The Inbox: Collections-ct.885.mcz

commits-2
Christoph Thiede uploaded a new version of Collections to project The Inbox:
http://source.squeak.org/inbox/Collections-ct.885.mcz

==================== Summary ====================

Name: Collections-ct.885
Author: ct
Time: 9 April 2020, 2:35:32.800949 pm
UUID: ddccd842-af02-a448-91f7-7556c8c7bf43
Ancestors: Collections-dtl.884

Proposal for discussion: Add String >> #matches: for polymorphy with RxMatcher.

This allows you to pass patterns strings whereever a RxMatcher is expected. Furthermore, IMHO the name #matches: gives you a better intuition for a test selector than #match: does.

| password patterns |
patterns := { '.{8,}' asRegex. '*password*'. '.*\d.*' asRegex }.
password := Project uiManager requestPassword: 'Enter a fake password'.
self assert: (patterns allSatisfy: [:pattern | pattern matches: password]) description: 'Your password is not safe enough'.

=============== Diff against Collections-dtl.884 ===============

Item was added:
+ ----- Method: String>>matches: (in category 'comparing') -----
+ matches: text
+ "For polymorphy with RxMatcher."
+
+ ^ self match: text!

See also SUnit-ct.127 (#assert:matches:) or Tests-ct.429 (#assertText:) in the Inbox which could benefit from this extension.


I would also welcome to completely rename #match: into #matches: for the reasons described below, how would you think about this?

Or should String >> #matches: rather be an extension method from the Regex-Core package?


Best,
Christoph

The patterns matched by match: are not regular expressions. Could this
intermixing of vocabulary lead to confusion or even bugs (when someone
is missing a test for their matching use case and forgot the asRegex)?

Re: The Inbox: Collections-ct.885.mcz

Christoph Thiede

Good question which I cannot answer :-)


The idea is that you could use whitespace patterns ('Squeak *alpha') interchangeably with more powerful regular expressions ('Squeak \d+\.\d+alpha' asRegex) without needing to define separate messages wherever patterns are used. For example, we would need implement both #assert:matches: *and* #assert:matchesRegex: (TestCase), both #classesIn: *and* #classesInRegex: (provided that we wanted this feature) etc., each pair with exactly the same implementations that only deviate in terms of sending #match: vs. #matches:.
(For a practical example, you could take a look at all these methods from SqueakByExample that contain 'match' in their name and which all use #matches:. This project also includes a String >> #matches: extension so it is much easier to feed these morph query methods either with regexs or with simple patterns where regexs are unnecessary complicated.)

I agree that it might be confusing if you forget the #asRegex. However, I think this is a common problem in a language with duck typing and very-late binding. On the contrary, one could also argue that it might be confusing that in some situations you need to send #match:, but in other situations #matches: instead, as they basically do the same.

---

Hm, this discussion reminds me a bit of the recent debate about Symbol >> #numArgs/#value:value:. There we found that instead of handling symbols like blocks, we could also write an explicit converter (#asBlock). How would you think about a similar converter in this case? :-)
Something like: 'Squeak *alpha' patternAsRegex
'ab*' asRegex matches: 'a'. "true"
'ab*' asRegex matches: 'abb'. "true"
'ab*' patternAsRegex matches: 'a'. "false"
'ab*' patternAsRegex matches: 'abc'. "true"

Pro: Actually a matcher - you don't have a string that partially behaves like a matcher and follows the same protocol, but an actual matcher. So you could also say 'ab*' patternAsRegex matchesIn:collect: ...
Contra: Actually a matcher - this can be a significant drawback in terms of performance. For a simple '*xyz*' match, the regex equivalent was more than 100x slower than the whitespace version.
A third variant would be an extra WhitespaceMatcher. But do we really need such a class?

Best,
Christoph

Hmm... I always get confused whether the receiver of #match: is the pattern or the thing that should match the pattern. I suppose that the #asRegex variant makes it explicit and is thus quite readable in this regard.

Marcel

Isn't this more of a problem when you attempt to *write* the code?
(Assuming acceptable variable names.) Then asRegex will not help you
because you have not written it yet. :-)

Re: The Inbox: Collections-ct.885.mcz

Christoph Thiede

Nice argument, Jakob! Or asked the other way around:

How would you explain to a new Squeaker that "match:" means a whitespace matching test and "matches:" means a regex matching test? This just feels random to me. :-)

#match: is not a nice name at all, IMHO, because it does not make clear that this is a test selector.

Best,
Christoph
