trac.ini file that initenv creates is crashing new projects

[a.kutz@…]

New projects that get created have this at the top of their trac.ini file:

[account-manager]
authentication_url = None
generated_password_length = 8
htdigest_realm = None
password_file = None
password_format = None
password_store = None

Except this is overriding the global account-manager settings in /usr/share/trac/conf.ini:

[account-manager]
password_store = HttpAuthStore
authentication_url = https://localhost/login

I need to know how to change the default trac.ini that gets created by the initenv function. I followed the scripts far enough to know that the values are getting pulled from a database. Is there a way to edit that db?

I have temporarily fixed this by editing my trac project creation scripts to delete the account manager section from the new trac.ini files, but it is crude, and I would like something a tad more elegant.

When I do not delete the local account manager section, I get this error:

Thanks!

Please report plugin issues to the maintainer of the plugin. See ​th:wiki:AccountManagerPlugin

I agree that I should, and I will. However, I also want to know how to determine how and what gets put into the trac.ini files that initenv creates.

[Noah Kantrowitz]

It uses the default specified in the Option (or any of its subclasseses) descriptors used in any loaded plugin.

Sure, this is why I did not close the ticket as wontfix, as the question is a more general one.

The default values are usually hardcoded in *Option(...) lines in Trac source code or plugin source code. See ​th:browser:accountmanagerplugin/0.10/acct_mgr/api.py#L83

Do not forget to specify which version of Trac you use when reporting an issue, as the actual implementation may vary depending on the version.

So what's the actual improvement we could make on this subject?

[Jeffrey Hulten <jeffh@…>]

So the default trac.ini is created programmatically based on the core and plugin code in use. Is that correct?

If that is the case then I think this issue is resolved (being an information issue) and can be closed.

Agreed.
