Hi I'm having trouble installing and using the Mercurial ChartExtension
When I installed it as per instructions
First you need to install the extension; type this in your shell: python ./setup.py install Blockquote
I then modified my mercurial.ini file as follows
[extensions] chart=/path/to/chart.py Blockquote
Then tried running Hg Chart command and got the following error
Can anyone help me get this extension working. I know there's the Hg ActivityExtension as well, but i have not had much luck with that either Problem installing Mercurial Activity extension
A layman's guide to what steps i need to follow would be of immense help
Based on the changelog, the Chart extension has not been updated since late 2008. It would probably work if you tried using it with a version of Mercurial released around that same time (Mercurial v1.1.2 was released on Dec. 30, 2008).
The latest version of Mercurial is now v1.9.2. The API has changed (probably quite a bit) since v1.1.2. If the extension has not been modified to keep up with the changes to the API, then it will fail in ways similar to the error you found. In this case, the number of arguments for the walkchangerevs
method has changed.
Updating the extension could be a large task...there is no way to know without inspecting the code. You could try to contact the author (@Ry4an) and ask for help. You could also try to modify the extension yourself.
