TracForge uses os.fork which do not exists on Windows

[Leandro Conde]

I've managed to setup this plugin and to configure ir, but, when I try to create one subproject, it fails with this Traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\SOFT\Python24\Lib\site-packages\trac\web\main.py", line 379, in dispatch_request
    dispatcher.dispatch(req)

This is a showstopper for me because in my work site I do not have a Linux server available for installing Apache+Trac, so I do have a Windows server which I managed to setup and it has been working now for months.

Is there are any patch for this issue?? Can I manage to change this on my own?

Thanks for any reply.

That feature is still under development. I will deal with Windows compatibility once I get it working correctly under Linux.

Thanks for the quick reply ...

Please, let me know if I can be of any help ... I'm eager to have this working ... but no rush at all :)

Are there any other way in which I could add the subprojects to TracForge bypassing this part of the code??

I have already created the child projects via the normal trac-admin way ...

I was interested in the subscription features and centralized user permissions ...

Kind regards, Leandro.

Just make a prototype with nothing in it. This will add the project to the tracforge database without trying to do any of the funky (and broken) stuff.

Thanks for the tip. I did try and get this:

You must have at least one step in a prototype

Thanks again.

[Noah Kantrowitz]

Ahh, good point. I just uploaded a new copy of prototypes.py that has a DoNothingAction. That should do it methinks.

[Leandro Conde]

Thanks very much. It worked! But, before that I didn't have seen that it added the projects to the list, nevertheless.

Best regards!

Normally if a build step fails you wouldn't want it to add the project. I'll add some kind of disclaimer to the wiki page about this. Thanks for trying out tracforge.

This appears to be fixed on the 0.11 branch of TracForgePlugin.

[Noah Kantrowitz]

Yep, this system now actually exists.
