Description

If I try to get GRASS to import a PostGIS DB, the result is this error:
DBMI-DBF driver error:

Yes, that's right, there is no error condition specified.

If I take the exact same command and run it directly in GRASS 6.4.1 RC1 (installed separately), I get this error:
Cannot connect to Postgres: fe_sendauth: no password
supplied

I cannot remember how I did it now, but I had at least one other GRASS command have an error without any error details. It appears the build of GRASS may be missing the logic or strings to produce error details.

History

#1 Updated by Aren Cambre over 13 years ago

I also downgraded to GRASS 6.4.0-1 and produced the same results: the standalone GRASS shows error messages that are missing from the one included in QGIS.

#2 Updated by Aren Cambre over 13 years ago

Just to be clear, the problem here is that the error message is being suppressed, not that there is an error.

I have filed http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1274 separately about the error.

FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "xxx"
