Hi Sven,

thanks. Did not notice that I need three instead of two slashes. So no need
to explicitly convert to ZnUrl.

So for the records this is what works:


pathToPackageDirectory := 'C:\ClonedRepo\packages'.
Metacello new
  baseline: 'MyProject';
  repository: ('gitfiletree:///', pathToPackageDirectory)  ;
  load.         
So mixing back & forward slashes works ? Pretty weird ;-)
Yes that is interesting ... in Metacello for Pharo,  `('/', 
pathToPackageDirectory ) asFileReference` (stripping the leading 
'filetree://') is being used to create the FileTree repository from the 
repository description ... so apparently this is how FileSystem deals 
with windows pathnames ???

Oh wait, that is a gitfiletee url ... not sure how that is handles ...

Dale

Thanks

Hi Torsten,

Just for the ZnUrl part, have a look at

ZnFileUrlTests>>#testWindowsDriveNamesInFileUrl

AFAIK, your example should be written as:

('filetree:///' , 'C:/ClonedRepo/packages') asZnUrl.

Or maybe,

(FileLocator C / 'ClonedRepo' / 'packages') asZnUrl.

Hi,

according to the Metacello quide on [1] in section "Prime Metacello registry" 
one can write

| pathToPackageDirectory |
"edit to match the path to your chosen package directory"
pathToPackageDirectory := '/opt/git/Sample/packages'.
Metacello new
baseline: 'Sample';
repository: 'filetree://', pathToPackageDirectory;
load.

Adopting this for a Windows path I have:

| pathToPackageDirectory |
pathToPackageDirectory := 'C:\ClonedRepo\packages'.
Metacello new
baseline: 'MyProject';
repository: 'filetree://', pathToPackageDirectory;
load.

But I get a ZnPortNotANumber exception, even when I use a diffent protocol like 
"client://".
Tried this in Pharo 6.0 Latest update: #60233

What I want to do (on Windows) is to load all project packages from a local 
cloned git
directory (not a remote GitHub) using the dependencies given in the Baseline.

Did I miss something, is it just broken or the docu not up to date? If so is 
this a parsing issue on the Zinc URLs
or an issue of Metacello API?

Thanks
T.
