trac-admin initenv --inherit: should not generate a ["ticket-workflow"] section

[typo3_community@…]

When using the —inherit option a rudimentary trac.ini will be created, but is trac.ini do still have a "ticket-workflow" section which IS NOT NECESSARY AS A BASELINE SETTING due to the fact that it is defined in the global trac.ini (referenced by the "inherit" section).

Please change behavior of trac-admin initenv -inherit to generate a trac.ini like this:

[inherit]
file = /home/trac_shared/shared_workflow.trac.ini

[project]
name = customer_sandbox

[trac]
repository_dir = /home/svn/repos/customer_sandbox/

(I am using trac 0.11.5)

Right, the check for an existing [ticket-workflow] section seems to be broken in ConfigurableTicketWorkflow.environment_created().

After some testing, I actually cannot reproduce this issue with current 0.11-stable HEAD. I get a minimal trac.ini as you described (with additional database and repository_type entries).

One caveat, though: make sure that you specify an absolute path after --inherit=, otherwise trac-admin will not find the global configuration. It will not print an error message, and the resulting trac.ini will contain a [ticket-workflow] section. Could this have happened to you?

Maybe we should check that the path to the inherited config is absolute, and quit with an error message if this is not the case?

[Remy Blank]

Even better, make the path specified with --inherit= absolute in any case. Fixed in [8703].

Reverted [8703] in [8740], as it changed the current behavior of trac-admin $ENV intenv --inherit=PATH for relative paths.

Instead, the documentation for trac-admin $ENV initenv was improved in [8741] to mention the resolution of relative paths. The documentation could not be improved on 0.11-stable, because it only allows short descriptions in help texts.
