Need help with Squeak

powerpoint56

In my mod Explore, whenever I try to file-out ScriptableScratchMorph and other places, I keep getting errors. I tried filing-out from the browser (below) and the change sorter, but neither worked.

Can someone help me fix them?
Thanks!

Errors:

When filing-out from browser

message not understood: runs
UndefinedObject(Object)>>error:
UndefinedObject(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand:
StandardFileStream(WriteStream)>>nextChunkPutWithStyle:
RemoteString>>string:onFileNumber:toFile:

When filing-out from change sorter

message not understood: fileOutClass

CursorWithMask(Cursor)>>showWhile:
MenuMorph>>invokeItem:event:
MenuItemMorph>>mouseUp:

It looks like something is wrong with “fileOutClass” (from ScriptableScratchMorph), but I'm not sure.

Do not post a request for help without detailed information and an indication of what you've already tried.

Ok, fixed.

I keep getting errors.

You need to specify which errors. There's more than one kind. Copy-paste the error message from Squeak or take a screenshot of the debugger window. Even more importantly, pay attention to the error message. Squeak debuggers tell you an enormous amount about both what went wrong and where it went wrong, and if you read the error message carefully you can get a much better understanding of why it didn't work. Once you have that understanding, you'll be able to try doing things to fix the error (make sure you save your changes in a new change set so you can revert them if necessary).

If you do all of that and you still can't figure it out, it shows that you have spent time trying to fix the problem yourself before coming to the forums. This encourages people to help you because they know that you respect their time and have tried your best to solve the problem before you ask them to solve it for you.

Yeah, I have done a lot of testing and looked at the error messages. They've been very scattered and hard to understand, but I will post them.

Post your image.

The download page is here: http://explore-programming.weebly.com/download.html. You can just get the .image in the second download (“for another OS”).

…and the changes file.

I lost it, which may be the problem. My old computer died, and when I transferred Explore over I lost the changes file. (I think I had the same problem before the changes file disappeared, but I can't be sure)

OK, somehow most of your classes had a nil classComment. Run this code from anywhere:

Metaclass allInstances do: [:class | [class comment] ifError: [class theNonMetaClass organization classComment: '']]

Whoa, thanks a ton! I'll put you in the credits.
