Version: 0.12

Is your egg-cache location writable?

BTW, you don't need TracTicketDelete anymore, just enable tracopt.ticket.deleter.*.

comment:2 by bountin@…, 14 years ago

Cc: bountin@… added

comment:3 by easteregg@…, 14 years ago

yes, is writeable but still the same problem if i install babel :(

comment:4 by Christian Boos, 14 years ago

How did you install Trac? From which archive? Are you sure you have the trac/locale folder installed?

comment:5 by bountin@…, 14 years ago

How do you install the trac/locale folder? TracInstall is not up-to-date for l10n.

comment:6 by cmjacobs@…, 14 years ago

I had the same issue. I did my upgrade using easy_install. It worked until I installed babel. If I remove the Babel egg directory from my python site-packages, everything works fine.

comment:7 by Remy Blank, 14 years ago

Owner: set to Remy Blank

Ah, interesting. So installing Trac without Babel will not install the locales, and after installing Babel, Trac will look for the locales and die. We should probably make activate() (even) more robust, or alternatively, make sure trac/locale always exists.

Thanks for the additional info!

comment:8 by ton.rademaker@…, 14 years ago

Very similar case I think:

In my case I removed babel egg a few times and reinstalled, but it still dosn't work

Oops… Trac detected an internal error: KeyError: 'trac/locale'

This is probably a local installation issue.

Before you do that, though, please first try searching for similar issues, as it is quite likely that this problem has been reported before. For questions about installation and configuration of Trac or its plugins, please try the mailing list instead of creating a ticket.

Otherwise, please ==== How to Reproduce ====

While doing a GET operation on /login, Trac issued an internal error.

You should re-install Trac after installing Babel.

comment:10 by Christian Boos, 14 years ago

Remy, I see you've grabbed the ticket. Do you have a plan already?

If not, I'd like to try the approach of early instantiation of Locale objects, which would not only catch the fact they're not present at startup time and enable us to cope with the failure, but in addition would avoid:

  • costly instantiation of Locale, for each request
  • limit concurrent first time extraction issues (#9107 take 2)

If this is fixed, together with the numerous translations updates we received lately, this could warrant an early 0.12.1 release….

comment:11 by Remy Blank, 14 years ago

No, I didn't have a precise plan other than to analyze the issue, so feel free to beat me to it.

About 0.12.1, let's create the 0.12-stable branch and try to get a few patches from 0.12.1 in as well.

I did that, but no success yet, I can't afford removing and reinstalling trac, since I am not fluent enough in this to risk loosing my darabase of tickets…

comment:13 by Christian Boos, 14 years ago

Re-installing from source will work for sure (grab the .tar.gz or .zip from TracDownload, go in the Trac-0.12/ folder and do python setup.py install).

I'll test with easy_install, but I'm pretty sure you need to specify easy_install -U Trac to get it to work in this situation.

in reply to:  13 ; comment:14 by Christian Boos, 14 years ago

… you need to specify easy_install -U Trac to get it to work in this situation.

Actually that's not enough, as the version didn't change the package won't be rebuilt.

So you really need to "uninstall" Trac first, which should be pretty trivial anyway: find the "Trac-0.12…egg" file in your Python installation (usually below a site-packages folder, e.g. lib/python2.7/site-packages/Trac-0.12-py2.7.egg), and delete it.

Early loading also requires some additional means in order to allow one to replace existing locales by newer revisions without having to restart the server all over again. So the locale manager or whatever is repsonsible for loading the resources should also take into account changes to the locale files and reload them whenever necessary.

I don't remember what I meant there with "cope with the failure". Showing an explicit error message and exit? I don't think we can trigger a "re-install" (not to mention a deploy, for the js/messages).

comment:24 by Remy Blank, 14 years ago

The simple fix committed in [10134] fixes the original issue, and allows running from a locale-less egg on a machine with Babel installed. It's still necessary to install Babel before Trac if translations should be available, but there's not much we can do about that.

Christian, would you like to keep this ticket open for your experiments in "early instantiation", or should we close it?

comment:25 by Christian Boos, 14 years ago

I fear that failing silently is going to be worse than having the exception, as we are going to get a lot of "I installed Babel but can't get Trac in my language, got no error, and there's nothing in the log…".

We could pass env.log through make_activable and activate, and warn there (it's the easiest thing to do, since we do delayed activation).

For the early activation, I'll make a note in TracDev/ToDo.

