Does not load in Pharo 7.0.4

[dirkesquire]

Brand new Pharo 7 image (downloaded from Pharo Launcher).

Ran the following code from the readme:

Metacello new
  baseline: 'NTriples';
  repository: 'github://codeZeilen/SmalltalkNTriples/repository';
  load.

Got the following error:

Hi :)
currently the package is designed for Squeak/Smalltalk and automatic builds are only testing that. Do you need the package urgently right now? Then I would take a look what can be done to make it compatible.

[dirkesquire]

No not urgent at all, I am happy to wait till you have time.
I am just looking for a way to parse Triples and even ideally Turtle syntax and your package was the only one I came across.

[codeZeilen]

I'll see to it as soon as possible (it does not support full turtle though, only NTriples) :) Maybe one relevant question though: How big are the files you want to parse? The parser is based on an interpreted parsing language which is rather slow.

[dirkesquire]

Oh very small files, and it does not matter if it is a bit slow :)
Thank you so much!
I must admit I did not realise that it was designed for Squeak and not Pharo. I hope thats not too big of an adjustment. But I think it will be really cool if it worked in Pharo :)

[codeZeilen]

I looked into it and the issue is two levels deep in the dependencies. The problem will be porting Ohm/S to Pharo which is a rather major project as it is deeply integrated into Squeaks meta-object infrastructure right now. I have an alternative parser generator backend for Ohm/S, however it still has a number of issues and this would also require quite some time to update. So for the forseeable future this will probably only run on Squeak. Sorry for that.

(and I do think it is a shame that it is so difficult to use libraries from one of the envs in the other :/)

[dirkesquire]

Thats okay, don't worry. It is my mistake for not realising it was a Squeak library! Thank you for looking into whether it could work. I don't know if a parser such as PetitParser2 could maybe work on Pharo. It is such a shame that Pharo and Squeak are not more interoperable. I am happy if you want to close this issue 😃
