winGRASS g.extension.py problems

Reported by: neteler Owned by: martinl
Priority: normal Milestone: 6.4.2
Component: wxGUI Version: 6.4.2 RCs
Keywords: g.extension, wingrass Cc: grass-dev@…
CPU: x86-32 Platform: MSWindows XP

Description

The new Python based g.extension in winGRASS 6.4.2RC3 is creating some (packaging?) problems:

  • the "find" button is not linked to python.exe, it asks which application to open for g.extension.py (see screenshot)
  • wget is not found (executing g.extension directly):
    (Mon Jan 16 10:32:57 2012)                                                      
    g.extension extension=database                                                  
    which: wget: unknown command
    GRASS_ADDON_PATH is not defined, installing to ~/.grass6/addons/
    The GRASS program path: [C:/Programmi/GRASS 6.4.SVN] contains a space. The build which follows will likely fail.
    The specified install path: [/c/Documents and Settings/netelerm.INTRA/.grass6/addons] contains a space. The build which follows will likely fail.
    The path to your GIS data: [C:\Documents and Settings\netelerm.INTRA\Documenti\grassdata] may contain a space. The build which follows will likely fail.
    Fetching <database> from GRASS-Addons SVN (be patient)...

    addons/grass6/database/database' doesn't exist

Ops, I just wonder if the cool new Python g.extension is only available in GRASS 6.5/7?

The GRASS program path: [C:/Programmi/GRASS 6.4.SVN] contains a space. The build which follows will likely fail.
The specified install path: [/c/Documents and Settings/netelerm.INTRA/.grass6/addons] contains a space. The build which follows will likely fail.
The path to your GIS data: [C:\Documents and Settings\netelerm.INTRA\Documenti\grassdata] may contain a space. The build which follows will likely fail.

afaik those warning messages only come from the shell script version(??). I did not want to make running it with paths containing spaces fatal in case somebody wanted to work on improving the make+spaces situation, but maybe we should to avoid lots of bug reports. I expect windows users to mostly spend their time in the wxgui so unless they are used to the unix version first they'd usually be steered to Martin's pre-built download modules. shrug.

wrt wget, is it not packaged?? I thought it was. or maybe curl is shipped instead? if wget is shipped maybe there's a path problem?

the python g.extension.py is in 6.4svn (it is what is shown in your screenshot). sorry I can't be much help with the .py file association errors.

g.extension ext=database ? is that to download and build all db addon modules??

strange I have tested latest 6.4svn and it works for me (stand-alone installer).

I tried with the today's winGRASS6.4.svn:

g.extension.py extension=r.unpack svnurl=http://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass-addons/grass6
Extension <r.unpack> already installed. Re-installing...
Downloading precompiled GRASS Addons <r.unpack>...
ERROR: GRASS Addons <r.unpack> not found

Probably some problem with precompiled Addons binaries. Tested with the last build (1), seems to work. Could you test it again?

tested here with standalone wingrass6.4.3svn r52715

g.extension.py extension=r.pack svnurl=http://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass-addons/grass6
Downloading precompiled GRASS Addons <r.pack>...
Updating metadata file...
Installation of <r.pack> successfully finished

at least installing addons works here on a win7-64bit-box.

closing ticket?
