.
        Metacello new
          baseline: 'DtrBase';
  repository: 'filetree://', pathToPackageDirectory;
          load.

        how i can define the load types?

        Thanks,

                Dario
