closing ticket with commit message no longer working

[Skye Bender-deMoll]

Hi folks,

The feature to close tickets with an svn commit message has stopped
working for me. It was definitely working a few weeks ago, I may have
made some permissions changes during the process of getting commit
emails working. But I'm not getting any error messages, and file
permissions appear to be correct. Does anyone have any suggestions on
how to debug this?

More info:

Post commit hook seems to still be working, commits show up on the
timeline and ticket number #123 is hilighted and linked to ticket but
"Fixes #123" or "Closes #123" does not trigger the appropriate action.
I've set logging to Debug, but don't recognize any issues in the log.
Committing unix username is the same as trac user.

Debian
Trac 0.12.2
CommitTicketUpdater enabled

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help,
-skye

This seems to be coming up pretty frequently on the list. If you search the group you'll find several threads over the past several months. You might start here and see if any of the hints help you: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/trac-users/commit$20message%7Csort:date/trac-users/ERMj0xKtByE/g5r_KaSSNDMJ

Thanks for the response with links to more info.

It was a permissions problem after all. Posting how I found it here
just in case it helps others who are searching with a similar problem.

I'd verified that my trac settings were correct as per earlier threads.

I ran just the "/usr/bin/trac-admin changeset added ..." command from
my post-commit script. The command failed as my ssh+svn user (Error:
Command not found), but ran fine as sudo. So I was pretty sure it was a
permissions problem. After a bit of chasing red herrings, a friend
suggested running with strace

strace /usr/bin/trac-admin /trac/repo_name changeset added
"svn_repo_name" "svn_revision_id"

which eventually printed out:

open("/trac/repo_name/log/trac.log",
O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_APPEND|O_LARGEFILE, 0666) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
write(2, "Error: Command not found", 24Error: Command not found) = 24

I checked the permissions on the trac.log file, and found that it was
missing group write permissions for the group containing the svn user.
When I corrected that, the commit message "fixes #123" worked fine again!

best,
-skye

Thanks for the feedback. This is valuable information indeed.

Just one minor nit-pick: Avoid top-posting. English an a lot of other
languages are read left-to-right and top-down. So top-posting totally
messes up the otherwise much tidier read-line.

Compare on your own: I've hand-edited above as if your post had followed
that style recommendation (net-etiquette). Thanks for consideration.
