changeset hook for wiki pages

[team@…]

I configured a changeset post-commit hook from SVN to Trac, and now every time I add a new changeset to SVN with a properly formatted comment, Trac automatically adds a message to the corresponding ticket. Would be nice to have the same functionality for wiki pages. When I make a change to some wiki page, and format comment properly, Trac ticket gets a message, automatically. Thanks.

That's a nice idea, and all the infrastructure is already there to make this happen in a plugin. Look for the IWikiChangeListener in trac/wiki/api.py​.

However, I don't think this functionality is useful to enough people to be included in core.

Thanks for comment, will try to implement it with a custom plugin.

However, the question is - why SVN+Trac hook is useful (it's in core now), and Wiki+Trac is not useful? What is the key difference between them?

The key difference is that in the past 5 years or so, I've seen a lot of people ask for the first one and be happy with the contrib/trac-post-commit-hook (and we hope to keep them happy with the newer style tracopt.ticket.commit_updater), but here it's the first time someone requests the ability to be able to do the same from a Wiki page…

Not necessarily a bad idea, but a less common requirement for sure ;-)

That being said, I wonder if we couldn't have this ticket commit updater react on the future directly to IResourceChangeListener notifications (#8834), and hence could simply be configured to react also on wiki changes.

I see little difference between a source code in SVN and a documentation/specification page in Wiki. They both have version control and their changes are related to Trac tickets… On the other hand, 5 years experience really proves something :)

Anyway, thanks for adding this feature to your future plans.
