Subject: [Qgis-user] Grass Processing Tools fail in QGIS LTR, PR & Nightly Builds on MacOS

Anyone have any luck getting grass tools to work on MacOS? This problem never seems to go away. Any ideas area appreciated. I’ve got 75 students in a Fundamentals course starting to work on their assignments, next week, and no one can get QGIS to work properly. Windows users are having issues, too, but I haven’t even gotten to them, yet. Here’s my write-up from the last 3 hours of deleting profiles and reinstalling 3 versions on Catalina 10.15.6:

From: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/32511
I seem to be having the same issue, an issue I've seen many times in the past. My routine for testing a new installation of QGIS is to add the QuickMapPlugin, Create random points and then use v.voronoi on those points to test the historically finicky GRASS processing tools.

  1.  Deleted user profile for all QGIS users and uninstalled previous apps
  2.  Download Latest Release: qgis-macos-pr.dmg and install
  3.  Open QGIS with new empty doc
FYI, I don't think the next 2 steps have anything to do with the issue, but adding them full acccounting:
  4.  Install QuickMapServices Plugin, add contrib services
  5.  Add Stamen Toner Lite
  6.  Run "Random points in extent" from Processing Panel
a. Use Canvas Extent
b. 10 Points
c. Target CRS: 3857 (also tried outputing to 4326, same results)
d. [Create temporary layer]
  7.  Runs fine, produces expected random points
  8.  Run v.voronoi tool on resulting random points
a. Use Map Canvas Extent
b. All else=default
c. Save to temp
  9.  Fails with the error, below
  10. ReRun with option to save random points to point.shp produces the same error.
  11. Identical results for 40+ students,using LTR
  12. Repeat exact steps with fresh LTR, including deleting the User Profile
  13. same results, exactly.
  14. Nightly Build doesn't load the GRASS Provider, at all.
