Subject: grass-gui: gcpmanager fails to list source mapsets if non-ascii characters in grass data dir path

Date: Tue, 05 Jun 2012 14:35:48 +0300

Package: grass-gui
Version: 6.4.2-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Using the wxpython GUI Georectify tool is impossible if the path to the grass
data directory (e.g. GRASSDATA) contains non ascii characters (e.g.
'/home/user/Työpöytä/GRASSDATA'). Selecting the source location works, but
the 'Select source mapset:' dropdown menu remains greyed out. The command
console shows the following error message, after selecting the source location:

***
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File
"/usr/lib/grass64/etc/wxpython/gui_modules/gcpmanager.py",
line 377, in OnLocation

tmplist = os.listdir(os.path.join(self.grassdatabase,
self.xylocation))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 71, in join

path += '/' + b
UnicodeDecodeError
:
'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 15: ordinal
not in range(128)
***

Changing the grass data directory path to only contain ascii characters (e.g.
'/home/user/GRASSDATA') makes the Georectify tool usable. This seems to an
issue with how the python code handles path names and unicode characters.

Cheers,
Torsti

Control: tags -1 upstream unreproducible moreinfo

Hi Torsti,

We've have GRASS 7 in testing/unstable for some time now, and while the
upstream issue is still open, it seems it has been fixed in GRASS 7.

I can successfully open a GRASS GIS database directory by selecting the
path /home/user/tmp/Työpöytä/grassdata/, selecting the 'spearfish60'
GRASS location, selecting either of the GRASS Mapsets and starting the
GRASS session.

Can you confirm that the issue is fixed in the GRASS 7 packages in
testing/unstable?

Kind Regards,

Bas

Hi Bas,

I still get the same error as in the original bug report for GRASS 
6.4.1. when using the Georectifier.
Also changing mapset access does not work for me. So I can't confirm 
that the issue has been fixed in GRASS 7.0.1.


Thanks for the good work in the GIS team!

Best,
Torsti

My earlier testing was insufficient, I can confirm the issue with grass
6.4.4 on jessie and 7.0.1 on unstable.

On jessie the 'Select source mapset' dropdown is empty, on unstable the
dropdown is populated with empty options. When the same grassdata
directory only has ascii characters in its path, the dropdown is
populated with mapsets as expected.

I've updated the upstream issue noting that is still affects GRASS 7,
see: https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1672#comment:3

Kind Regards,

Bas

As reported in the upstream issue, it should be fixed in trunk, but
those changes haven't found their way into the 7.0 branch as it's still
present in 7.0.3 RC2.

The changes from trunk have found their way into GRASS 7.2, the issue is
fixed in the release candidate in experimental.
