Folks, I've split this out from previous thread (http://groups.google.com/group/trac-users/browse_thread/thread/f836f93b 25b8b275) as a more specific question:
Why should changing the workflow in 0.11.7 require an environment upgrade? Background from the other thread: each env inherits a shared conf that then inherits a shared workflow file (using 'file = xxx' in the [inherit] section). I am investigating why the workflow is not working in any env when I broke all my trac sites producing: <project-name>: Error (The Trac Environment needs to be upgraded. Run "trac-admin <project-path> upgrade") ...and the trac.log error: 2011-01-13 10:23:10,038 Trac[env] WARNING: Component <trac.ticket.default_workflow.ConfigurableTicketWorkflow object at 0x02B7AD50> requires environment upgrade AFAIK the workflow is self-contained I the ini file and should not affect the environment or database? I appreciate any insight you can offer, ~ mark c P.S. I will upgrade to 0.12, as soon as I have time to validate it, promise...
