Installation

Prepared package

List of prepared Pharo VMs with specific OpenPonk plugins can be found on the official website.

Once downloaded, just extract and run openponk-XXX, where XXX is the suffix for the plugin set you downloaded.

Installation from source

To install from source, follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository, optionally also clone OpenPonk plugins that you are interested in.
2. Download Pharo VM appropriate for your platform from Pharo's official website. Then install it (or extract it, if you downloaded standalone version (in which case you will also need to download the "Pharo Image")).
3. Once your Pharo VM is running, navigate to Iceberg Repositories ("Browse" > "Iceberg", Ctrl+O+I)
4. Click the Add button (green plus on the right top side Iceberg's Repositories window). Select "Import from existing clone" and navigate to location you cloned this repository to. Click Ok to add the repository to the repository list.
5. Right click newly added repository (the status will be "Not loaded") and select "Metacello" > "Install baseline of ... (Default)". If there are conflicts ("Duplicated project! There is already a project XXX in this installation.") select "Use LOADED version YYY".
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each OpenPonk plugin you wish to load.

Now you should see OpenPonk and your selected plugins on the top Pharo menu bar.

openponk's Issues

Line bending

Similar to BORM

Show/hide browser does not update checks of children when they are created by parent controller

Auto-refresh elements in other diagrams

Models with diacritics are not saved properly

Model with diacritics either are not saved at all or with wrong encoding and cannot be loaded

Loading closed model with multiple diagrams shows even hidden elements

Lock palette selection

On double click keep the palette element selected ->keep adding the same element without picking palette element again.

Editor form elements are too large

Editor form elements have wrong size and positioning (stretch to fill whole form)

Editor form does not scroll when elements do not fit (hides them)

Persistence is not working because persistence of diagrams (views) is broken

This might be issue of each plugin, but probably not, because it affects all of them.

Renaming default diagram

Credentials in the project file?

https://github.com/OpenPonk/openponk/blob/master/repository/OpenPonk-Telemetry/OPTelemetry.class.st

Looking at this file there are some credentials at the bottom, anything valid?

Make show/hide browser open only once and refresh

Undo / redo

Roassal stable version does not work in P6+ anymore

Roassal 'stable' version does not work in P6.1+ anymore - displays several warning when loading into Pharo 6.1+.
Baseline needs to be updated to version 1.59 which fixes the problem with loading into Pharo 6.1 but is not marked as stable.

Multiple models in one Workbench

Update instructions for Win network drives and Linux distros

Project Tree is not updating

Resizable panels

Problem with line endings while committing to OpenPonk repositories

Probably it's me but I tried two commits from Pharo 9, one from macOS and another one from Windows, and in both cases the line endings are always taken into account when comparing diff:

This is a commit from Windows:

hernanmd@e3824fe

The OpenPonk repositories are the only ones where I have this problem.
Should I set something else before committing to this repo?

Hiding elements in separate diagram views

bad gateway

Attempts to use download links from https://openponk.github.io/ result in BAD GATEWAY errors.

'=' sign doesn't disappear after removing source/target default value in UML diagram association link

using the latest openponk-plugins-win-nightly.zip

writing default values works fine:

but after deleting default values '=' sign doesn't disappear:

Changing name of element in form triggers hotkeys of palette

Cloned view shows all elements

Button "clone view" show all elements instead just "cloning" showed ones from original diagram.

Move to Spec2

• #104
• Keyboard shortcuts
• OP tests
• FileBrowser tests
• FSM simulator
• Match name text field and selected file in FileBrowser
• Allow changing Editor layout of existing OP windows
• Resize canvas when resizing window (instead of Properties)

Persist edge labels positions

Depends on v1.x of borm-editor which does not exist

OpenPonk depends on version v1.x of https://github.com/OpenPonk/borm-editor , but latest version is 0.9

Hiding elements by type

Pallet items with "more info" question marks

Support for palette categories

Whenever there is too many items on palette, user has to scroll up and down. It should be more useful when similar palette items were grouped together and could be expanded when needed.

DuplicatedSlotName while installing in Pharo 7

When loading into a clean Pharo 7, during OpenPonk-Trachel compilation I received:

DuplicatedSlotName: Slot #'width' appeared twice in OPTRArcShape

Installation script:

Metacello new
	baseline: 'OpenPonk';
	repository: 'github://openponk/OpenPonk';
	load.

