I am unable to use GRASS algorithms in QGIS 2.0.1 (on windows xp). I've already configured the GRASS path. The algorithms seems to work correctly (I cannot see errors in the log), however in the end the following windows appears:

Oooops! The following output layers could not be open Output layer: C:\DOCUME~1\MCORDI~1\IMPOST~1\Temp\processing\ebc399ac72364b68aad151d232a1379a\output.shp The above files could not be opened, which probably indicates that they were not correctly produced by the executed algorithm. [...] It seems that GRASS is not correctly installed and configured in your system. Please install it before running GRASS algorithms.

Here below the log for the v.distance command

  • GRASS seems to correctly work on my machine if I use the GRASS plugin for QGIS 1.8.0...

  • However v.distance does not work in modeler (sextante) for QGIS 1.8.0. I suppose it is a problem linked to the definition of the GRASS mapset (automatic in sextante, manual in GRASS plugin...)

  • .. "does not work" - does v.distance deliver results or crashes or doesn't give the output to the next step?

  • You can see the log above. The final message delivered by the algorithm is "The above files could not be opened, which probably indicates that they were not correctly produced by the executed algorithm"

  • It seems that the modeller doesn't "see" any more the output.shp produced by v.out.ogr? Perhaps you need to open a bugreport in the QGIS tracker for this.

v.distance does not currently work in QGIS processing. The first problem is that for the dist relation option, the column where the distance is to be stored is chosen from the "to" input layer (it must be chosen from the "from" input layer). This can be fixed by changing ~/.qgis2/python/processing/grass/description/v.distance.txt: You need to change the "to" to "from" as shown below

ParameterTableField|column|Column where values specified by 'upload' option will be 
uploaded|to|-1|False

to

ParameterTableField|column|Column where values specified by 'upload' option will be
uploaded|from|-1|False

After fixing this, v.distance runs for a while, but fails to produce the distances, so there seems to be something more that is wrong.

There are issues for this (http://hub.qgis.org/issues/5954 and http://hub.qgis.org/issues/8322).
