#3470 new bug

GRASS error(s?) missing error details

Reported by: arencambre Owned by:
Priority: major: does not work as expected Milestone: Version 1.7.0
Component: GRASS Version: 1.6.0
Keywords: Cc: aren@…
Must Fix for Release: No Platform: Windows
Platform Version: 7 Awaiting user input: no

Description

If I try to get GRASS to import a PostGIS DB, the result is this error: DBMI-DBF driver error:

Yes, that's right, there is no error condition specified.

If I take the exact same command and run it directly in GRASS 6.4.1 RC1 (installed separately), I get this error: Cannot connect to Postgres: fe_sendauth: no password supplied

I cannot remember how I did it now, but I had at least one other GRASS command have an error without any error details. It appears the build of GRASS may be missing the logic or strings to produce error details.

I also downgraded to GRASS 6.4.0-1 and produced the same results: the standalone GRASS shows error messages that are missing from the one included in QGIS.

Just to be clear, the problem here is that the error message is being suppressed, not that there is an error.

I have filed http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1274 separately about the error.
