[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#549867: grass: wxpython gui vector digitize fails

Mon Oct 5 21:15:30 UTC 2009

Package: grass
Version: 6.4.0~rc5-2+b2
Severity: important

When selecting selecting a vector for digitizing in the wxpython gui map display, these error 
messages appear:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/grass64/etc/wxpython/gui_modules/toolbars.py", line 1071, in OnSelectMap
    self.StartEditing(self.layers[selection])
  File "/usr/lib/grass64/etc/wxpython/gui_modules/toolbars.py", line 1103, in StartEditing
    self.parent.digit = Digit(mapwindow=self.parent.MapWindow)
  File "/usr/lib/grass64/etc/wxpython/gui_modules/vdigit.py", line 685, in __init__
    VDigit.__init__(self, mapwindow)
  File "/usr/lib/grass64/etc/wxpython/gui_modules/vdigit.py", line 223, in __init__
    mapwindow)
  File "/usr/lib/grass64/etc/wxpython/vdigit/grass6_wxvdigit.py", line 333, in __init__
    this = _grass6_wxvdigit.new_Digit(*args)
TypeError: in method 'new_Digit', argument 2 of type 'wxWindow *'

And when trying to add a feature, the ui complains: "No vector map selected for editing".

As I did quite much digitizing some time ago, I did a comparison with the ctimes of the 
distributed files and my work files, and noticed, that I must have updated grass after last 
using it for digitizing: the error must then have been introduced somewhere between rc4-3 and 
rc5-2. Or then this is a manifestation of changes somewhere else...

All the Best,

Harri K.
