install TraitsBrowser?

Trygve
There is an excellent home page for Traits:
   http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~scg/Research/Traits/
It has several very informative articles; it is wonderful to see a
package that is built on solid ground.

I miss one very important piece of information: How do I install the
latest TraitsBrowser?
(I start from Squeak3.10.gamma.7159 with the addition of my own code)

Thanks

Hi Trygve,

the TraitBrowser as presented in the trait articles does not exist
anymore. You can download an image with it, but it will be an old
Squeak image. I advise you to download a squeak-dev image
http://damien.cassou.free.fr/squeak-dev.html which contains necessary
tools to start working with traits. Feel free to ask any question.

In reply to this post by Trygve

After the discussion about traits or no traits I read the paper
"Traits: Tools and Methodology" and was just about to ask the same
question. Where to find this Traitsbrowser. So now why does this
Traitsbrowser not exist anymore? I thought this was very promising.
I know in the devimage are Omnibrowser extensions for traits, the one
button next to "instance, class, ?" to showing traits, and maybe some more or
less hidden functions. But this traits view is a bit confusing. For example the
class pane slides to the left and what you see in the traitspanel isnt always a triat
but the same class.
I also tried the OB-Traitsbrowser(?), is this under further development ?. The last
time I installed this browser, it nearly freezes my image with terrible long computations
(for the dynamic protocols I think).

Re: install TraitsBrowser?

Trygve
In reply to this post by Damien Cassou-3
Damien ,
many thanks for quick answer.

Traits seems to me to be a very promising and powerful extension of the Smalltalk class model.
I believe that Traits can help separate the code for what a system does from the code for what it is.
I want to build on Traits for my own experiments.
I need my image to be reproducible, so I need to build a Traits-enabled browser from scratch.
I cannot keep control if I build on a development image containing features with unknown provenance.

I would, therefore, greatly appreciate it if you could point me to appropriate downloads for the necessary tools to start working with Traits.

Cheers

Re: install TraitsBrowser?

In reply to this post by Nicolai Hess
Hi Nicolai,

The reason why the old browser does not exist anymore is that it was  
part of the initial implementation of Nathanael. Since this  
implementation had grown out of research, it contained many  
experiments etc. Therefore, Nathanael and I did a clean new  
implementation of Traits, that is part of 3.9 now. What we did not do  
is port the old browser extension (which was hackish because of the  
inherent problems of the Morphic browser). There have been various  
efforts to implement new GUI support with OmniBrowser, but AFAIK, none  
has reached the state where it is really stable.

Cheers,
Adrian

Re: install TraitsBrowser?

Nicolai Hess
In reply to this post by Trygve

Thank you for your quick answer.

So, no chance to get this browser for current traitsimplementation.

I wrote a small "traitsbrowser" based on omnibrowser-framework. It is
a really cool framework, just some lines of code to get a browser to
show all traits, which classes and traits using this trait and all selectors
per class or used trait.

But it seems that omnibrowser is basically usable for browsing and editing in a single
place. For refactoring or traitsbased development, it lacks the possiblity
to have multiple views of different classes, and for example a side-by-side
lists of class selectors to better compare two class structures.
And the navigation pane can only show on "path".
Especially to compare class selectors and a traits "interface" it would
be good to view this side-by-side. Or to see the trait or another class "growing" while
refactoring methods out from one class there.

I know there is an extension for omnibrowser with multiple views. But this
views are again for one single class.

Nicolai,
Is it easy for you to give me a file that I can install as a starting point for my own work? That would save me from digging into OmniBrowser and Traits classes before I know I need them.

Sure. Using the Universe browser (available on 3.10 images and on
SqueakMap and SqueakSource), install OmniBrowser-TraitsIntegration,
OmniBrowser-Standard and OmniBrowser-Morphic. If you want to base your
image on top of 3.9, you have to manually unload OmniBrowser before
installing it. You can also work on top of 3.9.1 which should not
contain OB.

Damien developed Nile (a stream library based on traits) with the  
browser available in the dev image.
It is far from perfect but usable.

Thanks for your support. People have been bashing so much traits  
recently.

Re: install TraitsBrowser?

Damien, Stephane
    OB System Browser worked at first try and looks exciting. (I've already fixed what looked like a type error)
Many thanks

Nicolai,
Is it easy for you to give me a file that I can install as a starting point for my own work? That would save me from digging into OmniBrowser and Traits classes before I know I need them.

Thank you for your quick answer.

So, no chance to get this browser for current traitsimplementation.

I wrote a small "traitsbrowser" based on omnibrowser-framework. It is
a really cool framework, just some lines of code to get a browser to
show all traits, which classes and traits using this trait and all selectors
per class or used trait.

But it seems that omnibrowser is basically usable for browsing and editing in a single
place. For refactoring or traitsbased development, it lacks the possiblity
to have multiple views of different classes, and for example a side-by-side
lists of class selectors to better compare two class structures.
And the navigation pane can only show on "path".
Especially to compare class selectors and a traits "interface" it would
be good to view this side-by-side. Or to see the trait or another class "growing" while
refactoring methods out from one class there.

I know there is an extension for omnibrowser with multiple views. But this
views are again for one single class.

Hi Nicolai,

The reason why the old browser does not exist anymore is that it was
part of the initial implementation of Nathanael. Since this
implementation had grown out of research, it contained many
experiments etc. Therefore, Nathanael and I did a clean new
implementation of Traits, that is part of 3.9 now. What we did not do
is port the old browser extension (which was hackish because of the
inherent problems of the Morphic browser). There have been various
efforts to implement new GUI support with OmniBrowser, but AFAIK, none
has reached the state where it is really stable.

Cheers,
Adrian

I know in the devimage are Omnibrowser extensions for traits, the one
button next to "instance, class, ?" to showing traits, and maybe
some more or

example the
class pane slides to the left and what you see in the traitspanel

I also tried the OB-Traitsbrowser(?), is this under further

Hi Trygve,

the TraitBrowser as presented in the trait articles does not exist
anymore. You can download an image with it, but it will be an old
Squeak image. I advise you to download a squeak-dev image
http://damien.cassou.free.fr/squeak-dev.html which contains necessary
tools to start working with traits. Feel free to ask any question.

What type error?
It was the classical Smalltalk error: an uninitialized inst.var. (nil instead of a Boolean).

The error occurred when I first opened OBSystemBrowser. hasChanges was nil when it shouldn't be; I think this was the failing method.

 OBCodeBrowser>>stepAt: milliseconds in: aSystemWindow
    hasChanges ifTrue: [self signalRefresh].
    self clearChanges

I added
   OBCodeBrowser>>initialize
    " Missing method. Type error: hasChanges not always set. "
    super initialize.
    self clearChanges.

A comment: I like to add an empty initialize method to Object so that all other initialize methods can start with super initialize.

Cheers

I've never seen this error. What is your image and how did you install
OmniBrowser on it?

Always sending 'super initialize' is a good habit. But #initialize is
already implemented in ProtoObject so there is no need to implement it
in Object.

Re: install TraitsBrowser?

Trygve
I tried to follow your instructions. But it doesn't really matter, does it?

initialize
is called from the instantiation of OBBrowser and its subclasses. The method initialize is implemented in OBCodeBrowser where it initializes its inst.vars. The subclass, OBSystemBrowser adds another inst.var., but it doesn't have a corresponding initialize method. I call it a bug, some might call it a glitch, and there might be some that consider it good practice to rely on initializing inst.vars as side effects of various system operations. (Lazy initialization is another matter, of course)

Cheers :-)
