[ckan-dev] Datastore & filestore via API

Tue Aug 14 08:10:47 UTC 2012

Hi Sean,
thanks for the useful hints!

First thing I cleaned the db and started from scratch. While using paster
to reinitialize, add users, etc, I keep getting this error over and over:

File "/home/ckan/pyenv/src/ckan/ckan/lib/activity.py", line 44, in
before_commit
    revision = session.revision
AttributeError: 'Session' object has no attribute 'revision'

Having seen it before, I suspect this is somehow related to not being able
to upload.
Is it possible? Any pointer for solving this?

Best,
michele
