Installation of bitten makes trac unstable at 0.11 version

[anonymous]

I have 'bitten' installed with a .11 installation of trac. The bitten docs suggest that the installation of the Web Admin? component (even although they acknowledge it is built into .11) is *still* required. They, additionally, suggest that the option in the ini file be set to disabled (stating it is counter intuitive - but 'it works')... Here's the web page: ​http://bitten.edgewall.org/wiki/Documentation/install.html

Unfortunately I got 32 errors when running the test scripts (after installation of bitten) and when I access the Timeline menu in Trac I get this:

Trac detected an internal error: Assertion Error?: HDF dataset not available. Check your clearsilver installation If you think this should work you can reproduce the problem, you should consider reporting this to the Trac team.

Before you do that, though, please first try searching for similar issues, as it is quite likely that this problem has been reported before. For questions about installation and configuration of Trac, please try the mailing list instead of filing a ticket.

Otherwise, please

How to Reproduce

While doing a GET operation on /timeline, Trac issued an internal error.

As mentioned in the error message you also need Clear Silver? installed for the Bitten templates. There's work in progress to port the templates to Genshi, but I think the plan is to keep the next release backwards compatible with Trac 0.10.
