TracMercurial: Comparing two revisions appears to be unimplemented

[anonymous]

With Trac 10.4 (installed on a Fedora 8 system via yum) and the TracMercurial plugin taken from the repository head, trying to compare two revisions in the revision log using "View Changes" results in an error:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/trac/web/main.py", line 406, in dispatch_request
      dispatcher.dispatch(req)

  !NotImplementedError

What's puzzling about this is that Repository.get_changes​ is not overridden in the Mercurial plugin, so it appears this functionality could never have worked at all. But I assume that's not true or the diffs on the TracMercurial page couldn't have been produced. Any clues?

This is not implemented for source:sandbox/mercurial-plugin, but it is for source:sandbox/mercurial-plugin-0.11, i.e. the version of the plugin adapted to 0.11. It should be possible to backport the changes, so if you feel like contributing a patch for that, please do.

Btw, the Repository.get_changes() method is only used for comparing two arbitrary paths and/or revs, not for replaying the changes for a given changeset, which is a special case.

patch to make diff'ing work for trac 0.10.4

[edgimar]

patch attached - please commit it. Thanks.

Ok, I take your word that this backport will work for 0.10.x, but I won't test it or support it myself.

Patch applied in r7355, thanks!

I however restored the def sync(): pass method that you removed, as I think it can still be needed (Trac 0.10.3 IIRC).
