trac segfaults if templates_dir doesn't exist

[jouvin@…]

If templates_dir (as defined in trac.ini) doesn't exist, trac segfaults instead of giving an error message stating the problem. This can be a problem particularly if you run Trac inside mod_python as this means Apache segfaults.

This problem exists in 0.9.x and in 0.10dev.

I've tried mod_python, FastCGI and CGI and all give the same error message:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "csparse.c", line 293, in cs_parse_file()
  File "neo_hdf.c", line 1896, in hdf_search_path()
NotFoundError: Path wiki.cs not found

What version of Clearsilver are you using? It's quite difficult for Python code to cause a segfault, so it's probably coming from a C extension and Clearsilver seems like the most likely culprit.

Still using CS 0.10.1. In fact I am using FastCGI and this is the FastCGI process that segfaults. But if the retry rate is too high, the fcgi is not restarted.

Closing this ticket because, as Matt mentions, this isn't really a bug in Trac.

Feel free to reopen it if you really think it is.
