Bug report #8736

Update raster analyses: access data through raster layer instead of GDAL

Added by Paolo Cavallini about 11 years ago. Updated almost 6 years ago.

Pull Request or Patch supplied:No Resolution:fixed/implemented
Crashes QGIS or corrupts data:No Copied to github as #:17451

Description

This affects various modules, e.g. Terrain analyses. This is bad also because they cannot deal with WCS layers, and users are not warned about this.

#2 Updated by Paolo Cavallini almost 8 years ago

Tested with:

after:

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/4062

but I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/src/qgis/QGIS/build_qgis3/output/python/plugins/processing/gui/AlgorithmDialog.py", line 151, in accept
    if checkCRS and not self.alg.checkInputCRS():

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'crs'

That's correct behavior for now. While native zonal statistics was adopted to access raster data via dataprovider, Processing itself still allows only rasters loaded with GDAL provider, because almost all algorithms can work only with local files.

As temporary workaround you can use PyQGIS in Python console if necessary.

Thanks for the explanation. However, the unusable layer probably shouldn't show up in the list, to prevent the difficult-to-understand error for the user.

#5 Updated by Giovanni Manghi over 7 years ago

  • Regression? set to No
  • Easy fix? set to No

#6 Updated by Paolo Cavallini almost 7 years ago

Still true in QGIS 3

#7 Updated by Giovanni Manghi almost 7 years ago

  • Affected QGIS version changed from 2.0.1 to 3.0.0

Please update the affected version.

#8 Updated by Nyall Dawson almost 6 years ago

  • Resolution set to fixed/implemented
  • Status changed from Open to Closed

This is basically fixed now -- the native QGIS algorithms use raster layer API directly, and GDAL algorithms cannot use QgsRasterLayer (which isn't part of GDAL api)
