added file missing from changeset

[mark@…]

Recently I've commited a (new) file called .htaccess and opened the changeset-viewer to review my changes.

Everything was listed fine, but trac did not list the file starting with the dot.

Yes, it has been commited properly and is shown by other tools - except trac.

Although files starting with dots are regarded as hidden under *nix it should IMHO be visible in versioning systems.

Trac does not filter files starting with dots, and I just tested adding a .htaccess file to a repository here which works fine. You're going to need to provide some more information in order to determine why this is occurring.

Okay, here is the case:

Please see ​http://www.openmaillist.org/changeset/26 for the changeset:

Files:
        * trunk/bin (added)
        * trunk/bin/piper.php (moved) (moved from trunk/testdata/piper.php)
        * trunk/bin/piper.pl (moved) (moved from trunk/testdata/piper.pl)
        * trunk/bin/piper.py (moved) (moved from trunk/testdata/piper.py)
        * trunk/testdata/piper.php

Then, for comparison, run this:

# svn -v -r 26 log http://svn.hurrikane.de/all/openmaillist/trunk

You will notice that trunk/bin/.htaccess is missing:

Ok, I'll investigate this further. I've changed the subject because I think that the fact that the file started with a dot was just a coincidence and is not the reason it wasn't displayed.

[mark@…]

I agree with you.

Please try this inverstigating this issue:

1. Create a directory by svn mkdir xy.
2. Create a new file and add it to that directory: svn add xy/myfile.txt.
3. Commit and check whether everything is displayed properly.

I tried to reproduce the issue by mirroring your repository (using svk), but for me, it worked fined.

Here's the Trac[cache] DEBUG output when doing a resync:

 ...
 [27]: ('upstream/trunk/bin', 'dir', 'add', None, -1)
 [27]: ('upstream/trunk/bin/.htaccess', 'file', 'add', None, -1)
 [27]: ('upstream/trunk/bin/piper.php', 'file', 'move', 'upstream/trunk/testdata/piper.php', 26)
 [27]: ('upstream/trunk/bin/piper.pl', 'file', 'move', 'upstream/trunk/testdata/piper.pl', 23)
 [27]: ('upstream/trunk/testdata/piper.py', 'file', 'delete', 'upstream/trunk/testdata/piper.py', 26)

(the prefix of upstream and the changeset offset of +1 are due to the mirroring).

… and the changeset is then displayed correctly by Trac.

Now, by looking at your repository (​http://svn.hurrikane.de/all/openmaillist/trunk), I see it's served by Subversion 1.3.0rc4. Which version of the python bindings for SVN are you using?

Another possibility is that you've setup an authz file which doesn't give you the read permission for the file which is "missing" (rightfully, if this would be the case).

[mark@…]

I've upgraded to SVN 1.3 after the error has appeared. The relevant version of SVN is 1.2.3.

The authz-file does not set any permissions below trunk, therefore I can exclude that.

Bindings come from SWIG 1.3.21.

Same here. I have encountered that issue with subversion 1.2.0 and trac 0.9.0, too.

[Christian Boos]

Sorry, but "same here" comments aren't going to help make any progress on this topic. What we need is a way to reproduce the problem, like a small dump of a repository which exhibits the issue…

As I said above, when I tried to reproduce the issue with a mirror of the initial reporter's repository, I couldn't reproduce the problem, which makes me believe that it's an authz issue, because of that line: source:trunk/trac/versioncontrol/svn_fs.py@2636#L471​.

To mark@…: can you please instrument your code and do a resync once again?

After having SVN downgraded to 1.2.3…

1. I've added the two lines listed above, removed any svn_fs.pyc and restarted apache.
2. Then, I've done a trac-admin /path/to/openmaillist resync - no errors appeared (neither XXX nor YYY).
3. After this, the changeset viewer still did not show the file.

Strange.

the SVN dump from r0:36

[Christian Boos]

I just noticed that now it worksforyou :) (​http://www.openmaillist.org/changeset/26) It also worked for me using the attachment:dmp.svn.bz2​, as it did for the svk mirror. I'd be interested to know what you had to do in the end to make it work…

[mark@…]

I've downgraded:

• subversion to 1.2.3-r2 (was 1.2.3-r3, 1.3.0-rcX; didn't work with <1.2.3-r1 as well)

… and recompiled SWIG to be on the safe side.

But beware: subversion 1.3.0 has serious bugs with SWIG.

Anyway, my apologies and thanks for your effords!

[Christian Boos]

Thanks for the feedback.

As I now have 1.3.0 (final, on Windows), I tried again with this repository and your changeset [26] appears correctly. However, it's true that the bindings are sensitive to the SWIG version used (only 1.3.24 or 1.3.25 should be used).
