Request for help - Plugin template conversions

[RjOllos]

Hello Trac enthusiasts:

We've implemented some major changes in Trac and without some major effort many plugins will soon be incompatible with the latest release of Trac:

Trac 1.4 Jinja2 is the template engine rather than Genshi

Trac 1.6 Dropping Python 2 support

The Jinja2 template conversions are pretty straightforward and can be done by someone with minimal programming experience. We have a jinjachecker.py tool for checking the syntax.

If you are interested in putting some effort towards converting templates, even if you have minimal programming experience, I can offer help with: setting up a dev environment, reviewing your changes, replying to questions, etc.

At our current pace, with the current number of contributors, we will never get this done. Please chime in if you can offer some help! :)

Hi Ryan

I think preparing a guide(s) for plugins migration to 1.4 -1.5 and 1.6 could be a good idea to increase workforce , I could take care of that once I get a better understanding of the implications of the recent breaking changes

Right now, I would not be sure where/how to start, but  maybe with your help we can make a quick overview in orden to enable myself to work on it and produce that materia to share to the community. 

Thanks

Emerson

There are two pages that document the syntax conversion:

https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracDev/PortingFromGenshiToJinja#Changesinthetemplatesyntax

https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracDev/PortingFromGenshiToJinja/Example

Then, you can run jinjachecker on the modified templates:

$ ./contrib/jinjachecker.py

usage: jinjachecker.py [-h] [-j] [--html-only] [-q] [-i] TEMPLATE [TEMPLATE ...]

jinjachecker.py: error: the following arguments are required: TEMPLATE
