crash when creating new GRASS location on Windows

Crashes QGIS or corrupts data: Copied to github as #:11104

Description

QGIS (Windows version only) crashes if you are trying to create location with almost same name as exist (the only difference is character case).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create new GRASS location with name "bug"
2. Now try to create another GRASS location with name "Bug"
3. After last wizard step the QGIS crashes

The problem is that Linux is case sensitive (bug and Bug are two different strings) but in Windows there is impossible to create two files named "bug" and "Bug".

History

#1 Updated by Marco Pasetti - almost 16 years ago

I think that the only possible solution is to introduce a name check to prevent this error, telling that the location Bug already exists and repromp for a new name.

#2 Updated by Maciej Sieczka - almost 16 years ago

Bug confirmed under WINE 1.0.0 configured to emulate Win XP, on amd64 Debian testing using Marco's "QGIS 0.11.0 for Windows pre-release testing installer".

Indeed it seems the culprit is Windows is not case-sensitive as GNU/Linux is.

Absolutely! Windows is NOT case sensitive. As I said two months ago, there would be a simple solution: introduce a name check function to prevent this error, checking if the location's name (that is the folder) already exixts and, if yes, telling that the location Bug already exists and reprompt for a new name.

I donn't know if that should be done in GRASS code; actually I think that we could do that in one of the src\\qgis-dev\\src\\plugins\\grass\\ cpp files

This also happens on a Mac.

There's already a duplicate name check in qgsgrassnewmapset.cpp. It needs to be made case insensitive for Mac and Win.

I think there is a problem with 47dbaf29 (SVN r9288). I'm running qt4.4 and I get this compile error:

  • Status changed from Feedback to Open

These last two items were caused by 034dd533 (SVN r9289) which upgraded the plugin from Qt3 to Qt4. X11 needed a QPainter declaration that Mac did not. Fixed by 2624cdea (SVN r9292).

Add the line

#include <typeinfo>

after #include <math.h> and try compiling again. I will wait for any other issues before updating svn.

What OS are you using? I will also add a comment that this file is needed for a particular OS so it doesn't get removed again.

The last issue is fixed by gcc 4.3 compatibility changes in d0496982 (SVN r9293).

#13 Updated by Maciej Sieczka - over 15 years ago

Buids fine now. I'm on Debian testing amd64, gcc 4.3.1.
