user registration fails with UnicodeDecodeError

[squalyl@…]

Hello,

trying to install account manager on trac 0.11.1.

(installed from instructions on ​http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AccountManagerPlugin: easy_install ​http://trac-hacks.org/svn/accountmanagerplugin/0.11 )

I enabled the user registration, and when posting the registration form I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/trac/web/api.py", line 339, in send_error
    'text/html')

    text = mjoin(textbuf, escape_quotes=False)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 904: ordinal not in range(128)

I also get a stack frame dump when trying to add a new user from the account mgr admin :(

Do you need parts of my config to understand the issue?

well, sorry for the noise :(. That sorta works now... this was a conflict between the original login system and the new one...

![...] Do you need parts of my config to understand the issue?

No, I would have insisted on installing trunk, since 0.11 branch hasn't been updated for the last nine months or so, and a lot of fixes and improvements went into the development branch meanwhile.

However, glade it's working for you now. But especially if you do use registration, you should give trunk a try for your own peace of mind. Look at the revision log, to see what got in there. Building a proper changelog is still an open task.

Ah, leave sentiment out of description, if possible at all, and better have some keywords in here too. :-)

[squalyl@…]

Okay, are there any upgrade issues?

my personal peace of mind came from the debian 'apt-get install trac' command, but why not have a look at your last work :)

thanks for the keywords and summary.

No, there are no db upgrades and I've designed everything but the email verification code to be backwards-compatible in terms of default behavior. As long as you don't set specific (new) options, you shouldn't be in trouble and would just benefit from revised code. I've put the code in production, so there is certainly nothing serious, breaking Trac db or similar, as far as I used and tested it.

But take this with a grain of salt as always.

I'm a Debian fellow too, but have to continue to break the general rule with Trac and Trac plugins as it stands by now. This would need much more packaging assistance, to name just one of the issues, that the Python package maintainers do face these days. I made contact, but since have been overwhelmed by maintenance and support demand of this and some other plugins.

thanks for the keywords and summary.

You're welcome.
