Wait two seconds

Why so complicated

"2 seconds wait"

will do as well, is more compact and crystal clear ;)

Have fun

Re: Wait two seconds

Hi there,

I really liked the video, sent it to a friend to convince him to try Pharo... It also remind me that there is this really nice tool, the finder. Sadly, on the first try I had a bug:

this request by example is working
#('bc' 'ab')..#('ab' 'bc')

this one is not
{'bc'. 'ab'}..{'ab'. 'bc'}

Interestingly, `#('bc' 'ab').{'ab'. 'bc'}` works

N.B. in general you can leave out the extra $.

I had a bug...

Issue 15540: Finder Should Accept Run-Time Arrays
https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?15540

I traced the problem to Finder>>findSelector:, which uses #parseLiterals, but:

'{1. 2}' parseLiterals. "#(#'{' 1 #'.' 2 #'}')"
'#(1 2)' parseLiterals. "#(#(1 2))"

Cheers,
Sean

Re: Wait two seconds

Indeed.
I would love somebody to work on a new generation example finder as
mentioned in PharoTopics :)
