installation fails with "IndexError: list index out of range"

[Bram]

Hello,

I'm currently trying to install the plugin to a windows Server 2008 machine with Python 2.6.5 and Trac 0.12.2. When I start the easy_install, after a while it ends with:

IndexError: list index out of range"

The latest working line was:

python\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg\setuptools\command\egg_info.py", line 233, in get_svn_revision

I'm sorry but I don't have Windows, Trac 0.12, or Subversion.

I'm getting the same error trying to install Bitten. Not sure if it's related.

Have you found a Trac ticket regarding this?

Seems like this is not TracJSGantt. Or at least not only TracJSGantt. If you find that I'm making a common mistake, please reopen.

In case anyone else runs across this since this was the first hit I found for this error... I think I found the cause of this problem. It's due to the fact that Subversion 1.7 has changed their working copy metadata format. Because of this setuptools existing get_svn_revision method no longer works. It needs to be modded to support this. You can read more about this ​here on the Trac ticket system.

Thanks @netjunki. I had to revert to older versions of bitten to work around this so I will give upgrading a shot and report back what I find.

Same issue in #9565. Thanks for the info netjunki!

[Ryan J Ollos]

This issue is seen again in #10778.

I'm seeing the same problem when attempting installation with 'sudo easy_install -Z -U ​http://trac-hacks.org/svn/xmlrpcplugin/trunk' (following ​http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/XmlRpcPlugin on a Trac 1.0.1-4 from Bitnami). This is currently blocking any possible use of Trac.

[Ryan J Ollos]

Your problem is with Setuptools, not Trac. See comment:4:ticket:10778 for solutions. Please ask on the ​trac:MailingList if you have additional questions.
