Description

Hello all,

I just install QGIS 3.2 and I was running v.buffer and I got an error message:
The following layers were not correctly generated.<ul><li>/AppData/Local/Temp/processing_341ff9f2228640ddbe632f218991c7b4/9152d5bb6bb54ae5b509d43f0e4f28ab/output.shp</li></ul>You can check the 'Log Messages Panel' in QGIS main window to find more information about the execution of the algorithm.

Then I tried to run v.salesman and I got a similar error:

The SAGA and the QGIS processing tools seem to work nicely, so I don't know where to look.
Thank you very much.

Can you post the full contents of the log window please?

#3 Updated by Fábio Gil Rodrigues over 6 years ago

Yes, this is the full content. (and By the way this also happens on my QGIS in my work computer with 3.0, I think)

#4 Updated by Nyall Dawson over 6 years ago

  • Resolution set to invalid
  • Status changed from Feedback to Closed

If you look through that log, you'll see that GRASS has reported:

ERROR: Select a buffer distance/minordistance/angle or column, but not both.

This is the error. You need to set a distance for the GRASS buffer tool to function correctly. But due to the nature of the grass algorithms in processing, there's a number of mutually exclusive options here. So make sure you ONLY set the buffer distance parameter.

For what it's worth - I'd recommend using the simpler and more user-friendly QGIS buffer algorithm instead.
