ditch changes workflow

Hi,

I'm using the Metacello scripting API to load my code into the image.

In some cases, I make some changes in my Pharo image that I decide to
throw away. I would then like to load my baseline from a file tree
repository into my image.

If I use Gofer, and there are changes in the image, I get this
behaviour: a warning that says I have unsaved changes in my image, and
I then have the option to Load, Merge or Cancel. I like this.

If I use Metacello, the changes in my image are not updated and the
package stays dirty. I've spent considerable time debugging and
frankly, I'm giving up. I end up in loadUsing:gofer:, that goes
through a chain of load directives, and this ends up doing nothing.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Otto

Re: ditch changes workflow

this is not metacello stuff, but I’m usually throw away the image and create a new one, if I want to go back to previous versions.
I have a script:

phget -o -d myDir

it will download latest image put in subdir myDir (with name myDir.image) and if it find a file: pharo_config with some template it will load the configuration.

you can see my scripts and take a look at pharo_config template here:

cheers,
Esteban

ps: they assume a mac and vm installed in Application/Pharo/…, but they can be easily adapted to any non-windows environment (and even windows with a decent tool setting :)

Thanks, we've got the option of getting a new using our tools /
scripts too. But if I have changed 5 methods that I want to ditch,
then building an image takes some time. I'd like this to be fast and I
can't see why it is not possible to load from disk quickly, ignoring
changes in the image if I wish?
