Setup

I pretty much used the instructions here: http://www.visualsvn.com/server/trac/.  I didn’t do step 8 written in the instructions, and it still worked for me.  However, what’s not setup is the Trac administrator account.  After the setup, I was able to access the Trac webapp and was also able to view the SVN logs, revisions, etc.  I initially got a message about “no changesets”, but after a commit to the repo, everything showed up on the webapp.

Setting up the admin account

While the above instructions allow you to login to Trac using the existing SVN credentials, that user is not considered an admin user.  All I had to do was run this command:

trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission add bob TRAC_ADMIN

After restarting the server, the admin tab was available in Trac.  Now Trac is available for use for bug tracking with an existing SVN repo!

The Fix

The fix involves disabling the shell extensions, so disabling them is not recommended if the user makes use of these features.

  1. Download ShellExView from http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html
  2. Disable the following items:
    • SLDASMIcons Class
    • SLDDEWIcons Class
    • SLDPRTIcons Class
    • SldShellExtension Class
    • Solidworks Document Thumbnail Handler
    • SolidWorks file Info Tips Class
    • SolidWorks file Preview Class

Once these items are disabled, SVN should work properly.
