username/password in MC working copies

I experience exactly the same problem. Using MetacelloBrowser or versionner solves this problem by asking you whether you want to add a user if none is defined before committing.

Hi Dale. I wonder if Metacello can do the following. Situation: I work in some projects that are in squeaksource as "global read", which means that in order to commit I need my username/password. So...each time I donwload something with Metacello, I ALWAYS commit, I get the error saying I don't have access. Go, edit metacello repo info, and recommit. I would like to avoid that :)

Let's take as an example, Fuel. So I know that in ConfigurationOfFuel I could write something like:

baseline17: spec
        <version: '1.7-baseline'>
       
        spec for: #pharo do: [
                spec blessing: #baseline.
                spec repository: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/Fuel'  username: 'MMP' password: 'XXX'.

....

The problem is that I am not the only developer of Fuel, hence, I cannot do that.  Now...imagine I have my own ConfigurationOfMariano which has a project reference to ConfigurationOfFuel, like this:

    spec
            project: 'Fuel' with: [
            spec
                className: 'ConfigurationOfFuel';
                loads: #('CoreWithExtras' 'Tests' 'Benchmarks' 'FuelProgressUpdateBenchmarks' 'FuelLogo' 'Examples' 'PackageLoaderWithTests' 'FuelContainer' );
                file: 'ConfigurationOfFuel';
                versionString: #bleedingEdge;
                repository: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository' ].


So...I would love to add a line there saying  username: 'MMP'  password: 'XXX' so that such info is automatically put in the generated Monticello package once Metacello finished loading.

Can I do that with Metacello?  If I can't, (since you are also a Monticello guru) do you have an idea how can I script it?  I mean, how can I add my username/pass from code to a particular monticello repo?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Thanks, but I don't user MetacelloBrowser. I want to do it by code.

Mariano,

Anything beyond the username:password: support in Metacello is in the domain of tools ...

One could argue that the Monticello toolset itself is the problem child in this case:)

For GemStone I have added an exception handler to the Monticello browser that prompts you for a userName and password when you get the access violation on the http request and that works fairly well for me ... It's a relatively straightforward problem to solve ...

Your solution in a later email is actually pretty good under the circumstances:)

Dale
