Trac Ticket Queries

In addition to reports, Trac provides support for custom ticket queries, used to display lists of tickets meeting a specified set of criteria.

To configure and execute a custom query, switch to the View Tickets module from the navigation bar, and select the Custom Query link.

Filters

When you first go to the query page the default filters will display all open tickets, or if you're logged in it will display open tickets assigned to you. Current filters can be removed by clicking the button to the right with the minus sign on the label. New filters are added from the pulldown list in the bottom-right corner of the filters box. Filters with either a text box or a pulldown menu of options can be added multiple times to perform an or of the criteria.

You can use the fields just below the filters box to group the results based on a field, or display the full description for each ticket.

Once you've edited your filters click the Update button to refresh your results.

Clicking on one of the query results will take you to that ticket. You can navigate through the results by clicking the Next Ticket or Previous Ticket links just below the main menu bar, or click the Back to Query link to return to the query page.

You can safely edit any of the tickets and continue to navigate through the results using the Next/Previous/Back to Query links after saving your results. When you return to the query any tickets which were edited will be displayed with italicized text. If one of the tickets was edited such that it no longer matches the query criteria the text will also be greyed. Lastly, if a new ticket matching the query criteria has been created, it will be shown in bold.

The query results can be refreshed and cleared of these status indicators by clicking the Update button again.

Saving Queries

While Trac does not yet allow saving a named query and somehow making it available in a navigable list, you can save references to queries in Wiki content, as described below.

You may want to save some queries so that you can come back to them later. You can do this by making a link to the query from any Wiki page.

[query:status=new|assigned|reopened&version=1.0 Active tickets against 1.0]

Which is displayed as:

Active tickets against 1.0

This uses a very simple query language to specify the criteria (see Query Language).

Alternatively, you can copy the query string of a query and paste that into the Wiki link, including the leading ? character:

[query:?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&group=owner Assigned tickets by owner]

Which is displayed as:

Assigned tickets by owner

Using the [[TicketQuery]] Macro

The TicketQuery macro lets you display lists of tickets matching certain criteria anywhere you can use WikiFormatting.

Example:

[[TicketQuery(version=0.6|0.7&resolution=duplicate)]]

This is displayed as:

#181
Wiki preview injects new lines
#204
request for colour legend (or something similar) for ticket groups in reports
#226
Ticket Dependencies
#239
Link to diff of specifik wiki change instead of the page itself
#351
All ticket modifications should be tracked in timeline
#413
Installing on Windows, drive other than C:
#450
Diffviewer should try to convert the text into utf-8.
#475
merging of similar tickets
#519
Python process sometimes hangs on Windows Server 2003
#529
IE 5-6 over HTTPS broken downloads

Just like the query: wiki links, the parameter of this macro expects a query string formatted according to the rules of the simple ticket query language.

A more compact representation without the ticket summaries is also available:

[[TicketQuery(version=0.6|0.7&resolution=duplicate, compact)]]

This is displayed as:

#181, #204, #226, #239, #351, #413, #450, #475, #519, #529

Finally if you wish to receive only the number of defects that match the query using the count parameter.

[[TicketQuery(version=0.6|0.7&resolution=duplicate, count)]]

This is displayed as:

10

Customizing the table format

You can also customize the columns displayed in the table format (format=table) by using col≤field> - you can specify multiple fields and what order they are displayed by placing pipes (|) between the columns like below:

[[TicketQuery(max=3,status=closed,order=id,desc=1,format=table,col=resolution|summary|owner|reporter)]]

This is displayed as:

Results (1 - 3 of 11262)

Full rows

In table format you can also have full rows by using rows≤field> like below:

[[TicketQuery(max=3,status=closed,order=id,desc=1,format=table,col=resolution|summary|owner|reporter,rows=description)]]

This is displayed as:

#13744 fixed [PATCH] SpamFilter: Support pillow 10 for ImageCaptcha Dirk Stöcker niels.reedijk@…
Description

Currently the ImageCaptcha component is not compatible with a modern pillow, due to API changes. This patch makes it compatible with Pillow 10 (tested with 10.2.0) and bumps the minimum required version.

#13742 fixed spamfilter.bayes is missing a dependency Dirk Stöcker bmispelon
Description

Hi,

We recently updated our Trac instance to 1.6 (thanks for the release by the way) and were hit by a spam wave almost immediately after. We're using the TracSpamFilter plugin [1] (https://trac.edgewall.org/browser/plugins/trunk/spam-filter?rev=17752&format=zip is the line in our requirements file) but somehow the bots were still getting around it.

After scratching our heads for a few ours, we finally saw this in the log:

01:30:52 PM Trac[loader] ERROR: Skipping "spamfilter.bayes = tracspamfilter.filters.bayes": ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'filelock'

As far as I could find, the requirement for filelock is not listed anywhere on the plugin page [2] either.

#13704 cantfix Minor error doing a repository resync pbobbenb@…
Description

Hi!

I'm having a minor issue doing a trac-admin repository resync. I'm using Python 3.9.18, SVN 1.14.3 and Trac 1.6 on macOS 10.14.6.

It always stops at revision 1934 (of 2215) with this error message:

sudo trac-admin /Users/trac repository resync "*"

Återsynkroniserar historik för arkivet (default)...

Fatal Python error: none_dealloc: deallocating None
Python runtime state: initialized
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/cmd.py", line 214, in onecmd
    func = getattr(self, 'do_' + cmd)
AttributeError: 'TracAdmin' object has no attribute 'do_repository'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

StopIteration
zsh: abort      sudo trac-admin /Users/trac repository resync "*"

Doing a repository sync, rather than a resync, it continues the sync and finishes, and everything seems to be working just fine. Not sure what the issue might be and I'm not sure when it started since it was a while ago since I did a resync…

Query Language

query: TracLinks and the [[TicketQuery]] macro both use a mini “query language” for specifying query filters. Basically, the filters are separated by ampersands (&). Each filter then consists of the ticket field name, an operator, and one or more values. More than one value are separated by a pipe (|), meaning that the filter matches any of the values. To include a litteral & or | in a value, escape the character with a backslash (\).

The available operators are:

= the field content exactly matches the one of the values
~= the field content contains one or more of the values
^= the field content starts with one of the values
$= the field content ends with one of the values

All of these operators can also be negated:

!= the field content matches none of the values
!~= the field content does not contain any of the values
!^= the field content does not start with any of the values
!$= the field content does not end with any of the values

The date fields created and modified can be constrained by using the = operator and specifying a value containing two dates separated by a semicolon (;). Either end of the date range can be left empty, meaning that the corresponding end of the range is open. The date parser understands a few natural date specifications like "3 weeks ago", "last month" and "now", as well as Bugzilla-style date specifications like "1d", "2w", "3m" or "4y" for 1 day, 2 weeks, 3 months and 4 years, respectively. Spaces in date specifications can be left out to avoid having to quote the query string.

created=2007-01-01;2008-01-01 query tickets created in 2007
created=lastmonth;thismonth query tickets created during the previous month
modified=1weekago; query tickets that have been modified in the last week
modified=;30daysago query tickets that have been inactive for the last 30 days
