I believe this was fixed in [10481] (#8995). Please update the TagsPlugin on your installation.

Yes, disabling the trac tags plugin did work. However, I don't have the same code on that line number. Doesn't really resemble much...

insert = tag.ul(class_='tags')(tag.li(_("Tags"), class_='header'), li)

This is the same in both:

/usr/share/pyshared/tractags/wiki.py

and

/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/tractags/wiki.py

Keywords: error formatting added

If line numbers in error and code don't match, than the only valid conclusion is, that what you see in your code is not what you're actually running.

These are effects of multiple concurrent installs, maybe not intended but effectively nasty anyway. Sorry to say, but only a clean install can save you. There's nothing we could do here, because the reported code is not part of current plugin source, just as Ryan already hinted to you.

OT: Please, please with a cherry on top, get rid of that obsolete AccountManager revision. It causes real pain to see 0.2.1dev still in use, even more in production? Don't do that, if you care only a bit about your system. We're close to 0.4 right now, featuring a well of fixes, improvements and new features like account locking etc.

Replying to anonymous:

Yes, disabling the trac tags plugin did work.

Who suggested you disable the TagsPlugin? It was only suggested that you upgrade to the latest plugin source because the issue reported in your traceback has been resolved.

comment:5 Changed 12 years ago by anonymous

I'm sorry maybe I didn't understand you correctly the first time. Are you suggesting I download the source code for the TagsPlugin and compile it? I'm going off of a fresh install as of today.

comment:6 Changed 12 years ago by Steffen Hoffmann

Yes, and make sure you don't install plugins globally, that is in pythonx.y/site-packages, but in the Trac env directory, or a common plugin folder, that you inherit from multiple env's, see t:wiki:TracIni#inherit-section.

Its reasonable to consider this issue as resolved after more than 6 months after 'will try' comment and no more complaints, right?

So I'll mark this accordingly on release time of tags-0.7. Explicit positive feedback would still be appreciated.

comment:8 Changed 10 years ago by Ryan J Ollos

I think this could simply be re-closed as a duplicate of #8995. #8995 could be re-opened if you plan to keep tickets open until the 0.7 release.

comment:9 Changed 10 years ago by Steffen Hoffmann

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

Thanks for the hint on #8995. I wouldn't have reminded that one immediately. But since we already tracked that ticket in the change log, none of these tickets needs to be kept open any longer.

In 13815:

TagsPlugin: Completing preparation for v0.7 release.

Availability of that code as stable, tagged release
closes #2429, #3359, #3610, #3624, #3677, #3754, #3864, #3947, #3983, #4078, #4277, #4503, #4799, #5523, #7787, #7857, #8638, #9057, #9058, #9059, #9060, #9061, #9062, #9063, #9149, #9210, #9521, #9630, #9636, #10032, #10416, #10636, #11096, #11147, #11152, #11274, #11302, #11658 and #11659.

Additionally there are some issues and enhancement requests showing progress,
but known to require more work to resolve them satisfactorily, specifically
refs #2804, #4200, #8747 and #9064.

Thanks to all contributors and followers, that enabled and encouraged a good
portion of this development work.
