Description

Testing QGIS 3.0, KyngChaos QGIS 3.0.0-3 (because MacPorts QGIS 3.1 crashes under OSX))

Have DEM and using GRASS r.viewshed - which works with QGIS 2.18.15

With QGIS 3.0 and using the same DEM file, it ppears to execute but no output.
The runtime processing log display disappears too quickly to capture any info

with GRASS set to log everything
GRASS log shows:

By running r.viewshed in batch mode I can capture a bit more:

Note the above batch log includes:
"/Applications/QGIS_3.app/Contents/MacOS/grass/etc/colors/grass: Permission denied",

but there is a /Applications/QGIS_3.app/Contents/MacOS/grass/etc/colors/grass file and
changing its permissions to read/write for all has no effect.

I made sure that both DEM file and the display were using the same CRS.

Any ideas?
