Re: [Pharo-users] Methods & Classes using the command line.
This should be similar to having the code in playground and executing it at once. I guess it's more forgiving. What I sometimes do to work around it is to store the created class into variable, or use symbol and asClass cast e.g. cls := Object subclass: #TestClass. cls compile:'meth'. or Object subclass: #TestClass. #TestClass asClass compile:'meth'.

So, when the expression is compiled, the class TestClass does not exist yet. And what you see is a compiler warning. However, as soon as the class is created, the class is available to the already compiled code and should work.

If I try: ./pharo Pharo.image eval "Object subclass: #TestClass instanceVariableNames: 'one' classVariableNames: '' package: 'IS-Test'. TestClass compile:'one ^one' classified: 'accessor'. TestClass" (note that I just aded *TestClass * at the end) I get the following output: => UndefinedObject>>DoIt (TestClass is Undeclared) UndefinedObject>>DoIt (TestClass is Undeclared) TestClass That is: two compiler warnings. + the class that is printed at the end.

[Pharo-users] Methods & Classes using the command line.
Hi pharoers, If I do the following in a minimal Pharo image, using the command line: ./Pharo --headless Pharo.image eval "Object subclass: #TestClass instanceVariableNames: 'one' classVariableNames: '' package: 'IS-Test'." I get the class created. However, if I try to pass the following argument to eval: "Object subclass: #TestClass instanceVariableNames: 'one' classVariableNames: '' package: 'IS-Test'. TestClass compile:'one ^one' classified: 'accessor'." I get an UndefinedObject>>DoIt (TestClass is Undeclared). At first I thought it could be that it takes sometime to compile the class, so added some delay: "Object subclass: #TestClass instanceVariableNames: 'one' classVariableNames: '' package: 'IS-Test'. (Delay forSeconds: 5) wait. TestClass compile:'one ^one' classified: 'accessor'." But again: UndefinedObject>>DoIt (TestClass is Undeclared). I even tried to do: "Object subclass: #TestClass instanceVariableNames: 'one' classVariableNames: '' package: 'IS-Test'. Smalltalk saveAndQuit." and after that add only a method by passing: "TestClass compile:'one ^one' classified: 'accessor'. Smalltalk saveAndQuit." But again: UndefinedObject>>DoIt (TestClass is Undeclared) How do I add a method to a class using the command line? Thanks in advance Nacho - Nacho Smalltalker apprentice.