Removing element with hidden dependencies does not remove them

Whenever there is an element with dependent elements, like UML Class with attached associations, these dependent elements are hidden, then the main element is removed, those dependent elements are not removed from model.

Copy paste

Closing diagram tab causes error

Removing element does not update other views

Whenever element is removed through one diagram, the element is not removed from other diagrams

Direct download throws up dependencies against Pharo 7 64bit stable

What is the starting Pharo image works with the direct download?

I tried the following.

Running windows 10.

Installed Pharo from: https://files.pharo.org/pharo-launcher/windows to get pharo-launcher-1.9.2

Starting with:
Pharo 7.0.4
Build information: Pharo-7.0.4+build.169.sha.a2a2b23d681754955d27b7c5a47ed1e9f87ef7b8 (64 Bit)

Then loaded metacello with:

Iceberg enableMetacelloIntegration: false.

Metacello new
    baseline: 'Metacello';
    repository: 'github://metacello/metacello:pharo-6.1_dev/repository';
    onConflict: [ :ex | ex allow ];
    load.

I did that because trying to run Metacello to install openponk from the playground of the virgin pharo install just crashed out of pharo. Not even sure why I tried the lines above, other than I assumed Metacello was not installed in virgin pharo install. It appeared to fix the crash,.

Then tried to direct install openponk with:

Metacello new
     baseline: 'OpenPonk';
     repository: 'github://openponk/openponk/repository';
     load: 'complete'

I get a message:

This package depends on the following classes:
  Nautilus
You must resolve these dependencies before you will be able to load these definitions: 
  Nautilus>>#showMethod:

I hit "Proceed" to ignore the report.

It proceeds up to the following report:

The method Base64MimeConverter class>>#mimeDecodeToBytes: called from TRPharoPlatform>>#mimeDecodeToBytes: has been deprecated.
Please use #base64Decoded now. See issue #21937

Select Proceed to continue, or close this window to cancel the operation.

Hitting "Proceed" just gets it stuck in a loop that keeps then reporting the same warning.

Hitting "Debug" reports:

deprecated: anExplanationString
	"Warn that the sending method has been deprecated"
	
	Deprecation new
		context: thisContext sender;
		explanation: anExplanationString;
		signal

Hitting "Proceed" from the debug window then abort stops the install.

Is there a fix please?

Reconnecting associations

Change source or target elements of associations, generalization etc.

Pharo 8: EditableDropList does not work

EditableDropList does not work on Pharo 8. Because of that, some elements cannot be edited or added (for example any association in ClassEditor)

Showing hidden elements puts them all on the same position (0@0)

May be related to #14 (not saving positions of elements in diagrams)

Multiline element names

Renaming project

OpenPonk menu items should be together

Currently, menu items of OpenPonk (and each kind of diagram) are amongst other menu items sorted by name, so they are not together.

How to add submodels to a project?

Hi,
(Edit 11.5.2020:
The functionality I am searching for is displayed in this video at 2 minutes 3 seconds: https://youtu.be/_gQgXdJyr-0?t=124.
There a submodel is selected and you can open the submodel by pressing the green plus sign.)

I would to add submodels in BORM Editor. Either by using GUI or by coding.

For example how do you add the "Pizza Delivery" model to the other example project "Example Data Flows"?

Below is what I tried:

I tried to add Pizza Delivery as submodel to Example Data Flows by adding project's diagram and model by code in the playground.
First I opened both projects in openponk-all-in-one.image and then i executed the following code:

projects := OPProject allInstances . 

project1 := projects at: 1.

project2 := projects at: 2.

project1models := project1 models.
project1model := project1models at: 1.

project1model project.

project1diagrams := project1 diagrams.
project1diagram := project1diagrams at: 1.

project2models := project2 models.
project2models add: project1model.
project2diagrams := project2 diagrams.
project2diagrams add: project1diagram.

That managed to get the Pizza Delivery model to become visible in the Submodel dropdown list. And when the submodel is selected a green plus sign appears in the block. But I am not yet able to open the submodel.

Dependent elements are not removed

Whenever element is removed, dependent elements (probably just edges) are not removed as well, only hidden
