Problem with Pharo 9 - repositories missing

Hi everyone.

I have a simple talk, or so I thought. I am trying to port a Mac Pharo/Seaside project to either a Windows 2012 server or to a Windows 10 laptop. I have set up my git credentials and that all works fine. However, when I install either 8.0 or 9.0 on my Windows 10 laptop it shows he following

Repositories -- status

Pharo Local repository missing

Pharo-spec2 Local repository missing

Pharo-newtools Local repository missing

Iceberg Local repository missing

Libgit-pharo-bindings Local repository missing

tonel Local repository missing

What on earth is going on here as installing Pharo on my Mac was seamless. I have to get the project onto a Windows machine as these are the only servers that I have. I really can’t be this difficult, can it?

How do I get out of this mess, given that that is a clean install?

Re: Problem with Pharo 9 - repositories missing

What the system is telling you is that:

while the code of the projects is in your image/changes, the system does not know (it cannot invent because

you could running it on the moon or mars for example) where are the git repositories where it could find the

working copies and the versionned elements of such packages.

I think that the status is pretty clear.

So if you want to load code via git from your new machine there is no magic.

Git is a distributed versioning system so you have to clone your repo locally and tell it to Pharo.

Now iceberg is quite cool because if you do repair it will

- clone

- configure your working so that it correspond to the code version in your image

- probably fetching some version.

In fact there is no difference between your mac talking to github and another repository.

You have local and remotes + pharo (another kind of local).

So Pharo alone can work but it cannot guess where you decided to store your local git repositories.

I hope that it helps.

You have to set up your repositories through a fork. You can read:

https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/wiki/Contribute-a-fix-to-Pharo#step-1-setting-up-your-repository

That applies for all repositories: iceberg, spec2, etc.

David,

Since you have so much trouble building on Windows, I would suggest building a deployment image on macOS and then copy that over to Windows (*.image *.changes *.sources), install a VM on Windows, and run headless with a startup.st script.

Re: Problem with Pharo 9 - repositories missing

Sven and everyone else, these are good, pragmatic suggestions. But, the lack of understanding is surely frustrating for David (and for me watching from the sidelines).

Can anyone explain why the Windows experience is so radically different from everything else? (Ok, I admit that Windows is a horrible p.o.s. But, it's not some non-human language that cannot be understood. (Ok. Maybe it is.))

Re: Problem with Pharo 9 - repositories missing

Hi, I use Pharo 8 & 9, 32 & 64 on Windows 10 without any problems, except when packages use complex directory structure (path length challenge) that was already mentioned in Seaside thread and elsewhere.

Repositories Pharo, Pharo-spec2 etc. are not needed for usual tasks, except if you would like to propose PRs for those - this is the only circumstance that I can think of. As Stephane said, "the code of the projects is in your image/changes", so nothing is missing for the business as usual. I don't know if these get copied from github automatically on MacOS, though, but what would be the purpose of that?

Best wishes,

Tomaz

That worked perfectly. I copied the three files across, created a new VM, copied my database and (apart from a single issue) everything worked fine.

Thank you so much for your help. It never occurred to me that this would be possible.

There is one big difference between Windows and the Mac but I will post that as a separate item.

Again, many thanks.

BTW, avid user of STON - crucial addition to my database.
