[squeak-dev] MNU in MCSnapshotBrowser

Hi,

The following code segment in MCSnapshotBrowser>>visibleClasses:
^ self fileDefinitions collect: #path.

triggered a MNU when browsing a package with :FILES entry. This doesn't look
like proper Smalltalk to me. Shouldn't this be:
^ self fileDefinitions collect: [:f | f path].

Is this a bug? .. Subbu

The two should be equivalent. I need some more info.

What squeak image are you using?
Does your version fix the problem?
Can you post the walkback/stacktrace?
Is there a package that raises this error that I can look at?

thanks in advance

Only if you implement Symbol>>value: which is not in any official
release (and should not be).

I used etoys-dev-4.0 image with OSProcessV4-3-6 and LPF.st. Walkback occurs with the package at http://www.squeaksource.com/LatexMorph/LatexMorph-kks.1.mcz. Somehow, some spurious files (see :FILES) got into this package and I couldn't remove them using MC.

Thanks in advance .. Subbu
