[Moose-dev] Re: [Pharo-users] [ann] gtspotter: a moldable interface for spotting objects

Hi Doru and all, Great work. All these tools are really moving the development experience a step forward :) I will try it ASAP. At this time, I just wonder if it is possible to search text in method sources. It is often useful.

Another related thing I don't know how to do, is to refactor a set of methods (could be some methods to 20 or more). In these methods, I send a specific message. Now, I just want to remove the message implementation (it is not a rename) and I have to update the code accordingly. Sometimes, I could do that by just a search/replace (text) functionality (would be cool to use patterns there) in methods source code but I cannot find a way do that for now. So I do it by hand. I wonder if it already exists a way to do that or if GTSpotter could address this issue.

GTSpotter has two goals: - Provide a uniform yet moldable interface that can work on any object, and - Handle searching through arbitrary levels of object nesting. We think this will have a significant impact on the development workflow in Pharo. Here is a couple of screenshots: <gtspotter-packages-classes.png> <gtspotter-dive-class-method-sender.png> <gtspotter-playground.png> A trailer is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhSmjR3NOlU A detailed description is available here: http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/introducing-gtspotter It works already in Pharo 3.0 and can be played with by following the instructions from: http://gt.moosetechnology.org Please let us know what you think. Enjoy, The Glamorous Team