Not really. At least the installation works, and the next question would be "Does your Trac egg contain files in trac/locale?".

We could pass env.log through make_activable and activate, and warn there (it's the easiest thing to do, since we do delayed activation).

That's what I wanted to do, but the absence of logger made me drop the idea. It's still a good idea, so I'll implement it.

comment:27 by Remy Blank, 14 years ago

#9647 was closed as a duplicate, and has a different exception thrown at a different location. So I'll need to work on it some more (probably catching Exception in both locations where we resolve trac.locale).

by Remy Blank, 14 years ago

Log activation errors.

comment:28 by Remy Blank, 14 years ago

9439-log-activate-r10144.patch logs errors during listing of locales and activation… and is quite ugly. I'm not sure this is the right approach.

How about logging unconditionally in get_available_locales() when no locales are found, and just dropping the exception in activate()? This should be enough to diagnose any issues.

by Remy Blank, 14 years ago

Log missing locale data.

comment:29 by Remy Blank, 14 years ago

9439-log-missing-r10145.patch is quite a bit simpler, and only logs when no locales are found, assuming this means that locale data is missing. My preference goes to this one.

Thoughts?

comment:30 by Remy Blank, 14 years ago

So, any preference?

comment:31 by Christian Boos, 14 years ago

The second eventually, but I still have the impression we could come with something easier, let me have a try.

by Christian Boos, 14 years ago

Attachment: 9493-has_babel-False.patch added

add an explicit warning in the log and in the About page when Babel was installed after Trac and no catalogs are available. Applies on r10152.

comment:32 by Christian Boos, 14 years ago

Please try out attachment:9493-has_babel-False.patch. It's less intrusive on the translation API, and goes in the direction of early pre-loading of the catalogs (though that will not happen on 0.12-stable, the way I see it now).

comment:33 by Remy Blank, 14 years ago

Haven't tested the patch yet, but all good ideas, and nice visibility in the system info. We should probably leave the translation marker out permanently, as the text will end up in the semi-automatic bug reports. Or how about adding the comment to the "Language" preference panel instead? That's certainly one location that wouldn't be overlooked. Or even both: a longer explanation on the "Language" panel, and a short marker in the system info for us to see in the bug reports.

I would catch Exception instead of (KeyError, WindowsError) though, as we don't really know what kinds of exceptions resource_listdir() will throw (the KeyError happened in resource_filename() and not in resource_listdir(), which raised an OSError (and WindowsError doesn't exist on non-Windows platforms (except in our trac.util))).

(OT: You know you have been programming too much when you start nesting parentheses in plain English :)

Not only that, but I just realized that by definition this one will never be shown translated…

Ok, but for 0.12.2 only because of the string freeze. See no-Babel-prefs-language.patch.

Right, see updated 9493-has_babel-False.2.patch. I'd like commit that before the rc1 this evening, so it would be nice if it gets some real testing before (worksforme so far).

(OT: You know you have been programming too much when you start nesting parentheses in plain English :)

Heh. I don't know how effective it is, but since a while I do a rewrite pass on all my texts in order to remove the parentheses… (though I never reached 3 levels of nesting (as far as I remember)) ;-)

comment:35 by Remy Blank, 14 years ago

Doing the check once at module load time is prone to repeat a symptom similar as #9107, except now certain processes would have translations activated, and others wouldn't.

I was thinking something simpler (see 9439-notify-missing-r1052.patch), with a different message for TRAC_ADMIN and for normal users. It should also be reasonably robust against transient failures, like bad permissions on the egg cache, and not require a server restart after fixing the issue.

No, an ExtractionError would still have left has_babel to True and the delayed activation would still have worked, so I think there was no regression on #9107.

That's nevertheless better. But you shouldn't commit the prefs_language.html part as we promised a string freeze ;-)

Patch applied in [10154], except for prefs_language.html.

Replying to cboos:

You mean, an add_warning() on the "About Trac" page? Or log a warning every time we retrieve the system info?

comment:40 by Christian Boos, 14 years ago

I meant a self.log.warning(), as I did in my patch.

But I was still thinking that this would only happen once in the Component.__init__, now we have ISystemInfoProvider.get_system_info() so this would happen everytime that method is invoked. That's still not that often, so I think this wouldn't pollute the log too much and would be occasionally useful, for the admins who have the reflex to look in there when troubleshooting.

Follow-up in r10253 so that our translators don't take the pain to translate those messages (it's enough that I did it myself!), and more importantly #G408 for a better longer term solution.
