Attachment not uploading to Trac

[Rocky]

Dear Sir/Madam, I have installed a fresh instance of trac and everything works great except for attaching a file. In the logfile all it says is 1276 or any other random # and unreachable objects found. I have gone through message boards and tried to use Python 2.5 instead of 2.6 but still no avail. Please let me know if this is a legitimate bug and can be fixed….

Thanks Rocky

This sounds like an InstallationIssue. Make sure you are using 0.11.5 with Python 2.6. You will get more help on the MailingList or on the IrcChannel.

This is actually an issue on ubuntu using the package trac 0.11.1-2.1.

The errors lies within the template attachment.html of the original ubuntu 0.11.1-2.1 trac distribution. it features a hidden action value="new" field.

Additionally, in the get section of the request, there is also an action=new parameter, leading to the action parameter being interpreted as a list rather than a single value by the wsgi implementation of trac.

In fact, the value of that action parameter list is [ u'new', u'new' ].

This will always cause the AttachmentModule request handler to render the attachments list rather than processing the POST request, and, subsequently _do_save() the attachment.

This is nothing trac can fix.

Since 0.11.4 the issue with Python 2.6 is fixed in trac (#7876). This is ​bug 369792 in launchpad but Ubuntu's maintainers are very slow in updating the package. Until today, the version shipped for Jaunty does not contain the fix.

Please bug the Ubuntu maintainers to update the trac package for Ubuntu Jaunty as well.

Correct, please upgrade. Closing again.
