Hello
I opened a recent Squeak5.3.a-18828 image. There is now a Metacello help together with a tutorial. Nice! I tested the tutorial. In the Getting Started Section after I have done ConfigurationOfMetacello project latestVersion load: #('Tutorial'). I am asked to do ProfStef goOn: MetacelloConfigurationTutorialPart1. Then I get a feedback that ProfStef is not known. Question: How would a fix look like? Regards Hannes SqueakHelp_Metacello_Getting-Started.png (81K) Download Attachment |
Hmm... there is Metacello help in Trunk. Maybe after you install Metacello? Best, Marcel

I checked again
Correct: Metacello help is NOT in the trunk. It comes to the image through Installer ensureRecentMetacello --Hannes On 9/2/19, Marcel Taeumel <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hmm... there is Metacello help in Trunk.

However a retest showed that the
Installer ensureRecentMetacello is in conflict with the installation of the Metacello tutorial ConfigurationOfMetacello project latestVersion load: #('Tutorial'). From a user point of view this is a problem. --Hannes P.S. I remember a recent discussion where to put Installer ensureRecentMetacello At the moment I no longer see it in the 'do-Menu' but also I do not find it in the 'tools' menu.

The Metacello help, while with good intentions, is severely outdated.
Please disregards the "Getting Started" entry. The way of using Metacello directly via ConfigurationOf… is de facto deprecated, and all the other stuff there probably won't work, either (Metacello moved away from code.google.com quite some time ago). If you look at the most recent version at github in this URL: https://github.com/Metacello/metacello/blob/master/repository/Metacello-Help.package/MetacelloHelp.class/class/gettingStarted.st you see that it was last changed in 2012, when the "original" metacello was still active. _That_ version is what we use to install the current version (which used with the "Metacello"-class api, which supports Baselines and GitHub). What do? Change the Help and issue a Pull Request against https://github.com/Metacello/metacello :) Best regards -Tobias > On 02.09.2019, at 18:36, H.

Hi Tobias
Thanks for your valuable feedback. > Please disregards the "Getting Started" entry. > > The way of using Metacello directly via ConfigurationOf… is de facto > deprecated, > and all the other stuff there probably won't work, either (Metacello moved > away from code.google.com quite some time ago). > > If you look at the most recent version at github in this URL: > https://github.com/Metacello/metacello/blob/master/repository/Metacello-Help.package/MetacelloHelp.class/class/gettingStarted.st > you see that it was last changed in 2012, when the "original" metacello was > still active. I understand that this file https://github.com/Metacello/metacello/blob/master/repository/Metacello-Help.package/MetacelloHelp.class/class/gettingStarted.st (= the help text , HelpTopic code of the screen shot earlier in the thread) is May 4, 2012. It is no longer valid. BUT I do not understand what you write below _That_ version is what we use to install the current version > (which used with the "Metacello"-class api, which supports Baselines and > GitHub). Is it something that you use an older version to install a newer version.... ? ACTIONPOINT: What do we need to do? > We need to change the Help text and issue a Pull Request against > https://github.com/Metacello/metacello :) And thanks God it could be as simple as forking Metacello repo in Github through the web interrface and then just change the text through the github web interface and issue a pull request to Dale H. (all through the web interface, it is plain text). But we need to know what to put there. Maybe just a pointer to a tutorial on the web? Which one? And: I am a little bit astonished that this 2012 issue was not caught earlier .... Best Hannes |
P.S. Should we just refer to this tutorial
http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/1471 Metacello - Why do you need a package management system A tutorial by Torsten Bergmann about Developer Mr. Bean writing a data base driver package ... On 9/2/19, H.
