Hi
why can we put comment in class comment?
For example I worked on fixing 1.2 and now I want to execute the
configurationOfPharo and no magic invocation....
JUST A FUCKING EMPTY class comment as usual.
So again I feel like an idiot and I'm trying in the dark. You have
NOT A SINGLE REASON NOT TO PUT COMMENT!
One of these days I will hack the system to break the load when a
class as no comment.
I was the original author of such class. And yes, I don't write class
comments. I am not use too, usually because:
- I almost don't find it use
- The browser doesn't help me to see class comments
- Who can guess that under a '?' there are class comments? I discovered
that YEARS after I was already using Smalltalk
- I prefer writting/reading a TestCase for such class (I know it is not
the same as class comments, but it helps).
- I prefer looking at senders/references to such class
- When class comments are long, the browser is FUCKING slow to write
Even more, in this case, what would you write for example?
ConfigurationOf* are just Metacello Configurations. What would you need
to know about that despite of Metacello? If you know Metacello, you
should know how to query the configuration and get all the things you
want, like groups, packages, etc
So now after randomly trying.....I get a nice DNU.
But do you think that could be fixed just because of having class comments?
Apparently my time is not worth anything....
So if you want to see if my fix works. Give a try I will not and if
what I did break, may be I will have a look or may be not
because no time for that after.
And BTW do not put any comment, it feels much cooler that way.
