Hi,
I've removed Magritte's description caching in the latest version so that
descriptions are now created dynamically on demand. Without the cache I
found I needed to guard against recursive descriptions and ended up using a
dynamic-variable as a temporary cache to break the recursion.
I had to modify one test to avoid a failure:
MADescriptionBuilderTest>>testRecursive
self assert: self magritteDescription children first reference = self
magritteDescription
The failure was caused by the child descriptions both having null accessors
which use random UUIDs so will never be equal. I fixed this by specify an
accessor: "accessor: MADictionaryAccessor new;"
I've created a Magritte-Deprecated package which contains:
MADescriptionBuilder
MANamedBuilder
MAProxyObject
MADynamicObject
MADynamicObjectTest
Also the following package extension methods have been placed in deprecated:
Object>>#description
Object class>>#description
BlockClosure>>#magritteDynamicObject
BlockContext>>#magritteDynamicObject
and I've removed all references to #magritteDynamicObject and the
associated block in the core Magritte packages.
Nick
