In Pharo, I know that integers understand the message to:. The workspace offers suggestions:
But if I inspect an integer from the workspace, it doesn't mention to::
Searching for SmallInteger doesn't show anything in the system browser either:
How do I discover which messages I can send to objects? Ideally I'd like to see their source code too.
Revisiting your question I noticed that, in your last screenshot, you did not search for the class SmallInteger but for a package named SmallInteger. This Package does not exist.
But you probably wanted to search for the class SmallInteger. This is done by the keyboard shortcut Cmd-F Cmd-C (Alt-F Alt-C on Linux) or by selecting Find Class… in the context menu of the class panel of the Nautilus system browser. This lets you browse the methods implemented in SmallInteger. If you work up your way through the superclasses you can have a look at all messages understood by an instance of SmallInteger.
Each class understands the message allSelectors.
allSelectors answers a set of all the message selectors that instances of the receiver can understand. This includes all messages selectors in the method dictionary of the receiver and in the method dictionaries of it’s superclasses.
So try and print or better, inspect:
1 class allSelectors.
Also, you can just type the name of the class wherever you want, select it, then press command+B (browse). That'll bring up a browser on said class.

While using Revit API and browsing the "RevitAPI.chm" file (and browsing examples on the internet), I have noticed that some methods exist while not being listed neither in the "RevitAPI.chm" file nor suggested when using RevitPythonShell.
I explain. Let's say for instance that I have a "Space" Object, obtained with
s = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(SpatialElement).ToElements()
If I do, let's say (assuming s[0] is a valid Space object):
s[0].Geometry
I got an 'indexer object':
<indexer# object at 0x0000000000000049>
But if I do:
s[0].get_Geometry(Options())
Then I got my GeometryElement object. The same behavior goes with get_BoundingBox, for instance.
Now, that's fine, but the only way I could know about these get_something methods is by seeing examples (either on the "RevitAPI.chm", or on forums etc.). So that's kind of strange, isn't it? In the sense that these methods aren't actually listed.
So I guess my questions would be:
Is it the normal behavior? (or should I normally just get a GeometryElement object by using s[0].Geometry, for instance?)
If yes, ... why ? :D
What are these 'indexers' ?
Thanks!
Arnaud.
PS: Using Revit 2017, tests made with RevitPythonShell and pyRevit
The methods prefixed by a lowercase get_ are automatically generated getter methods. The official Revit API provides and documents the BoundingBox property on the Element class. Rather inelegantly, this so-called property takes an argument. Therefore, the C# .NET implementation generates a property getter function for it.
I obtain a HTTPCookie, but need a Net.Cookie. Are they just something you can recast, or how would i go about it?
Actually you have two questions:
Difference between System.Web.HttpCookie and System.Net.Cookie
How to convert from HTTPCookie to a Cookie.
Part 1)
This question is really interesting ,I'm still thinking why there are two classes which looks pretty same ,My initial thought was System.Web.HttpCookie inherits System.Net.Cookie but this isn't true both directly inherit from Object so they are distinct classes ,but the properties matches a lot ,so this gives a hope for the solution of part 2.
Part 2)
I think its possible to convert one into another theoretically since both are just objects if you populate them the right way it will work , here a little analysis when I compared the two classes.

Update:
The System.Web is made to be used in server-based apps and System.Net can be used for client based apps.
Some Thoughts:
Write a method or a static class which can convert one object into another, I haven't check all of them but properties whose names match, there signature also matches.
Properties which don't exists in the another object you can stuff some constant or a value which you know matches the scenario like Port number.
Good luck ,let me know how you came up with the final solution ,post the code or link.

I would like to use collective.easytemplate to generate templated emails (for content rules). However, I am not sure if it can output an objects workflow state. Anybody know if it is possible and how it is done?
Thanks.
You can, it is possible, and one way is to use the portal_workflow tool e.g. from parts/omelette/plone/app/contentrules/tests/test_action_workflow.py:
self.assertEquals('published',
self.portal.portal_workflow.getInfoFor(self.folder.d1, 'review_state'))
More generally, something like:
context.portal_workflow.getInfoFor(context, 'review_state')
in a page template should work. Or use the portal_catalog as Spanky suggests e.g. if "obj" is a catalog "brain" (i.e. part of a result set from a catalog search) then:
obj.review_state
should work.
The portal_catalog also has an index of the workflow's Review State, so if you don't already have the object you're working on (e.g. context ≠ the object) you could use the catalog, look up the object and get the review state from the resulting "brains" object.
Apparently there are ALSO browser view methods available to you as well, and I notice that one of them is workflow_state. See:
http://plone.org/documentation/manual/theme-reference/page/otherinfo
We're using LCDS and the "commitRequiredOn" method in the DataService class to check if there are pending changes for an entity. However, it seems like "commitRequiredOn" does not check the complete graph of an object, but just the object itself. For now, we have implemented a recursive check on the complete object graph, but this seems like functionality that should come out of the box.
Am I missing something here, or is there just no built-in way to recursively check an entity to see if it's dirty or not?
I can confirm that commitRequiredOn is checking only the objects itself. But there is also the property DataService.commitRequired (and this is checking for all the objects managed by the dataservice) - maybe you can use it.
I get the following error in the UDK Frontend when I try to make my project:
C:\UDK\UDK-2010-03\Development\Src\FixIt\Classes\ZInteraction.uc(58) : Error, Accessing a member of GameUISceneClient's within class through a context expression requires explicit 'Outer'
The class ZInteraction extends Interaction.
Line 58 is: GetSceneClient().ConsoleCommand("KEYNAME"#Key);
What is the problem here? I am still investigating and I will update as I find out more.
edit: Tried fixing the line up as class'UIRoot'.static.GetSceneClient().ConsoleCommand("KEYNAME"#Key); - no change.
Found it!
From a forum post, Scripting Changes from UT3:
When accessing a member of a within class' container class, you now have to use the special Outer member variable. This presumably helps deal with name clashes.
I had to change the code to the following:
GetSceneClient().Outer.Outer.ConsoleCommand("KEYNAME"#Key);
Depending on what function is giving you this error, you will need one or more sets of Outer.. You can research to find out how many layers deep you are, or you can just add one at a time until the code compiles. I chose the latter, because it's hard enough already to navigate this UnrealScript. :)
