Enscript Fails on Win XP

[centgraf@…]

The Enscript syntax-highlighter appears to be failing on my WinXP install of Trac 0.7.1. This is the error log when attempting to view a Java file in the Browser:

6:44:25 PM Trac[file] DEBUG: Displaying file: Test.java mime-type: text/x-java

6:44:25 PM Trac[enscript] DEBUG: type: text/x-java enscript-suffix: java

6:44:25 PM Trac[mimeview] WARNING: Display failed: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'c:
program files
apache group
apache2
cgi-bin
tmpw1ownv'

6:44:25 PM Trac[default] DEBUG: Mimetype: text/x-java filename: Test.java

6:44:25 PM Trac[default] DEBUG: Using default mimeviewer

Each attempt to view a file that should be handled with enscript also produces a stranded file in my cgi-bin directory called "tmpXXXXXX", containing the original (unhighlighted) source text. There is no corresponding tmp file containing the HTML version of the file. Since I can use enscript manually via Command Prompt using parameters stolen from enscript.py, I assume that there is a problem with the "NaivePopen" call used to run enscript via Python. Note also that highlighting via SilverCity works like a charm. (I've tested with XML files.)

Versions in use:

Trac 0.7.1

GNU Enscript 1.6.3

SilverCity 0.9.5

Python 2.3.4

svn 1.1.0

Apache 2.0.50

Windows XP SP1

P.S. I've marked this as "major", since the bug leaks files into the cgi-bin dir, which may be a security hazard.

Need to investigate this.

Enscript seems to work for me on Windows XP and 2000. Since there's been no activity to indicate that this is still a problem I'm going to close it.

OK, I'm reopening this since I get the same problem, and I'm updating the info (I'm getting this in 8.4) and I'm also noting that Apache gives me the following error:

[Mon Aug 22 16:10:09 2005] [error] [client 192.168.0.85] files
easyphp1-8
cgi-bin
tmppoztep \x82tait inattendu.\n

I think this might be a case of spaces in the filename.

Another thing to note: the logs from trac give the following:

16:39:37 Trac[file] DEBUG: Path links: ['ITPDA', 'trunc', 'client', 'install', 'src', 'main', 'Main.java']
16:39:37 Trac[file] DEBUG: Displaying file: Main.java  mime-type: text/x-java
16:39:37 Trac[enscript] DEBUG: type: text/x-java enscript-suffix: java
16:39:37 Trac[mimeview] WARNING: Display failed: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'c:\\program files\\easyphp1-8\\cgi-bin\\tmpqs4uzs'
16:39:37 Trac[default] DEBUG: Mimetype: text/x-java   filename: Main.java
16:39:37 Trac[default] DEBUG: Using default mimeviewer

Yet the file created in cgi-bin is called tmpcwhr5c

I think this might be a case of spaces in the filename.

This can be solved by enclosing the path to enscript in double quotes, see #1573.
