Description

Hi !

I'm writing a python algorithm for the processing framework allowing to export PDFs. This requires instantiating a QgsProject and accessing it's layouts without actually loading the QgsProject in the UI.

In the layouts, it seems the aggregate, layer_property and similar methods refer to the loaded QgsProject instead of the QgsProject to which the layout belongs.

I think the bug is in QgsExpressionUtils.h:341, where QgsProject.instance() is used, instead of the expression context's project.

Cheers,

Olivier
