[spotter] How do I get all the pragmas of the system?

thanks

I notice that I could not get it either with finder and I found a bug into finder and regex :)

Hi,

This is not provided because that search is too expensive to happen by default.

Take a look at the current implementation:

GTSpotter>>spotterForPragmasFor: aStep
<spotterOrder: 40>
aStep listProcessor 
allCandidates: [ PragmaType all ];
title: 'Pragmas';
itemName: [ :pragma | pragma keyword ];
filter: GTFilterSubstring;
wantsToDisplayOnEmptyQuery: false

The last statement says that you have to have a query to start the search. And because it is implemented using as a substring filter, you will only get something when you have a letter in the search.

Now, if you want to have a full text search option, for example using string match patterns, you can do this:

GTSpotter>>spotterForPragmasFor: aStep

<spotterOrder: 40>

aStep listProcessor 

allCandidates: [ PragmaType all ];

title: 'Pragmas';

itemName: [ :pragma | pragma keyword ];

filter: GTFilterStringMatch;

wantsToDisplayOnEmptyQuery: false

Now, if you type 

#pragma * you get all pragmas

The StringMatch is slower than the Substring and that is why we do not use it by default. We still would like to work on a more unified search strategy, but we did not get to it. Perhaps someone else could propose something.

Cheers,

Doru
