New subject: Updating Magritte Tutorial to not elicit complaints about deprecated functions being used...

13 Jul 2007

Lukas et-al,

I figured I'd try to update the Magritte Tutorial on the VW side 
(Magritte is now running well on VW care of yesterday's efforts -- 
Thanks!)  (and I'll see if I can move the changes over to Squeak if 
there's interest) to no longer issue complaints about using deprecated 
methods and was wondering if someone could point me in the right 
direction for one of the updates as a sample.. 

Below is one of the complaining methods:

MADescription>>auto: aSelector label: aString priority: aNumber
    self deprecated: 'Obsolete, use instance side configuration methods.'.
    ^ self accessor: (MAAutoSelectorAccessor selector: aSelector) label: 
aString priority: aNumber

Magritte.MAAddressModel>>descriptionCanton
    ^ (MASingleOptionDescription auto: 'canton' label: 'Canton' 
priority: 40)
        options: #( 'Zurich' 'Bern' 'Luzern' 'Uri'
'Schwyz' 
'Unterwalden' 'Glarus' 'Zug' 'Freiburg'
'Solothurn' 'Basel' 
'Schaffhausen' 'Appenzell' 'St. Gallen' 'Graubunden'
'Aargau' 'Thurgau' 
'Ticino' 'Vaud' 'Valais' 'Neuchatel' 'Geneve'
'Jura' );
        reference: MAStringDescription new;
        beSorted;
        yourself.

I tried converting the above #descriptionCanton to the following but it 
didn't work -- perhaps I'm misinterpretting the object layout.. Any 
suggestions?

descriptionCanton
" OLD CODE WAS:   ^ (MASingleOptionDescription auto: 'canton' label: 
'Canton' priority: 40)"
    ^(self accessor: (MAAutoSelectorAccessor selector: 'canton' label: 
'Canton' priority: 40))
        options: #( 'Zurich' 'Bern' 'Luzern' 'Uri'
'Schwyz' 
'Unterwalden' 'Glarus' 'Zug' 'Freiburg'
'Solothurn' 'Basel' 
'Schaffhausen' 'Appenzell' 'St. Gallen' 'Graubunden'
'Aargau' 'Thurgau' 
'Ticino' 'Vaud' 'Valais' 'Neuchatel' 'Geneve'
'Jura' );
        reference: MAStringDescription new;
        beSorted;
        yourself.
