What: undo transactions in grok

Problem: zope.app.undo does not work with ZODB-3.10 and grok-1.10.3

Solutions (all these are workarounds, use them at your own risk):

1. MenuItem Error

as result of adding zope.app.undo to setup.py following error appears:

ConfigurationError: ('Unknown directive', u'http://namespaces.zope.org/browser', u'menuItem')

edit

zope.app.undo-3.5.0-py2.7.egg/zope/app/undo/configure.zcml

and delete the menuItem-Sections; menuItem is used bei ZMI and implemented bei zc.forms or other but not by zope.formlib; I use zope.formlib in grok apps

2. ZODB has changed the api

Error after submit the transaction ID's:

"Duplicate tpc_begin calls for same transaction"

The undo API has changed with ZODB 3.10. As noted in the changelog:

      
      "The API for undoing multiple transactions has changed. To undo
      multiple transactions in a single transaction, pass a list of
      transaction identifiers to a database's undoMultiple method. Calling a
      database's undo method multiple times in the same transaction now
      raises an exception."
      
      Your code calls undo multiple times, and needs to be changed accordingly.

edit in

zope.app.undo-3.5.0-py2.7.egg/zope/app/undo/__init__.py

the last def:

old:

    def _undo(self, ids):
 
        for id in ids:
            self.__db.undo(id)
        transaction.get().setExtendedInfo('undo', True)

new:

    def _undo(self, ids):
 
        self.__db.undoMultiple(ids)
        transaction.get().setExtendedInfo('undo', True)

Demo grok View

from zope.app.undo.interfaces import IUndoManager
from zope.component import getUtility
from zope.interface import Interface
 
class Undo(grok.View):
  grok.context(Interface)

  def getPrincipalTransactions(self, first=0, last=-20, showall=False):
        context = None
        if not showall:
            context = self.context
        undo = getUtility(IUndoManager)
        return undo.getPrincipalTransactions(self.request.principal, context,
                                             first, last)
