[Qgis-user] QGIS 3.4 macOS still doesn't install GRASS properly, ... 'sigh...'

[Mr. Stace D Maples]

To be fair, Esri doesn’t claim to run on a Mac.

Also, we’ve reached out numerous times to QGIS.org and others trying to find out how to fund this, with total silence from everywhere, including this list. So there’s that.

Is it really a put up or shut up issue when you are releasing this as a stable release? Really?

To be fair you can't run ESRI on a mac either, but this is basically a put up or shut up issue - hire a developer to fix the mac build if you can't do it your self.

Seriously, we just can’t get a working installer for macOS? It’s just never gonna happen, is that it? I’d love to be able to teach QGIS alongside Esri, but I can tell people to use something that doesn’t work, out of the box. I’ve been trying for 2 days now to get back to a working copy of QGIS3. It’s my fault, of course. I know better than to upgrade, now.  If you aren’t going to test it properly, don’t release it.

Here is what I get when running GRASS tools:

2018-10-31T08:54:25     INFO    GRASS GIS 7 execution console output

Yes, I read the ReadMe and followed the instructions
Yes, I’ve added the ENV variables
Yes, I’ve scrubbed everything and done a clean install (several times)
Yes, I even tried the futile installation of the GRASS “required frameworks” which seem to be the only solutions anyone is able to suggest on StackExchange.
Yes I tried installing GRASS on it’s own and pointing to it from the processing settings, which didn’t work.

Perfectly open to suggestions that DON’T involve any of the above.
