Hi,

just updated GRASS 7.1.svn (r64526), (after make clean, make distclean, svn up etc…)
At start up I get the following:

Thank you. However it seems to me that the behavior is different. In the case of Michael, he is launching r.flip and getting the error. This has happened to me in the past with some addons, and i have reinstalled them against current version. However in this case, I’m just launching grass, and getting error without calling any addons.

you need to recompile your addons against your current version of
GRASS. Simply run:

g.extension.all -f

It would be great if the user could just be informed about this instead of seeing all these error messages...

I don't really understand: does GUI startup call these addon-modules ? If yes, why ?

It works in the way that when loading toolboxes for the Search module tab,

installed addons are called with --interface-description in order to get
the keywords and description to be searchable in the Search module tab. If
the addon is compiled for different version, previously it failed
silently on Linux/Mac. Now you get errors. On Windows however, even the
previous 'silent' solution was not silent, instead you got an ugly error
dialog "python.exe stopped working" which in the newest version of Windows
8 doesn't allow you to see details about which application actually was not
working. For each not working addon you have to click on the dialog so that
the gui can show up.

So, I would suggest to stop loading metadata for addons, at least on
Windows. The addons would be still available in the Search module tree and
would be searchable by the module name (not by keywords or desc). The
change should be easy.

I have added such message r64532 (it's hot candidate for backport,
noted on [1]). Martin

So, I would suggest to stop loading metadata for addons, at least on
Windows. The addons would be still available in the Search module tree and

+1 for Windows (should be done ASAP). We can work on better solution
later after releasing G700.
