[PATCH] Fix for broken trac_tool.rb

What is the error? Please send mee the error, and look at config/user_environment.rb to see if CONFIG[:trac_control_url] is set.

The symbol for should be correct. I am not going to apply this patch.

self.control = DRbObject.new(nil, UserSystem::CONFIG[:trac_control_url])

The variable CONFIG[:trac_control_url] is set in config/user_environment.rb . If you have an old version of user_environment.rb, then you will not have this variable. We should have some way of handling this error in trac_tool.rb so that it does not cause a problem for people who do not run the Trac tool in development.

We do not have any good way to update user_environment.rb for developers. It is not stored in Subversion. I think that we should have a new function to return configuration variables that looks for a default that is stored in environment.rb if the CONFIG[] variable form user_environment.rb is missing. Then we can add items without forcing everyone to update their configurations manually.

My config/environments/user_environment.rb does have the following lines:

    # URL for the control server DRb.
    :control_url => 'druby://localhost:8887',

    # URL for trac control center
    :trac_control_url => :control_url,

    # URL for subversion control center
    :trac_control_url => :control_url, 

However, in trac_tool.rb, if I change:

     self.control = DRbObject.new(nil, UserSystem::CONFIG[:trac_control_url]) 

to:

     self.control = DRbObject.new(nil, UserSystem::CONFIG[:control_url]) 

It works ok. Otherwise, the stack trace given at the top shows up. So, I would guess the assignment of :trac_control_url is not working. The stack trace is the same as the above given (in summary).

I should also note that I created my user_environment.rb by copying over the user_environment.rb.example given.

Well, this statement is clearly wrong:

      :trac_control_url => :control_url,

:control_url is a symbol, not a variable. So, the CONFIG[:trac_control_url] key is set to the symbol :control_url, not to the correct string string. I think you are the first person using this example file, so you found this bug. I checked in a change to fix this. However, the change is only to the user_environment.rb.example file. You can copy it to your user_environment.rb file. We need to figure out a way to propagate it to the developers that already have user_environment files.
