[Glass] Very weird compilation errors!

[Dale K. Henrichs]

Okay, 

I'm going to guess that your package has been infected with a WideString Ii.e., you've got some Unicode strings embedded in a comment or your source) ... This is a fundamental problem with Monticello ... 

Of course, if you have stored you packages into FileTree from Pharo, then all of the source should be in Utf8 on disk and that will eliminate the WideString from suspicion... 

Looking at wierd3, It strikes me that the errorString is complaining about 45 characters worth of illegal characters and the bulk of the illegal characters look to be embedded in the whitespace between `enclosingTag` and `^ OFXConstants buyDebt` do I'd like to see the character values of the whitespace ...

| Subject: [Glass] Very weird compilation errors!

| Hi guys,

| I am loading yet another one of my packages in Glass and I am having
| a weird compilation error. To avoid any side effect, I started with
| a clean backup with just Metacello and GLASS.

| To start with....it shows lots of requires classes, which are not
| true!!! those classes are from the package I want to load itself and
| also, they are NOT being referenced from any place yet.

| I attach screenshots of each step..

| OK... I proceed anyway...

| Second... I get a popup saying: 'The following definitions had errors
| while loading. Press Proceed to try to load them again (they may
| work on a second pass):
| OFXBuyDebt class>>enclosingTag
| OFXMarginInterest>>currency:
| OFXRetOfCap>>subAcctFund
| OFXInvestmentAccount class>>xmlMappings
| OFXConstants class>>tferAction
| '

| What do they method have strange? no idea... OK, I continue...

| Third problem, it barks about compilation errors which are quite
| weird... The SOURCE to compile looks ok (although it has some white
| space AFTER the quote!), but the errorString shows something very
| weird...

| There is definitively something wrong. What does this package has in
| particular?
| - Sometimes (for example, once), the package could load successfully.
| So I think it might depend on the order methods or classes or
| something gets loaded/compiled?
| - I loaded it from Monticello with a directory-based repo, committed
| from Pharo (I already loaded this way other packages and no problem)
| - It has lots of methods with literal arrays like this:

| xmlMappings
| ^ {
| {#invAcctFrom . #invAccountFrom. nil }.
| {#inveIncTran. {
| {#inveDtStart . #start. #datetime. }.
| {#inveDtEnd . #end. #datetime. }.
| {#include . #includeTransactions. #boolean. }.
| } }.
| {#inveIncludeOpenOrders. #includeOpenOrders. #boolean. }.
| {#inveIncPos . {
| {#inveDateAsOf . #positionsAsFor. #datetime. }.
| {#include . #includePositions. #boolean. }.
| } }.
| {#inveIncBal . #includeBalances. #boolean. }.
| }

| Thoughts?

| Thanks in advance,
