AttributeError in web_ui.py

[Chriki TM]

Hi,

I believe, I've found a bug in the AccountManagerPlugin. Unfortunately I have no Python experience at all. But having a look at the code shows that in the authenticate method of the LoginModule class in web_ui.py the line

req.remote_user = self._remote_user(req)

is wrong. req is a property for a managed attribute. In ​trac.web.api.Request this property has no setter function assigned which results in the error.

Here's a traceback of the error:

15:42:33 Trac[main] ERROR: can't set attribute
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\Python24\lib\site-packages\trac\web\main.py", line 387, in dispatch_request
    dispatcher.dispatch(req)

    req.authname = self.authenticate(req)
  File "C:\Program Files\Python24\lib\site-packages\trac\web\main.py", line 146, in authenticate
    authname = authenticator.authenticate(req)

  File "build\bdist.win32\egg\acct_mgr\web_ui.py", line 195, in authenticate
AttributeError: can't set attribute

I'm using trac 0.10.3 and the AccountManagerPlugin with revision 1887 of the SVN repository.

HTH,

This is a duplicate of #234

You appear to be using the AccountManager from the "0.9" branch which will not work on Trac 0.10. You'll need to download the plugin from the "0.10" branch instead.

Hi,

thanks very much, I really had used the wrong branch. It all works properly now with the "0.10" branch.
