trac-post-commit-hook doen't work (nor error message)

[Andy andy@…]

Hello there.

I just updated my Ubuntu machine from Edgy Eft to Feisty Fawn what updated Python from 2.4 to 2.5. Now I have troubles with the hooks.

With Python2.5 the post-commit-hook subversion returns the following error: {{ MERGE von '/svn/xyz': 200 OK (​https://example.com) }}

Using Python2.4, subversion doesn't return an error, but the referenced ticket is untouched.

When calling the trac-post-commit-hook manually, there is no error at all, no matter if using python2.4 or 2.5

I have a similar problem. When I call the post-commit-hook manually (from teh command line) it works fine, but when a simple commit occurs nothing happens. What could be the reason for this?

The svn hooks are run without any environment variable set, in contrast with running them from the command-line. That's a frequent cause of problems.

Keeping open for 0.12, so that we can eventually improve the documentation for those scripts.

I had the same problem (doen't work (nor error message)) with 0.10 when trying to test on the command line.

Found my problem

Version 0.10 and up (maybe before that too) has deprecate all options except the -p and -r. If you use the other options, they are ignored.

So you have to test on the command line with a revision number which exist and has the correct log.

The new hook (for now in source:sandbox/multirepos/contrib/trac-svn-hook) is better documented and warns against such issues.

Still have the trac-svn-hook.cmd to finish, but that's tracked in #6370.
