Unable to access hooks directory

[Andrew.Hardy@…]

Installed tracsvnhooks 0.2 into a trac 0.10.3.

svn contains a number of projects, the configuration for this project is:

repository_dir c:\svnrepositories\WEBMIP

repository_type svn

Running the plugin produces:

Internal Error: Can't access repository hook directory c:\svnrepositories\WEBMIP\hooks

The hooks directory is found at c:\svnrepositories\hooks - the WEBMIP reference is the location of the project within the repository (I think that this is standard practice for trac and multiple svn repositories?)

In our environment we use an own svn tree for each project - therefore each got his own hooks subdirectory - the default structure which is created via the svn-admin command. This allows to have different hooks for each project.

An easy solution to the problem above, would be a symlink from c:\svnrepositories\WEBMIP\hooks to c:\svnrepositories\hooks.

Another way would be the introduction of an optional option in trac.ini, i.e. repository_hooks_dir. If there is a strong request for this option, I'm going to integrate this.

Replying to Bombenbodo:

Unfortunately this doesn't work with the fsfs environment - there are no 'project' levels above the repository directory.

This sounds useful, I'll add my vote!

Thanks for your help,

New option "repository_hooks_dir" introduced in [2646].
