[Glass] Grrrr cannot migrate (class rename with subclasses and with a name of a deleted class)

[James Foster via Glass]

Mariano,

As I understand it, the class you want to remove has no instances and then you want to simply rename another class. I don’t see that migration is required (though we can revisit that). Consider the following:

Object
- FaSecurityClosingPriceRecord (no instances)
- SpecialSuperclass
- - FaSecurityClosingPriceRecord2
- - - FSCPR2a (instances)
- - - FSCPR2b (instances)

| myClass |
UserGlobals removeKey: #'FaSecurityClosingPriceRecord'.
myClass := UserGlobals removeKey: #'FaSecurityClosingPriceRecord2'.
myClass _beVariantWhile: [myClass name: #'FaSecurityClosingPriceRecord'].
UserGlobals at: #'FaSecurityClosingPriceRecord' put: myClass.

This works with a basic GemStone image; I’m not sure what it does to the various Monticello structures, but you can investigate it. Does that do what you want?

And I made a copy of FaSecurityClosingPriceRecord and call it FaSecurityClosingPriceRecord2. So to sum up, I have both classes (being equal) FaSecurityClosingPriceRecord and FaSecurityClosingPriceRecord2 and just that FaSecurityClosingPriceRecord is the one that has the subclasses.
