Using Moose => Questions

Hi guys,

I started to play with Moose, because I need to analyze some code to detect some bad smells.

As I used Moose ** a long time ago ** I am bit confused (and also lost) with the way of using and manipulating the objects in the Moose panel.

Just an example to explain what I need is that:

1- I loaded a package of Pharo (let's say Collections-Sequenceable)

I can see all the information offered by the panel, but I would like to do is the following:

a) How can I access to the information of the model, for example, to manipulate the methods of the analyzed classes? In previous versions of Moose, we could do something like MooseManager currentModel, but I see that the design has changed drastically, and now I can not see how I can do it. I need specifically access to the info stored in the model.

b) I see that you are using pragmas to define how we calculate properties in each source code entity. For example in: 

FAMIXMethod

numberOfInvokedMethods

<MSEProperty: #numberOfInvokedMethods type: #Number>

<MSEComment: 'Return a number corresponding to the number of invoked methods'>

<derived>

^ self privateState propertyAt: #numberOfInvokedMethods ifAbsentPut: [self invokedMethods size]

I added a new property with the same structure, but when I analyzed again a previous application, my new property is not appearing in the list of properties for a method in Moose.

Should I call a special message, or make a class invoke another method to update the properties used to analyze the application?

I will appreciate a lot your help.

Cheers,

Gabi

Welcome back! :)

The corresponding to "MooseManager currentModel" is now "MooseModel root allModels first".

However, you should not need to use this. Instead, once you have your hands on a model in the Moose Panel, you should simply switch to the last tab (with the [|] icon), and there self is your model. For example, if you need all methods, you should:

- type "self allMethods"

- select all text

- press Cmd+o (or right click and open)

This should pop the list of all method to the right.

Doru,

Thanks! Amazing how the concept of the implementation of Moose has changed :)

If you are working with Moose from a user-viewpoint, the way you suggest is good one to use Moose as a query-engine.

But if you want to use the data or even the properties to calculate something (or even to build a tool on top of Moose), I think the panel of [|] seems not to be useful.

How do the other tools do? How does, such as Roassal, take the data coming from Moose? 

Cheers,

Gabi
