Trac-Admin: No documentation found for 'update'

[jonathan@…]

Could this message be changed to:

No documentation found for 'update' - maybe you meant 'upgrade'?

I'm new with Trac, and I am so used to typing update that I typed it and got the error message; the first few times, I thought something was broken in my install and I wasted some time trying to fix it before I realized I meant upgrade.

[Remy Blank]

I'm split between simply adding "update" as a synonym of "upgrade", because it's dead simple to do, and suggesting that if you are the administrator of a Trac instance, you should at least read a bit of documentation and know about trac-admin $ENV help.

What do others think?

I tend to prefer the reporters suggestion.

What about [7ad55cae/cboos.git]?

[ticket10783/unknown-command] $ PYTHONPATH=. python trac/admin/console.py ../../envs/cblaptop-trac/ update
Error: Command not found

No documentation found for 'update'. Use 'help' to see the list of commands.

[Ryan J Ollos <ryan.j.ollos@…>]

Yeah, that seems like a nice general solution.

In repos:jomae.git:ticket10783/suggest-command, trac-admin suggests the similar commands using Levenshtein distance when such a situation. Thoughts?

Type:  '?' or 'help' for help on commands.

Trac [/home/jun66j5/var/trac/0.12-stable]> update
Error: Command not found

No documentation found for 'update'. Use 'help' to see the list of commands.

Did you mean one of these?
    upgrade
Trac [/home/jun66j5/var/trac/0.12-stable]> blah
Error: Command not found

No documentation found for 'blah'. Use 'help' to see the list of commands.

[Christian Boos]

Excellent :-)

I would just also add unconditionally the commands which start with the given input, so that the suggestion for perm would be permission, for example. Another minor glitch is that any one letter input prompts "wiki" as the suggestion (1 delete, 4 adds).

[Jun Omae]

Thanks for the comments. Tweaked scoring for the suggestions in [cb587094/jomae.git].

[Remy Blank]

Ok, that's a bit on the over-engineering side for me, but I don't mind :)

[Christian Boos]

Well, I guess git raised our expectations, for Jun and me ;-)

[Remy Blank]

I have difficulty imagining how this could have happened. Oh well…

[Christian Boos]

[trunk $] $ git sttis
git: 'sttis' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
