WAComponent

Lucas, I fired up Pier last night after having not touched it in a while,
went to do a small project and none of my components worked anymore,
couldn't configure their settings.  Turned out seaside's WAComponent now
includes an accessor on the class side called description, which returns the
class name, and overrides what Magritte expects to be a description builder.
Have you noticed this or are you working mostly in 3.9 with pragma's and not
using the older builders?  I also had quite a few issues just loading the
latest versions from your repository, kept getting warnings from Monticello
about it not being able to find a previous version, yet the version was
right there.  Comments?

I saw on this list the mention of Pier and have started looking into it.
Seems like a nice system.  But I didn't see anything about this on the
seaside page.  The only thing I see on the seaside page is Mewa, which
someone in this list said isn't being worked on anymore.

Are there plans to add some of these things to the seaside page, or some
place that new people will tend to go to look for solutions?  I was
about to go impliment a bunch of things that Pier does already. :)

Thanks,
Jason

Load the latest version of Magritte, this bug is fixed there.

No I am not using the pragmas for descriptions yet, Magritte only has
experimental support for pragmas. The default is still the naming
convention.

I experienced the same and others have reported this issue as well,
see the pier mailing-list. I didn't find out why this happened. Maybe
incompletely committed versions? Broken committ image? I didn't find
out the problem. The latest have been reported to work though.

Cheers,
Lukas

Ah, I hadn't realized I was now required to inherit from MAComponent rather
than just using any WAComponent subclass, when did this change?

Well, this was a method addition in Seaside causing this bug:
WAComponent class>>description returns a string, whereas Magritte
expects a description as defined in Object. The solution is to use
MAComponent that implements #description the same way as it is done in
Object.

Thinking about this problem I now see some other potential bugs, I
will need to have a look at this again. A pity we don't have
Classboxes ;-)

I'm sure you noticed #asComponent in WAComponent and WADecoration.

Yes, this is also a potential problem.

Hi Lukas,
I'm the one who added the #description method on the class side.
Would it help if this method was renamed ?

Thanks for offering to rename it. It would help, but I think it would
have been better if I named the method in Magritte different in the
first place :-/ It is Magritte that should change ... though in the
current state it is also no big deal to work around.
