Same here for GRASS GIS 7.4.3svn (r73647). Works for trunk, GRASS GIS 7.7.svn (r73645M).

Right, only G74 seems to be affected. Works also in G76.

comment:4 by martinl, 5 years ago

Comparing G74 and G76, this could play a role since messages are printed to stderr.

-_capture_stderr = True  # capture stderr of subprocesses if possible
+_capture_stderr = False  # capture stderr of subprocesses if possible

comment:5 by martinl, 5 years ago

Right, after changing

` _capture_stderr = True `

to

` _capture_stderr = False `

message is printed out.

Apparently r73269 hasn't been backported to G74 branch...

Resolution: fixed

In 73651:

libpython: revert r73238, fixes #3692

comment:10 by neteler, 5 years ago

I guess this warrants a new release? :(

comment:11 by martinl, 5 years ago

Right, what about releasing GRASS 7.4.3 soon (within weeks) with just one RC?

Replying to martinl:

Right, what about releasing GRASS 7.4.3 soon (within weeks) with just one RC?

That was partially my fault, even though r73240 was authored by neteler, sorry for the trouble! It was an attempt to capture standard error from python multiprocessing, but we found another solution.

+1 for releasing GRASS 7.4.3 soon, also because of an important bug fix in r.external.
