profStef missing executeMethod

I'm using:

Pharo2.0
Latest update: #20625

I'm at "Reflection continued

When I do the command to go to the next lesson:
ProfStef default executeMethod: (ProfStef lookupSelector:#next).

I get the error:
ProfStef(Object) doesNotUnderstand: #executeMethod

When I browse to the class in the system browser, ProfStef doesn't have an executeMethod object.
I also checked Object and ProtoObject,just to be sure, but neither of them listed an executeMethod either.

P.S.:  I also looked at the Class Methods, though default looks like it returns an instance, so that didn't feel reasonable.

Where is executeMethod supposed to reside, and was this an intentional change that just hasn't propagated yet ('m guessing the removal of the method) or is something wrong with my image?  Also, if I wanted to include it into ProfStef, what would the method look like?

Hello,
Thanks for the response.  However being as I'm of the level of experience where using profStef it's probably a poor idea for me to even TRY to fix things.   I may be an experienced programmer, but my level of Smalltalk knowledge is such that I'm only guessing at what you mean.  I can't actually read the code you wrote.  And I wouldn't know how to even insert it in my local image.  (I finished the tutorial, but it wasn't covering the language to that depth.  And Pharo by Example keeps describing things that don't match what I see on my screen.  Often I can figure out what is meant, but sometimes there doesn't seem to be anything that does the same job.  (E.g., I haven't figured out how to get "Time now." to report in 24hour time.)

I THINK that this should be changed in profStef rather than in Object, probably by removing the reference.  But that's just a guess.  (That much I can do in my image, but I wouldn't want to do it in any shared code without someone a LOT more knowledgeable saying it's a good idea, and watching over my shoulder.)

Hello,

I think #executeMethod was a shortcut for method without arguments of the method #withArgs:executeMethod:. I missed it too, so I guess you can add a bug report, create and commit a slice and lastly it will be integrated in Pharo in the next few days.

#withArgs:executeMethod: is implemented in ProtoObject, but we take care not to have too many methods there. This kind of facilities are usually in Object (For example, #isNil is in ProtoObject, but #notNil which is a facility for 'isNil not' is in Object). So I guess what you miss is:

Object>>executeMethod: method

    ^ self withArgs: #( ) executeMethod: method

Best,
