Loading the WMS layer from a 2.6.1 project or directly in master works fine for me. The legend GetLegendGraphics request is:

http://www.gis-schweich.de/service_schweich_on/mod_wms/wms_getmap.php?mapfile=07235015&&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&SLD_VERSION=1.1.0&REQUEST=GetLegendGraphic&FORMAT=image/png&LAYER=BPLAN.07235015&STYLE=

The server response is:

<ServiceExceptionReport version="1.1.1"><ServiceException code="LayerNotDefined">
msWMSGetLegendGraphic(): WMS server error. Invalid layer given in the LAYER parameter.
</ServiceException></ServiceExceptionReport>

although the request looks good to me and corresponds to the layer name used in the working GetMap request:

http://www.gis-schweich.de/service_schweich_on/mod_wms/wms_getmap.php?mapfile=07235015&&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&BBOX=6.83373245779695715,49.8168997392995152,6.86000248737879126,49.82823769654798696&SRS=EPSG:4326&WIDTH=1513&HEIGHT=653&LAYERS=BPLAN.07235015&STYLES=&FORMAT=image/png&DPI=96&MAP_RESOLUTION=96&FORMAT_OPTIONS=dpi:96&TRANSPARENT=TRUE

Confirm, that the composer entries make the trouble.
But it is not a delay! When you open projects created with release 2.6 or < which contains composer items with Release 2.8 or in dev, QGIS stop working, no menue is available and you can only close QGIS click on the "cross bar" in the program window.

We are a little city civil-administration and have many projects with complex composer items. It would not be a good idea to remove all composer items.

Ist there another solution possible?

I added as watcher of this ticket the developer that made the bulk of the work on the composer lately, maybe he could try to figure where is the real source of the issue.

Is the status "Feedback" ok?

I agree.
Proposal for new title:
QGIS freeze, using a project from previous version with composer entries when adding a wms layer

Please test with latest dev version and let me know if this is now fixed

Hi Nyall,

it just updated to the latest master (nightly build repo for Ubuntu) and I can't see any difference.The attached project with composers take a lot of time to load (so much you can call it a freeze), without composers it opens very quickly.

Then the issues seems the same as above:

• in the project without composer (I removed them manually from the .qgs file) add a layer from (example)

http://www.gis-schweich.de/service_schweich_on/mod_wms/wms_getmap.php?mapfile=07235015

and then save/load the project is quick

• add a composer (first issue: before the composer window show it takes several seconds)
• save the empty layout
• close project and load it again... delay... in this case it does not freeze, but as soon you add things to the layout the delay become bigger and bigger.

Tested it on windows with QGIS-dev, rev. 733b7c9.
Problem exist further

Hi Giovanni,
is it possible to change the status after the feedback?
Thanks

Tested QGIS-Codeversion 06732f1 without success

Testing the problem in detail show, that following elements in the composers make the stress:

- Expression in a Textfield with the content: Druckdatum: [% format_date( $now , 'dd.MM.yyyy')%]
- Legenditems

When you delete these elements in the composers, save the project again and then you can add wms-layers fine.

Hi Giovanni,
when you add a legend in composer again, the poblem is back again.
The issue schould be solved in 2.10.

Please change the target version to 2.10
Thanks

Gerhard

Tested the problem with a newly creates Project in 2.90, rev. e8587c3.
If a legend elemet is added to any composer in the newly created Project, then QGis freeze, when you add a WMS-Layer.

I think, this is a blocker for for the 2.10 Release and also the 2.8LTR.

Confirm, that the missing legend-grafic in wms seems to lead to freeze QGIS, when a legend-element is in a composer.
Unfortunately, WebMapServices are verry often not porber configured in legend-grafic.

QGIS should handle this, without freezing!
Until Version 2.6, this was no problem an QGIS handled it.

Is it possible to solve this problem in 2.10?
Verry much Thanks

Gerhard

Hello Giovanni,
should we change
-the title to
"QGIs freeze, adding a wms layer with missing legend grafic and any composer contains a legend"
-categorie to
"Map Composer/Printing"
-Target Version to
Version 2.10

Thanks

Hello Giovanni,

we corrected our wms serverconfiguration (see #24)and can now use it with QGIS.

Unfortunately, many WMS-Services have the legend-grafic fault. We have no influence to the sercices.
Samples are in the attached "wms_without_legend_grafic.jpg".

Is it possible to solve the problem in 2.10?

Thanks

Gerhard

Hi,
I listed this ticket among the ones I suggest to urgently solve in the bug fixing effort pre-release.

Please also raise this matter on the developers list.

Hi,
how can i do this and bring the issue it to the developpers list?

Thanks
Gerhard
