Is there a way to store workspace 'gists' in Pharo?

369 posts

From time to time I write a workspace script that I would like to keep. Obviously, I could save them to a file, but I was wondering if there was a way of saving them in the image, and browsing them in some friendly way?

Cheers

If you work with Pharo 4, they should already be saved in a play-cache folder.

There is also ScriptManager http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~TorstenBergmann/ScriptManager

but I do not know if it works with GTPlaygrounds and it seems to have some issues with Morphic?

Hi andy

I usually create a method and a class.
because script do not compose well.

+1 although I don't practise this well. I use ScriptManager but when my images
proliferate it becomes messy to manage the scripts across images.

Thanks, that sounds interesting. And, just for clarity, do you mean that you create a single class e.g. MyGists and then create methods for each of your useful snippets? Or, is there a benefit in creating a class per gist?

In fact I try to avoid utilities class by defining as few as possible but the mandatory/handy class side methods on the most relevant class.
My point is that if you script is useful then it can be an interesting method with some parameters and its "instantiation" can be just a class side method
calling a method with the right parameters.
