metacello question

Hi,
in a Configuration i have this baseline:
baseline10: spec
        <version: '1.0-baseline'>
        spec for: #'common' do: [
                spec blessing: #'baseline'.
                spec
                         project: 'Nile' with: [

                                 spec
                                         className: 'ConfigurationOfNile';
                                         versionString: #bleedingEdge;
                                          loads: #('Core Tests' );
                                         repository:
'http://www.squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository' ].
                spec repository: '/home/user/PharoFiles/package-cache'.
                spec
                        package: 'Pattern' with: [spec requires: 'Nile'];
                        package: 'Pattern-Tests' with: [spec requires: 'Pattern'.]  ].

in the method version10 i have this:
spec package: 'Pattern' with: 'Pattern-WernerKassens.14';

now i remove the package 'Pattern' and do a load with the configuration.
no complaints by the configuration. but there is no  package 'Pattern'
visible in the browser. i open the monticello browser and there is a
dirty package 'Pattern'. i open a browser on this package via the
monticello browser and 'Pattern' is completely empty. but in the
monticello browser the package shows the repository
/home/user/PharoFiles/package-cache exactly as written in the baseline.
i open that repository and of course can load 'Pattern' as expected .
where did i go wrong?

Depending on how you load your configuration you might need a line in the baseline that says:

spec group: 'Core' with:#('Pattern').



Then try

(ConfigurationOfPattern project) latestVersion load


or if you've defined #stable:

ConfigurationOfPattern load



Also in your version10 method do you define what version of Nile you want to load?

i tried spec group: 'Core' with:#('Pattern') with
(ConfigurationOfPattern project) latestVersion load
and with load:'Core'
with the same result.
i did not define a version for Nile in version10, but that should not
make a difference for my problem, as there is a definition in the
baseline, right?

Hi Mariano,
thanks, you found the problem. Remove category in the browser does not
really remove the package; if i open monticello an empty package is
still there. if i remove it in monticello the configuration works as
advertised <g>.

Werner,

I was away on vacation last week and didn't see your question ....

If I were to guess, I would say that when you "removed package Pattern" it was not actually removed from the system (perhaps you just removed the class instead of unloading the package?) The package still existing is very suspicious... Metacello will not usually load on top of a dirty package, so when you tried again, the package Pattern was not reloaded ...

Metacello will dump information about skipping dirty packages into the Transcript ....

Hi Dale,
yes that was the problem, i used 'Remove category' in the browser. after
removing the package in monticello, everything worked.
thanks
