ToolSet and Environments (was Re: The Trunk: Tools-tonyg.1032.mcz)

Hi all,
I've been experimenting with Environments a little. They look promising, but if I understand correctly we don't have much in the way of tool support for them yet? Would a patch to ToolSet be welcome to add, say, `browseEnvironment:` and a convenience `Environment >> browse` to the various ToolSets? It took a little digging before I found (Browser new selectEnvironment: someEnvironment) buildAndOpenFullBrowser Further than that, there seems not to be many users of Environment's class-side Instances variable yet. Is it intended to be a kind of registry of available in-image Environments? Would some thinking about how to surface those in the tooling be welcome?

Hi Tony,
> Would a patch to ToolSet be welcome to add, say, `browseEnvironment:` and a convenience `Environment >> browse` to the various ToolSets?
To me, this looks like a useful enhancement!
> Would some thinking about how to surface those in the tooling be welcome? Definitively! Maybe we could add an item to the browser's window menu that
pops up an environment selector (basically UIManager chooseFrom... and an accessor for Environment Instances) to change the currently visible environment in a browser? How would this look like in a PackagePaneBrowser?
An important use case for Environments that I could think of would be to clone a class (hierarchy) to edit a copy of it and replacing the original class in the main environment. For example, when refactoring the Compiler ...
I think we would need much more tooling for this and probably also some tests. I don't know how well environments are being supported right now - but for example, they are not even nestable at the moment, which would be helpful for the use case I have given.
This is an interesting construction site! :-)
Best,
Christoph

Hi Tony.
> Is it intended to be a kind of registry of available in-image Environments? Yes, looks similar to PackageOrganizer. > Would some thinking about how to surface those in the tooling be welcome? Yes, indeed. :-) I just added ToolSet cass >> #browseEnvironment: and Environment >> #browse to Trunk. And I noticed that something seems to be missing from empty environments since I cannot compile a new class into it through the Browser. Not even "Smalltalk" as a global can be resovled -- even though it is in "declarations". Maybe Environment >> #initializeWithName: is not correct? Have fun! :-) Best, Marcel
