Comment #4 on issue 3463 by
[hidden email]: [Failing Test]
HelpBrowserTest.testOpen
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3463OK, to give more context:
- the test HelpBrowserTest.testOpen just checks if the help browser
can be opened without any problem (by checking if an exception occurs)
- unfortunately there is an exception thrown
Why:
- one of the included help books is Laurents "SmalltalkSyntaxTutorial"
- this class is instantiated and during intialization it sends
#prepareDebuggerExample
- this method compiles some code which ends up in the method
CompiledMethod>>putSource:fromParseNode:inFile:withPreamble:
- this method signals the exception:
InMidstOfFileinNotification signal ifFalse: [file flush].
- this can be reproduced with the following code:
[Object compile: 'foo ^3+4' classified: 'test'] on: Exception do: [:ex
| ex inspect]
This also gives the InMidstOfFileinNotification
Dont know why this InMidstOfFileinNotification
Possible Solutions:
- handle the notification in #prepareDebuggerExample (while compiling the
code)
- maybe we should also change #testOpen to just check for errors instead of
exception while opening:
self shouldnt: block raise: Error
(this would avoid notifications which are also exceptions)
