[Bug] Profile tool fails in GUI

cmbarton commented 3 years ago

Describe the bug I just compiled and installed GRASS 7.8.5. When I tried the GUI profile tool, it fails with the error message: "ERROR: option : <-> exists. To overwrite, use the --overwrite flag. A blank profile window is generated.

To Reproduce Display "elevation" from the SC demo data set. Launch the profile tool Make a rubber band line to create a profile

Affected with this error ERROR: option : <-> exists. To overwrite, use the --overwrite flag are r.profile, r.horizon, r.out.bin module. Bug occur if output option is output=- (stdout).

Problematic is line where checking if file exist (stdout) G_parser(), check_overwrite() function.

This is not working in version 7.9 dev either.

Could @cmbarton check if this file file /home/<your_user>/- exist please? After deleting it the wxGUI Profile tool, r.profile, r.horizon, ~r.out.bin~ module works properly or apply this PR #1245.

In my use case:

GRASS nc_basic_spm_grass7/PERMANENT:~ > file /home/tomas/-
/home/tomas/-: ASCII text
GRASS nc_basic_spm_grass7/PERMANENT:~ > cat /home/tomas/-

I will check

I did. When I deleted it, profile worked. Interestingly, the file dated back to 2018. No idea what created it.
