Sources location inconsistency between WIndows and OSX

Hi,

I just realised that on OSX it is enough to put .sources in the same folder with Pharo.app which is extremely cool because there is no need to carry them around with images.

However, in case of Window it is different. I tried to put .source in the same folder with Pharo.exe but got a notification that sources in the *image* folder were not found.

It would be great to unify this behaviour among platforms :)

I prefer OSX .sources location strategy.

Cheers,

Alex

Re: Sources location inconsistency between WIndows and OSX

Are you sure you have the correct version of .sources?.

It has allways been possible to have the .sources at the .exe (I have allways done it that way), (are you sure that the right vm is started, clicking on an image might launch a different vm if you have multiple).

What is the output of `OSPlatform current potentialLocationsOfSourcesFile` ?

To debug:

Change PharoFilesOpener>>#ignoreIfFail: no not send ifError: []. and the do `SourceFiles ensureOpen`

Best regards,

Henrik

Hi Henrik,

Here is what `OSPlatform current potentialLocationsOfSourcesFile` gives me:

Inline images 2

Are you sure you have the correct version of .sources?

Yes, I use v60 sources with 60503 Pharo and stable VM. If I put sources in the image folder it works... Very strange.

Cheers,
Alex

Re: Sources location inconsistency between WIndows and OSX

Aha! I found the problem... very strange.

So, there is a difference:

If I run Pharo.exe from Coherence mode in Parallels then VM directory is given relative to \Mac and sources can not be found:

If I run Pharo.exe from "Virtual machine" mode in Parallels then VM directory is correct and source work from VM folder:

I think it is an interesting discovery :)

Alex

IIUC this won't work with Pharo 7, since a new sources file will be delivered with each new build.
