Reload raised an error because context is nil

[Ducasse]

IceTipStandardAction >> basicExecute

    | result |
     context application
        informUser: self message
        during: [ result := actionBlock cull: self context ].
    successAnnounceBlock 
        ifNotNil: [ Iceberg announcer announce: successAnnounceBlock value ].
    ^ result

The problem is that it is unclear how to reach the current application.

Yes, many users of IceTipStandardAction have this problem. Chasing it down for a bit, it seems many of them have been migrated to a new pattern where the calling IceTipCommand asks for a #newWhateverAction then sends it executeWithContext:, rather than calling a method which makes and immediately evaluates the IceTipStandardAction. See for instance IceTipDeleteBranchCommand>>execute, making use of IceTipBranchModel>>newDeleteAction.

I believe I've managed to chase down all the remaining cases—PR incoming.

I was thinking to first add

application 
  ^ StPharoApplication current 

in the superclass of action. Then later we can pass an application.

[daniels220]

I thought of something like that, but by the time I determined what the right default value for application would even be (StPharoApplication current sounds right, yes), I had discovered that the vast majority of commands were already using the #newXAction + #executeWithContext: pattern. And all the cases I found were easily migrated to that pattern, so no need for a hard-coded default.

Ah then even better. Now since we want to remove the dependencies to UIManager the "UI" should be passed via the Application. This way we will one single point of control.
