I am trying to add TICKET_CLOSE as a new permission. I tried what was listed in this thread from the archive (shown at end of this posting) but it does not work for me. The thread said it was a bad idea to "hack" the database with the "INSERT INTO permission" commands and said to use a simple plugin.
------------------------------------------- I stopped our apache2 driver. I added a mypermissions.py into our <track environment>/plugins directory, here is the contents: # mypermissions.py # # Use to add other permissions. # # Using to add a TICKET_CLOSE permission. # # Drop this file in the plugins directory, restart the server, # and the permission(s) should be available. According to # what I have found in the Trac Users group under Google groups. from trac.core import Component, implements from trac.perm import IPermissionRequestor class MyPermissions(Component): implements(IPermissionRequestor) def get_permission_actions(self): # return ('MY_FIRST_PERM', 'MY_SECOND_PERM') return ('TICKET_CLOSE') ------------------------------------- I modified the trac.ini [components] and [ticket-workflow]; here are the diffs: > diff trac.ini trac_TICKET_CLOSE.ini 34a35 > mypermissions.* = enabled 181c182 < close.permissions = TICKET_ADMIN --- > close.permissions = TICKET_CLOSE 186c187 < close_new.permissions = TICKET_ADMIN --- > close_new.permissions = TICKET_CLOSE ----------------------------------------- I restarted apache2 and things did not work. I got an "Oops... " when trying to view an issue that said, "Trac detected an internal error: IndexError: string index out of range" The trac.log file had this added after attempting to view the issue: 2009-02-13 07:23:27,291 Trac[main] ERROR: string index out of range Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/Trac-0.11.2-py2.5.egg/ trac/web/main.py", line 432, in _dispatch_request dispatcher.dispatch(req) File "/usr/local/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/Trac-0.11.2-py2.5.egg/ trac/web/main.py", line 204, in dispatch resp = chosen_handler.process_request(req) File "/usr/local/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/Trac-0.11.2-py2.5.egg/ trac/ticket/web_ui.py", line 181, in process_request return self._process_ticket_request(req) File "/usr/local/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/Trac-0.11.2-py2.5.egg/ trac/ticket/web_ui.py", line 530, in _process_ticket_request get_reporter_id(req, 'author'), field_changes) File "/usr/local/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/Trac-0.11.2-py2.5.egg/ trac/ticket/web_ui.py", line 1168, in _insert_ticket_data fields = self._prepare_fields(req, ticket) File "/usr/local/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/Trac-0.11.2-py2.5.egg/ trac/ticket/web_ui.py", line 1080, in _prepare_fields TicketSystem(self.env).eventually_restrict_owner(field, ticket) File "/usr/local/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/Trac-0.11.2-py2.5.egg/ trac/ticket/api.py", line 320, in eventually_restrict_owner .get_users_with_permission('TICKET_MODIFY'): File "/usr/local/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/Trac-0.11.2-py2.5.egg/ trac/perm.py", line 384, in get_users_with_permission for child in action[1]: IndexError: string index out of range --------------------------------- When I used Trac / Admin / Permission and looked at the permission selections, I saw things like: BROWSER_VIEW C C CHANGESET_VIEW CONFIG_FILE E E EMIAL_VIEW FILE_VIEW I K L LOG_VIEW and it goes on --------------------------------------- I quickly stopped apache2, restored the trac.ini to what it had been, and removed mypermissions.py and .pyc files from the plugin directory and restarted apache2. I do not understand what the mypermissions.py file is doing. What am I missing or doing wrong? Is the mypermissions.py script correct? Is my entry in the script for 'TICKET_CLOSE' correct? Do I need brackets instead of parens since I am only adding one value? Thanks in advance.
