What is expected behavior: when ticket-workflow is missing, Trac will prompt you to upgrade the environment, which then restores the default ticket-workflow section. Trac normally changes trac.ini when an update is applied from the Admin pages, and that update needs to be stored in trac.ini rather than the database. Otherwise, Trac won't modify trac.ini. As Olemis said, plugins have access to trac.ini, so a plugin could inadvertently do something bad. I would first suspect a plugin is removing your [ticket-workflow] section, but nothing you have installed looks too suspicious. - Ryan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.

Okay, I see. But shouldn't the current on-disk state of trac.ini be preserved then, for all sections not affected? I.e. is the loss of [ticket-workflow] on overwrite a bug or a feature? :-) Kind regards, Florian Berger -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.

[Trac] When and why does trac itself change trac.ini?
Hi, are there occasions where trac rewrites / resets trac.ini on its own? During normal operation, I sometimes get the error "The environment needs to be upgraded." However I found that this, apparently, is due to trac resetting trac.ini, with e.g. the [ticket-workflow] section gone missing, as a diff shows. Restoring trac.ini to a recent backup makes the "upgrade" notice disappear, and operations resume as before. But I'd rather prefer trac not messing with trac.ini unless instructed to do so. -trac 1.0.9 -TracAccountManager 0.4.2 -TracSubTicketsPlugin 0.2.0.dev20160107 Any hints how to fix this will be appreciated.
