Unable to load plugin authz_policy.py

[fermulator@…]

Following: TracFineGrainedPermissions

I cannot get the authz_policy.py plugin to work.

1. Receive error in trac log:

   2008-07-03 23:55:06,569 Trac[loader] DEBUG: Loading file plugin authz_policy from /..(snip)../trac/my_project/plugins/authz_policy.py
   2008-07-03 23:55:06,570 Trac[loader] ERROR: Failed to load plugin from /..(snip)../trac/my_project/plugins/authz_policy.py
     File "/..(snip)../trac/my_project/plugins/authz_policy.py", line 1
   

2. Of course because of this, fine grained permissions do not work.

Where is this .py file supposed to go? And, why isn't it an egg?

You've snipped the actual error off…

It's not an egg because it's a single-file plugin. It goes directly into your environments plugins directory.

Well, "line 1", hm, have you verified it's not an empty file?

omg … thank you. (funny how you can sit for some time trying to debug something and skip right over an important assumption) … it's nice to wake up the next morning and have a fresh brain.

When I wget'd the file, I wget'd:

wget http://trac.edgewall.org/browser/trunk/sample-plugins/permissions/authz_policy.py

instead of:

wget http://trac.edgewall.org/browser/trunk/sample-plugins/permissions/authz_policy.py?format=txt/authz_policy.py

i.e. I ended up downloading an HTML file instead of the RAW authz_policy.py.

Sorry for wasting your time dudes.
