Hi Usman,

The method at:ifAbsentPut: does not interpret the argument.
Just put "self myAuthor" instead of #myAuthor, it should work.

Cheers,

I am trying to create a cache for an attribute that I introduce in MooseEntityState of FamixType.
The following expression:

self privateState attributeAt: #authors ifAbsentPut: #myAuthors

returns me a symbol #myAuthors instead of evaluating the method myAuthors.

myAuthors is a method that I introduce in FamixType as an extension and it returns a Bag.

Why is this expression returning a symbol instead of evaluating #myAuthors as a block?

thanx

Usman
