No buttons for voting up and down

[xylo23]

I installed the plugin correctly (VotePlugin is showing up on the plugins page and is enabled). I further went through all the points in the setup guide, very carefully. I also double checked everything. But the vote up/down buttons do not appear on any page. Not on wiki pages and not on issues.

Is the guide somehow incomplete? Do I have to enable the up/down buttons somewhere else?

[xylo23]

I'm using trac 1.0.2 and the svn version of the VotePlugin (0.5.1.dev0; installed by running "python setup.py install").

[xylo23]

Moreover, I have the permissions TRAC_ADMIN, VOTE_MODIFY, and VOTE_VIEW.

The trac.ini contains the [components] and [vote] parts as described in the guide and

trac-admin /path/to/projenv upgrade

went through successfully, and the webserver was restarted.

I forgot to mention that my session is set as well:

2016-11-25 20:23:22,182 Trac[session] DEBUG: Retrieving session for ID u'stefan'

I enabled the trac.log with DEBUG mode, but couldn't find any debug message regarding tracvote, except those loading statements:

2016-11-25 20:23:21,628 Trac[loader] DEBUG: Loading tracvote from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/TracVote-0.5.1.dev0-py2.7.egg

I also tried the versions 0.4.0 and 0.5.0, but it's the same behavior.

Do you have tracvote.js on the page? You can check by viewing the page source (compare with this page on trac-hacks.org).

If you are serving static resources from the webserver (not TracStandalone), you need to run deploy and restart the web server.

[xylo23]

Oh yes. tracvote.js is missing on the page. I will do the deploy as you suggested. Thanks a lot!

[xylo23]

I got stuck again. I made the deploy, moved the files to trac's htdocs directory and restarted the server. Now I can access tracvote.js on my server (​https://endrullis.de/trac/fubaja/chrome/vote/js/tracvote.js), but the file doesn't get loaded on the trac page. Do I need to edit some html file and include the <script> tag manually or should those header information be added by trac automatically?

[Ryan J Ollos]

You may need to do a hard refresh of the page to refresh cached resources. I'm not sure I see the mechanism for that in this case, but it's worth a try.

I need to update TracPlugins to cover this step. That will probably happen as part of ​trac:#12288.

Documented in ​trac:TracPlugins@92.

[Ryan J Ollos]

Let me know if you encounter any other issues.

[xylo23]

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, I could not get trac to load the tracvote.js file. I added some debug messages to determine whether the line

add_script(req, 'vote/js/tracvote.js')

is executed at all. And it isn't.

I traced it down to the method post_process_request and found out that trac was able to reach the line

for path in self.voteable_paths

but nothing in this for loop is executed. I printed self.voteable_paths and it was:

[]

In the guide it's written that one can set the paths variable to an empty string in the trac.ini to enable voting everywhere:

[vote]
paths = 

That's what I did. Maybe it's not really working that way?

[Ryan J Ollos]

Yeah, I think that documentation is out of date. Please try:

[vote]
paths = *

Corrected in VotePlugin@34.

[xylo23]

Yeah, that works! Thanks a lot!
