Upgrade reported as failed if trac.ini.sample is not writable

OSError is handled when writing sample configuration file on Environment upgrade.

Description

Upgrade reported as failed if trac.ini.sample is not writable:

$ trac-admin /var/trac/trac upgrade

The upgrade failed. Please fix the issue and try again.

OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/trac/trac/conf/trac.ini.sample'

However, since trac.ini.sample is updated after the database upgrade, the database upgrade has succeeded and executing upgrade again reports that upgrade isn't needed. This might be confusing to the user.

Better behavior would be to update the trac.ini.sample before the upgrade so that the database isn't upgraded in the event of failure updating trac.ini.sample.

I've only tested with trunk so far. At least on trunk, the following change seems to be good:

  • trac/env.py

    diff --git a/trac/env.py b/trac/env.py
    index b7dae8351..cc24b6577 100644
    a b class Environment(Component, ComponentManager):  
    770770            except Exception as e:
    771771                raise BackupError(e)
    772772
     773        self._update_sample_config()
     774
    773775        for participant in upgraders:
    774776            self.log.info("upgrading %s...", participant)
    775777            with self.component_guard(participant, reraise=True):
    class Environment(Component, ComponentManager):  
    779781            if dbm.connection_uri != 'sqlite::memory:':
    780782                dbm.shutdown()
    781783
    782         self._update_sample_config()
    783784        del self.database_version
    784785        return True

I'm trying to reproduce it with non-writable $ENV/conf/trac.ini.sample file or $ENV/conf directory but cannot reproduce….

Anyway, IOError is trapped when writing the sample file but OSError is not trapped at source:/tags/trac-1.2.2/trac/env.py@:894#L882. I consider we should trap EnvironmentError rather than IOError.

         try:
             config.save()
             self.log.info("Wrote sample configuration file with the new "
                           "settings and their default values: %s",
                           filename)
-        except IOError as e:
+        except EnvironmentError as e:
             self.log.warn("Couldn't write sample configuration file (%s)", e,
                           exc_info=True)

Did you try using trunk? I can reproduce on Linux and OSX running db45.py upgrade step.

Okay. Reproduced it when upgrading 1.0.15 to 1.2.2 with different user id with owner of trac.ini.sample.

The upgrade failed. Please fix the issue and try again.

Trapping EnvironmentError seems like the right solution. Committed to 1.0-stable in r16437, merged in r16438, r16439.
