Description

Hello,

on 2.12.0-Lyon, trying to load a python script via GUI (Python console -> show editor -> open file), I do not get the file selection window but this error:

An error has occured while executing Python code: 

TypeError: QFileDialog.getOpenFileNames(QWidget parent=None, QString caption=QString(), QString directory=QString(), QString filter=QString(), QString selectedFilter=None, QFileDialog.Options options=0): argument 3 has unexpected type 'QDir' 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/qgis/python/console/console.py", line 639, in openScriptFile
    self, openFileTr, lastDirPath, "Script file (*.py)")
TypeError: QFileDialog.getOpenFileNames(QWidget parent=None, QString caption=QString(), QString directory=QString(), QString filter=QString(), QString selectedFilter=None, QFileDialog.Options options=0): argument 3 has unexpected type 'QDir'

I don't know why this was not happening before, anyway c866dcc fixes the problem.

as workaround you can run the following in the console:

from PyQt4.QtCore import QSettings, QDir
settings = QSettings()
settings.setValue("pythonConsole/lastDirPath", QDir.homePath())

Salvatore, the workaround above fixed permanently the problem. thanks! alessandro

Hello,
I have the same problem (on Mac OS 10.11.1 with Qgis 2.12.0 from kyngchaos), but the workaround does not work for me, it just changes the error to a quite similar one:

2015-11-03T11:13:37 1 Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/python/console/console.py", line 639, in openScriptFile
self, openFileTr, lastDirPath, "Script file (*.py)")
TypeError: QFileDialog.getOpenFileNames(QWidget parent=None, QString caption=QString(), QString directory=QString(), QString filter=QString(), QString selectedFilter=None, QFileDialog.Options options=0): argument 3 has unexpected type 'QPyNullVariant'

Is there another workaround?
Best,

Rémi
