`generator ignored GeneratorExit` in Wiki formatting unit tests

[Christian Boos]

In case someone runs the tests on trunk and wonders from where the generator ignored GeneratorExit exception are coming from:

$ PYTHONPATH=".;$PYTHONPATH" python trac/wiki/tests/formatter.py
.......................................................Exception exceptions.RuntimeError: 'generator ignored GeneratorExit' in <generator object at 0x02C2DAD0> ignored
..Exception exceptions.RuntimeError: 'generator ignored GeneratorExit' in <generator object at 0x02C362D8> ignored
....Exception exceptions.RuntimeError: 'generator ignored GeneratorExit' in generator object at 0x02C36DC8> ignored
..Exception exceptions.RuntimeError: 'generator ignored GeneratorExit' in <generator object at 0x02C372B0> ignored

OK

… so those exceptions are somehow related to the wiki formatting and to Python 2.5 of course, as I don't have those exceptions using 2.4 (on Windows).

It might be due to svn not being available, I'll check.

I got this exception in production use (Trac 0.10.4) running with Tracd or Fastcgi (didn't test under mod_python). With Fastcgi (under lighttpd) it results in lighttpd raising a 500 error (when using tracd you can see the page renders okay). I use all default packages from Ubuntu Gutsy (Python 2.5) and use PostgreSQL as DB backend. It only happens on some wiki pages (TracWiki being one of them).

It does seem like this is the same issue as #5339.

As that ticket progressed quite far in trying to detect the problem (including patch), I'm closing this older ticket as a duplicate.
