Tonel format in GemStone

Hello

I'm not 100% sure because I have very few experience with SmalltalkCI, but It seems SmalltalkCI doesn't support tonel formal when loading a project into GemStone

The workflow fails because it's trying to use filetree to load my tonel project (it fails in Gemstone but not in Pharo)

The logic seems to be hard coded for GemStone:
https://github.com/hpi-swa/smalltalkCI/blob/master/repository/SmalltalkCI-GemStone-Core.package/SCIGemStoneMetacelloLoadSpec.class/instance/repositorySchemeIn..st

For comparison, Pharo:
https://github.com/hpi-swa/smalltalkCI/blob/master/repository/SmalltalkCI-Pharo-Core.package/SCIPharoMetacelloLoadSpec.class/instance/repositorySchemeIn..st

Is it possible to implement the GemStone logic the same way it's implemented for Pharo? or is there some limitation in GemStone?

Hi @sonibla! If gemstone already has a way to read tonel repositories, you could try if the same code that squeak uses would work for you: https://github.com/hpi-swa/smalltalkCI/blob/master/repository/SmalltalkCI-Squeak-Core.package/SCISqueakMetacelloLoadSpec.class/instance/repositorySchemeIn..st

GemStone does not support tonel format repositories ... we are planning to support tonel in the future ...
