Hello Micha and list,
thank you for the answer.
The double quotes did not work. But when I tried, it suddenly became clear what
could be the problem. You could not see that in my example. I use a directory
as input, containing one shapefile with boundaries and one with centroids
(goal: create area vector map). Only the boundaries have the attribute LENGTH.
So it cannot be found in the centroids, and that is the reason for that message.
I wonder why it worked in the old GRASS/PYTHON? There was a message that the
'where' clause is only applied to the first input layer which is the boundary
shapefile named 'arc.shp' (starts with a, so probably it is the first). This
must have changed in GRASS78.
I used this and was happy with it because I need to import those shapes and
create a vector map out of them. Now, I think I will have to import them in two
steps (only one with 'where') and put them together in GRASS. Is 'v.patch'
followed by 'v.build' a good way or is there a better straightforward way?
If the boundary shapefile is topologically clean (no crossing lines, and
all boundaries are closed) then no need to import the centroids. Just
get the boundary lines, then run v.centroid with option=add. It will
take care of adding centroids to all closed boundaries, thus creating
areas. This would be after v.clean in any case.
Thank you and best regards,
Uwe

Hello list,
I have problems with v.in.ogr in a python script; I use:
/grass.run_command('v.in.ogr',input='d:/my_input',output='my_output',t
ype='boundary,centroid',where='LENGTH
!= 1',snap=0.01,min_area=0.01,flags="o",overwrite=True)/
This has been working fine for years in GRASS 7.0.3 with Python 2.
Now, I tried in GRASS 7.8 on Python 3 and I get the following error:
ERROR 1: "LENGTH" not recognised as an available field.
FEHLER: Error setting attribute filter 'LENGTH != 1'
The field called LENGTH is present and there is no typing error. What
I absolutely not understand is that the command is working fine inside
GRASS itself! Just the Python script does not.
Can you try to create the where clause with double quotes before calling
grass.run_command? Like so:
expr = '"LENGTH != 1"'
grass.run_command('v.in.ogr', input='...', output='...', where=expr,
type='...', .....)
„LENGTH“ is not a Python reserved keyword, and no SQL reserved
keyword. I also tried it with another name for that column. That also
did not work.
Any ideas what could be wrong? Thank you very much.
Uwe
