wxGUI: v.digit broken for new maps: "No vector map selected for editing." although selected

[neteler]

When trying to create a new vector map from scratch, there is a selection bug (6.4. and 6.5):

Map display -> digitize -> New vector map -> "ciao" as name [map is listed in layer manager ok] -> select map in Map display [could be automated since I just created it] -> "ciao" map is correctly listed in vector map selector -> digitize point -> ERROR: No vector map selected for editing.

See screenshot attached.

v.digit broken for new maps in 6.4 and 6.5 (7 untested)

Works for me.

'...' in 'command output' tab indicates that some messages have been printed out. Or set GRASS_WX_DEBUG=1 to redirect error messages to the xterm.

Works for me with latest 6.5svn on debian/stable amd64.

Can you send traceback message from the command output?

Works for me on Mac in 6.4, 6.5, and 7. Can we close this?

Closing. No response for continued problems. Tests by Martin and me show no problems now. Can reopen if needed.

Even tho' this ticket was closed, I seem to have stumbled over the same problem on a new install. I'm setting up a Fedora 12 machine (i686). Finished compiling GRASS 6.4R5 successfully. I haven't done any real work yet, but everything looks OK, except for the digitizer in wxGUI. (v.digit in the tck/tk interface works fine). Here's the backtrace when I try to select a vector map for digitizing:

this is know problem, see #782. Downgrade your version of swig e.g. to 1.3.36.

[micha]

Hi Martin: Yes that seems to fix the prob. I removed the swig rpm (1.3.40) and compiled swig-1.4.36, then in grass I did: make clean, make, make install, and now the python vector digitizer works. Many thanks, Micha
