Bib add error!

[anonymous]

I got the following error when I add the bibtex file :

Error: Macro BibAdd(attachment:test.bib) failed

local variable 's' referenced before assignment

[Roman Mohr]

Can you please attach the used bibtex file, because I can't reproduce the error with my bibtex files.

[anonymous]

Please find the attached bibtex file. I used several bibtex files and the errors are the same.

[anonymous]

Anyone resolved this issue?!

I have the same problem with any .bib file. I'm using this syntax:

BibAdd(attachment:test.bib)?

BibRef?

And I get over and over the same error that was mentioned at the top of this ticket report.

Your error is not the same. It seems that you haven't enable the plugin. I found that my problem is due to unsupported characters in the url field.

Looks like a trivial problem of variable scope. Switch on DEBUG log level and post the appropriate logging. Then the chance for a patch increases. P.S.: First, I thought it's a plugin for adding bible psalms to the wiki :)

[anonymous]

Sorry,

my explanation was bad. The error I have is:

Error: Macro BibAdd(attachment:test.bib​) failed local variable 's' referenced before assignment

and I had correctly enable the plugin ....

Hi again,

I use the DEBUG log level as previously suggested and I'm get the following output in log file:

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

yep, trivial. The called function must initialize s and e with 0 at the beginning.

yep, trivial. The called function must initialize s and e with 0 at the beginning.

I suppose that the called function is bibtexload() in bibtexparse.py. I initialized s and e variables to 0, as you say, such as:

# # Find entries # strings=[] preamble=[] comment=[] entries={} start= 0 s= 0 e= 0

before the while cycle. I compiled the egg file again with

python setup.py bdist_egg

and update the plugin inside my trac environment, but the problem remains ...

Any idea?

[anonymous]

really restarted Trac? Apache restarted?

[Roman Mohr]

Thanks for the contribution. r11111 should contain the fixed code.

[falkb]

cool revision

Thanks for the contribution. r11111 should contain the fixed code.

Hi again,

well, I update this plugin with the final revision, run again python setup.py bdist_egg and update the final .egg file TracBib-Snapshot-py2.6.egg in the plugin directory of my trac environment. However, I get exactly the same error ....

Any idea?

As already said, it's not enough to copy the .egg file to the plugin dir. You must restart Trac or Apache, respectively. Also check the egg cache dirs and remove the .egg files of older plugin revisions.

I'm running trac in standalone mode and I already restart trac. I also remove older .egg files, but how I clean egg cache dirs?

[falkb]

Replying to anonymous:

but how I clean egg cache dirs?

For instance, my project dir has a subdir .egg-cache. Just remove them after stop and before start of trac.

In my project dir I don't have any subdir for egg-cache. However, I found that in my user root directory there is created a directory named .python-eggs. I did what you said: remove it after stop and before start trac. But without success.

Any idea?

[Roman Mohr]

I'm not sure if trac 0.11 is having such a folder. In my case it was always enough to delete to copy the new egg and restarting. But make sure to run "clean" when building. I think I remember, that sometimes setup.py is not rebuilding everything.

I always run

python setup.py clean bdist_egg

did you rebuild the egg this time with clean?

Replying to anonymous:

did you rebuild the egg this time with clean?

Yes, rebuild with clean ... clean .egg-cache dir ... and restart trac standalnoe server. I'm using trac v.0.12.2 and I try to build this plugin with version 0.12 and 0.13 ... but without success ....

The output error is the same, as well as the log error ....

What OS do you use? Do you install the .egg locally to your project or globally?

[anonymous]

Replying to falkb:

What OS do you use? Do you install the .egg locally to your project or globally?

My OS is Mac OS X 10.6.8 ... the .egg was installed locally .. just for this project ... In the directory that I mentioned, in my user root directory, called .python-eggs everytime I run trac again, it's created the following cache .eggs:

drwxr-xr-x 3 root staff 102 Jan 6 11:21 Trac-0.12.2-py2.6.egg-tmp drwxr-xr-x 3 root staff 102 Jan 6 11:21 TracAccountManager-0.3.2-py2.6.egg-tmp drwxr-xr-x 3 root staff 102 Jan 6 11:21 TracFullBlogPlugin-0.1.1-py2.6.egg-tmp drwxr-xr-x 3 root staff 102 Jan 6 11:21 TracMath-0.5-py2.6.egg-tmp drwxr-xr-x 3 root staff 102 Jan 6 11:21 TracMenusPlugin-0.1.1-py2.6.egg-tmp drwxr-xr-x 3 root staff 102 Jan 6 11:21 TracMindMapMacro-0.4-py2.6.egg-tmp drwxr-xr-x 3 root staff 102 Jan 6 11:21 TracTags-0.6-py2.6.egg-tmp drwxr-xr-x 3 root staff 102 Jan 6 11:21 TracWikiToPdfPlugin-2.3.1-py2.6.egg-tmp drwxr-xr-x 3 root staff 102 Jan 6 11:21 TracWysiwyg-0.12.0.3-py2.6.egg-tmp

As you can see, there is no evidence for a temporary or cache for this plugin ...

i think i found the error, i need a few minutes for the patch.

But I think your bibtexfile contains errors, because otherwise i can't reproduce your problem.

Ok, I'm also checking my bib tex file ... but I use others and the same error maintains. For instance, I use the bib file provide in the beginning of this ticket ...

[Roman Mohr]

Please apply attachment:bibtexparse.diff​ an report back.

And don't use the attached bibtexfile. The parserlibrary I am using is having problems parsing the url-field in this file.

Thanks

oha, the patch has absolutely no effect. I still have no clue.

An update ....

I was doing all these steps updating a backup of my environment ... so, of course, nothing changes ... Sorry for this stupid error ... I'm already apply these changes to the correct environment and I get the following error:

Error: Macro BibAdd(attachment:test2.bib) failed

'NoneType' object is not iterable

PS: I didn't update yet your last modification in the code that you made. I have to leave from my computer just for a few 30 minutes +-, so I will come back. Really thnaks for your help.

Your reported error still happens although you update to r11111. This means your Trac somehow uses a version of the plugin before r11111. I don't think the latest patch is necessary for the original problem.

[Roman Mohr]

The error now happening is, because of a problem in the parser. The parser can't handle the special-characters in the url-field in test.bib correct. Mabye I can have a look in it in the evening.

[Roman Mohr]

'%' is not a start of a comment in bibtex

[Roman Mohr]

Now there is another patch in attachment:bibtexparse.diff​.

The parser interpreted '%' as the start of a comment, but this is not supported in bibtex. So please try this new patch an report back. It worked for me on attachment:test.bib​.

did you apply the patch attachmennt:bibtexparse.diff ? Because it should resolve exactly this issue.

Go to the folder where bibtexparse.py is located, copy bibtexparse.diff into it and run

patch < bibtexparse.diff

Everything is OK now. I don't know why it inserts by itself and ! before attachment word.

Thanks a lot for your effort!!

Glad I could help. Currently you can't show all articles at once, but you can use BibNoCite(key) if you want to see it in the References.
