Smalltalk Debugger

关于

Provides a systematic workflow for debugging Pharo Smalltalk code within AI-driven development environments. This skill guides you through identifying error locations from stack traces, verifying behavior with incremental code execution, and inspecting intermediate object states to find the root cause of bugs. It is essential for troubleshooting test failures, diagnosing runtime errors, and investigating any unexpected application behavior, ensuring a structured and efficient debugging process.

主要功能

• Quick reference guides for common Smalltalk error types and their solutions.
• A core step-by-step debugging workflow: identify, verify, inspect, and fix.
• Essential patterns for safe code execution with error handling and detailed object state inspection.
• Guidance on using specific Smalltalk tools for code evaluation, source inspection, and searching for method implementors.
• Best practices including incremental testing, fixing code in Tonel files, and re-importing changes.

使用场景

• Resolving test failures by incrementally executing test code and inspecting values.
• Diagnosing runtime errors like `MessageNotUnderstood` or `KeyNotFound` by analyzing the stack trace.
• Investigating unexpected behavior by checking intermediate values in collection operations or complex methods.
