Trac plugin importerror with DBAuthPlugin

[Tomek <tomkor@…>]

Hi there!

I'm trying to incorporate the DBAuthPlugin into Trac running standalone. After downloading the source and creating the egg I receive the following info in the trac log

13:17:54 Trac[loader] ERROR: Failed to load plugin dbauth.userdir from c:\python23\lib\site-packages\tracdbauth-0.1dev-py2.3.egg
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\trac\loader.py", line 77, in load_components
    entry_point.load()
  File "c:\python23\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6a11-py2.3.egg\pkg_resources.py", line 1830, in load
    entry = __import__(self.module_name, globals(),globals(), ['__name__'])
  File "build\bdist.win32\egg\dbauth\userdir.py", line 19, in ?
ImportError: No module named userdir
13:17:54 Trac[loader] DEBUG: Loading plugin dbauth.auth from c:\python23\lib\site-packages\tracdbauth-0.1dev-py2.3.egg
13:17:54 Trac[loader] DEBUG: Loading plugin dbauth.perm from c:\python23\lib\site-packages\tracdbauth-0.1dev-py2.3.egg 

As a result the login page does not come up at all and Trac appears to use its default web authorization.

I am new to python but from what I understand the loader is looking for the userdir.py in a directory path that does not exist in the created egg.

Is this a problem with the egg itself or have I missed something when configuring Python and setuptools and creating the egg?

See DbAuthPlugin wiki page and search for userdir.py - it requires a patch from ​Ticket 2456 at p.e.c. The patch is dated, but I hope to have a new one soon, for /trunk 0.10. That will require updating this plugin to work with 0.10, which is fairly easy.

Apologies for not seeing this ticket - I'm still not getting email notifications. You can email me directly if you like.
