Add a TracMetrix help page

[anonymous]

Either it's nonexistent, or it's very well hidden.

Please add basic use cases to the introductory material. Pictures of graphs with no description of how to generate them is... frustrating.

This is a good idea, and I will improve the documentation. This evening, while studying the source code, I discovered that there is also an mdashboard (Milestone Dashboard) that is accessible by clicking on each milestone. I had previously assumed that each milestone just linked to the standard milestone description, and had never bothered to click on them.

We can add the help to the documentation, and add the following to the bottom of the page.

Note: See TracMetrix for help on using the project metrics.

Until this is completed, can you add some stop-gap instructions in this thread or something? I just managed to get the plugin to work after working around #3684, but now haven't the faintest idea where to begin to make the charts I need. Clicking on links like in the Roadmap just nets me "No handler matched request to /mdashboard/M8".

[Ryan J Ollos]

Looks like we have another error to deal with. It should automatically make the charts you need. I will try to get #3684 fixed so that you don't need a workaround and will make sure this works correctly for me on a fresh setup ... we can proceed with debugging from there.

Could you confirm that all of the components are enabled on the Plugins administration page?:

Also, please upgrade to the latest revision of the 0.11 or 0.12 branch before testing since I fixed another issue today that was breaking the install.

[jnelson@…]

Confirmed, all components are enabled. I upgraded to the latest revision (confirmed by verifying that #3684 no longer repros), with no effect on the "No handler matched request to /mdashboard/M8" error. Can file a separate bug for that issue, if desired. I thought that there was some configuration I still had to do, since I see references to [mdashboard] and [pdashboard] in other bugs but I have not added either of those to my trac.ini file.

[Ryan J Ollos]

Yeah, we should probably have another ticket for this. Please provide as much details about your Trac installation as you can think of. It works fine for me without configuring the sections in trac.ini, so its unlikely that is the issue. Is M8 the entire name of your milestone, or does it perhaps have some special characters in it?

I'm not able to make TracMetrix to work. No Dashboard menu is showed in the mainnav (there is none config set in [mainnav] section of the trac.ini).

I have installed this plugin (with easy_install and building the .egg manually), but the only visible option in the plugin administration page is the first one, TracMetrixSetupPage from tracmetrixplugin.api. The dependencies are installed: Matplotlib and NumPy. I also put the follow section in trac.ini:

[pdashboard]
yui_base_url = http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.7.0    #Location of YUI API

but I'm not sure if this YUI api is being located.

Also, if I try to access /pdashboard page, I got No handler matched request to /pdashboard.

Really like the proposal of this plugin and hope can make it work.

I'm using:

• Python 2.6
• Trac 0.12
• Postgre 8.4

Hello,

I just happened to see this thread. I would like to display such statistics graphs on my team's trac page. I know nothing about trac, and asked the IT to install this for me. They said they did. Can you give me a very basic example of usage? Many thanks!

I am running into the same error and I was curious if you were ever able to solve the problem?

You'll be looking for an item on the mainnav named Metrics.

You might need scipy as well, I'm not entirely sure. Open a python shell and type import pylab. If it succeeds, you have the required dependencies installed. It sounds like you don't however. You may also find some error messages when starting Trac, that say something like Skipping loading. You'll need to turn on logging. See ​t:TracLogging for info on enabling logging.

The dependencies are installed: Matplotlib and NumPy. I also put the follow section in trac.ini:

[pdashboard]
yui_base_url = http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.7.0    #Location of YUI API

but I'm not sure if this YUI api is being located.

I'm not sure you'll need that. As a start, I'd suggest leaving the default configuration.

Please try what I suggested in comment:12 and also list the versions of Python and Trac that you are using.

Also, please make sure to update your source since I just committed a fix for traceback in [12799].
