wxGUI: Export variables to Python in Graphical Modeler

[landam]

Steps to reproduce

1. Add variable(s) into model

2. Export to Python

Sample model: 06_grass_chm_v3.zip

Current behaviour

No variables exported (as UI options). On the other hand variables are used in command statements (see last row in example below):

#!/usr/bin/env python3
#
##############################################################################
#
# MODULE:       model
#
# AUTHOR(S):    martin
#
# PURPOSE:      Script generated by wxGUI Graphical Modeler.
#
# DATE:         Sat May 11 22:38:15 2024
#
##############################################################################

# %module
# % description: Script generated by wxGUI Graphical Modeler.
# %end

import sys
import os
import atexit

from grass.script import parser
from grass.pygrass.modules import Module

def cleanup():
    pass

def main(options, flags):
    Module("r.in.pdal",
           flags='eo',
           overwrite=True,
           input="%path/dmr5g/%tile.laz",

New behaviour

Variables exported as UI options and used in the Python code correctly:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
#

#
# MODULE:       model
#

def main(options, flags):
    Module("r.in.pdal",

           input=f"{options['path']}/dmr5g/{options['tile']}.laz",

When I define a variable without description, the script generation fails with the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ondrej/workspace/grass/dist.x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gui/wxpython/gmodeler/panels.py", line 268, in OnPageChanged

When I define a variable without description, the script generation fails with the following error message:

Right, a variable description is optional in the current implementation (see the fill variable in screenshot below):

Now (834a8cc) it's exported as:

...
# % key: fill
# % description: 
# % required: yes
...

When running exported Python script, the parser complains about missing description:

WARNING: Bug in UI description. Description for option <fill> missing

In e2ac8e7, options are formatted only if necessary:

    run_command("r.in.pdal",
                flags="eo",
                overwrite=True,
                input=f"{options['path']}/dmr5g/{options['tile']}.laz",
                output=f"{options['tile']}_dmr",
                method="mean",
                type="FCELL",
                zscale=1.0,
                iscale=1.0,
                resolution=options["resolution"],
                dimension="z")

I have tried to create a simple model with only v.buffer, using variable o for output. It crashes with the following error:

The model is simple, but still, attached here. Sorry for the txt extension, it's because github doesn't support attaching *.gxm files. It's just mimikry.

Thanks for testing! The error is caused by when pyGRASS API (option with multiple values provided a list) is used. Fixed by 8468739.

Everything seems to work now. Thanks!
