Seaside 3.0 Metacello Configuration broken for Squeak?

Hi!

I can't load Seaside 3.0 via Metacello into the latest trunk image. It stops with a dependency exception:

This package depends on the following classes: ExecutableBlock

In the transcript I get as one of the last entries something that seems to be wrong for Squeak:

Evaluated -> Metacello-MC >> gemstone10beta24PreLoadDoIt

I guess most Seasiders don't give a nack about this and I would offer to help fix this, but I haven't dealt with
writing Metacello configurations yet.

Thanks,
 Alex

Alexander,

No kidding! Somehow you appear to have loaded the Metacello-Platform.gemstone package instead of Metacello-Platform.squeak, thereby leading Metacello to believe that you are running in GemStone.

I'll see what I can figure out...

Alex,

I took a fresh trunk download (Squeak4.3alpha-11481) and executed the following:

  Installer squeaksource
    project: 'MetacelloRepository';
    install: 'ConfigurationOfSeaside30'.
  (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfSeaside30) perform: #load.

and Seaside loaded just fine ... what commands did you use to load Seaside?

Dale,

the problem was, that I'm using a build script that downloads the very same image you were using but also does an update _and_ does modify the system info. It does still say "Something_Squeak", but is enough to make Metacello believe it is on a gemstone system. Somehow I would have expected Metacello to just fail if it can't make a match to a known environment, but I guess that's not how it is working.

Anyway thanks for looking into this and sorry for the confusion.

Alex

Ah ... changing the system version string is the trick ... well that's a bug in Metacello as it should fail when it doesn't get a recognizable error string ... submitted Issue 146[1].

Thanks for the additional information,

Dale
