more Info in aboutSqueak

2011/1/13 Eliot Miranda <[hidden email]>

Which platform? I infer linux. [Please can we be more informative in these discussions. It's hard trying to follow all the VM bugs when people don't specify the platform. please :)]

I always thought it would be nice to have something that offers more info about the system and it's environment than what aboutSqueak shows.
Morphic-laza.514 and System-laza.414 in the Inbox are a shot at this. Instead of a dialog this opens a workspace with some more info that can be easily edited/copied/pasted into an email, eg.

Image
    Squeak4.2alpha
    latest update: #10896
    Current Change Set: Unnamed1
    H:\Squeak\Squeak4.2-10892-beta.image

Operating System/Hardware
    Win32     6.1     IX86

Virtual Machine
    Croquet Closure Cog VM [CoInterpreter VMMaker-oscog.35]
    C:\Program Files\cogwin\Croquet.exe
    C:\Program Files\cogwin\Croquet.exe

H Alex,
great idea!

As a side thought, couldn't it be a dialog with cut&past-able text?

Bye

H Alex,

I thought about that too, but now used a small ToolBuilder window instead.

In the SystemReporter you can chose what system information should be gathered. So you could have a compact overview of the image and the VM or a full length/all details report.

Add the repository SystemReporter to Monitcello.

MCHttpRepository
    location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/SystemReporter'
    user: ''
    password: ''

Load the package SystemReporter and do SystemReporter open in a workspace.

This very simple and needs to be polished further. License is MIT and everybody is invited to add code.
It's easy to extend the reporter and it is explained in the class comment.

This works with Squeak Trunk and Pharo 1.1.1 (needs to get rid of the deprecation warning)

I brushed it up a little and I think it is in an usable state now.

use TextStream to have better formatting
fixed menus
preserve order of categories
split/added some more reports:

separate image parameters
separate vm options
source files
tiny benchmarks (to give a ballpark)
VM config (INI-file on windows only)
