Object>>mustBeBoolean

Hello,

  Why does Object>>mustBeBoolean use a notification, which is
  resumable, instead of an error, which would be non resumable?

Re: Object>>mustBeBoolean

Probably to support the "proceed for truth" dialog. But I've seen it cause some interesting problems.

ATprofiling

Dear All,
I have been advised to do an execution time profiling of my program
using the AT profiling parcels...

the problem is that those parcels seem corrupted. I have even
downloaded again VW NC, and the problem remains the same ("unable to
read the file" message in the Parcel Manager).

Furthermore (or because of that ?) the "Tools -> Advanced" menu stays greyed...

Any idea ?

thanks
Paul

Re: ATprofiling

I don't see any problem with them in a 7.4.1 NC distribution. Is it possible your VisualWorks home directly
is set incorrectly, so it's looking for them in the wrong path.

I would suggest opening a File Browser and trying to load the file from there (they would be in
$VISUALWORKS/advanced).

Maybe your installed VW is too far down in the directory
hierarchy. Here's what happened to me, on an earlier
version of VW. I could see the files in the file system,
but the parcel loader would not show them (or maybe I could
see them, but not load them). I eventually moved the
directory higher up (i.e. closer to the root directory,
so the full path name is shorter). I think I had to somehow
specify the new location.

AW: Object>>mustBeBoolean

Andres,

Please update to VisualWorks 7.4.1. Since that version MustBeBoolean is a
subclass of Error.

That won't help since it implements

     mayResume
         ^true

Re: ATprofiling

Thank you very much,
it was actually the case. With the VW directory closer to the root, it
seems to work.

Re: ATprofiling

I've answered to quickly...I succeeded in loading all the
"AdvancedTools" parcels, except for the "ATProfilingUI". I don't
understand why, as they are in the same folder.
I can neither install the "ADvanced2" parcel.

The consequence is that now, the menu "Tools->Advanced" works, but not
the submenu "Time"...

The VW directory name could not be shorter, I set all the parcel path
and directory names carefully...What can I do ?
I am working on mac osx, maybe that could explain this ?

A Refactoring thing ...

I have a number of cases where I have to methods that do the same thing
and I want to get rid of one of them and change all references to be the 
other one.

I tried to rename the method I want to get rid of but it would not let me.
I then tried to temporarily delete the other method, but there are quite 
a few
cases of that method in other classes.

Is there really a reason that the RB won't let me rename method "x" to "y"
just because "y" already exists??
