Changes file - how important?
by Frank Shearar 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Hi, How important is the changes file, really? I don't mean in terms of recovering from crashes, because I use my changes file all the time. I mean, if a changes file is not present, does everything still work? I ask, because SmalltalkImage >> #logChange: specifically protects against a missing changes file (in the sense that it does nothing if (Sources at: 2) == nil). However, if you start up an image with no changes file, there's a big fat modal dialog warning about the missing file, but clicking through results in what looks - at first glance at least - like a normally functioning image. If a changes file is _desirable_ but not _necessary_, could we remove the dialog (or do something different for -headless images, like dumping a warning to stderr)? Or simply start a new changes file if one's missing? The concrete problem I'm trying to work around is with the CI test script. Running the test means modifying the changes file and Jenkins really does not like that. If the changes file were not necessary I could simply not keep it under version control. Sometimes, I don't _care_ about recovering from a crash. frank

I had to read "son-wrangle" a few times before I knew what you meant. :) OK, so the problem is when you do a build, the workspace should be cleared and new content added. Jenkins is running the process and for some reason it is being told it doesn't have the right to clear the workspace. I know I'm addicted to FTP and thus I'm showing my slow grudging acceptance of GitHub, but I can log in as teamjenkins user and delete things with Fetch. That had been a problem before. But Jenkins cannot when prompted to clear the workspace and pull down fresh supplies. Hmmm... Manual clearing of the workspace is an option. A pretty ugly one. But this problem is not a showstopper, in that case. If you want to move onto the next order of business, I'm sure the problem will fall out with time and use. Just a thought. Chris

The first is I don't use sudo on Linux, as it's usually just me on the box. As such, I've used "su -s /bin/sh -c..." instead. The second is are you sure you want /home/teamjenkins/workspace/Squeak? And not: /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/Squeak A symbolic link from one to the other gives an appearance of things but not a permission of things. Actually, I did it in that dir and got the same response: [root@server1 Squeak]# pwd /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/Squeak [root@server1 Squeak]# su -s /bin/sh -c "git reset --hard" - jenkins fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git I'm back in front of the computer now, so I can respond more quickly.

First green ball on Jenkins

"OK, I have a possible fix. Chris Cunnington, would you please run "git reset --hard" in /home/teamjenkins/workspace/Squeak ? You'll need to do that as the jenkins user or via sudo, rather than teamjenkins. Thanks!" [root@server1 Squeak]# git reset --hard HEAD is now at 1465a2f This should contain all the packages whose tests all pass. Failing packages commented out.

Hey, Sean: a Jenkins question for you
by Chris Cunnington 01 Aug '12

False alarm, I think. I don't think this is a Jenkins problem. It's just me baffling myself with a symbolic link. I used one to make the Jenkins workspace directory accessible from the teamjenkins directory to provide FTP access. Chris

In httpEquiv: anObject self attributeAt: #http-equiv put: anObject The symbol #http-equiv cannot be a symbol. Should be: httpEquiv: anObject self attributeAt: #'http-equiv' put: anObject Is that right? Cheers, Darius

turning off garbage collection
by Chris Muller 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

I'm trying to investigate a reproducible Cog crash and beginning to wonder whether Cog may have some sort of timing issue with the garbage collector. Is there an easy way to turn off the garbage collector in the image?
