non-cached WFS won't load

Description

Looking at the nightly build version 2.3 (2/6/2014) there seems to be an issue with the way QGIS handles non-cached WFS data.

Load the following public WFS: http://www.osmgb.org.uk/ogc/wfs-vmd

Add any of the items (tested on roads, railways, surface water), untick the "Cache" button.

The layer isn't being called and is not loading.

This works in the current standard version (2.2)

Confirmed here on Linux.

You can try using this wfs url:
http://geodata.nationaalgeoregister.nl/bag/wfs

( for some context, use this old wms: http://gdsc.nlr.nl/wms/dkln2006 )

try layer 'panden' == houses
note this is a service for whole NL (epsg:28992) serving a max of 15000 features.

WITH caching it returns those features scattered over Holland.
WITHOUT caching nothing is shown while the url used returns gml:

Testing with the wfs above.

While I think the non-cached version is now working, to me the cached version isn't working anymore.

Another issue is that if I load the same layer cached and non-cached, and try to remove them both by selecting them in de layermanager and ctrl-D QGIS crashes.

The cached version either shows nothing to me, OR just a few house (on the attached screendump green is now non-cached while the few red houses on top is exact the same layer but cached

is it working with you?

Depends how you think it should work. The cached mode loads the full layer and the non-cached mode loads the canvas (and more if you pan). Apparently the service limits the output 15000 and in cached mode you end up with a layer of 15000 cached features, while in non-cached mode you get everything from the canvas (as long as its less or equal 15000).

oops, yes. I know this.... I even wrote a blog about it... http://www.qgis.nl/2013/04/29/qgis-en-wfs-caching/

will close this issue again then....

  • Target version changed from Version 2.4 to Future Release - High Priority

Although the original issue is resolved I am now experiencing the same problem when adding a WFS layer using the Python API.

Adding a WFS layer (with iface.addVectorLayer) works without any problems when adding a cached WFS to the map canvas. However, using the BBOX parameter in the vector layer path will again add the layer to the TOC but no features are shown.

I am experiencing this problem in 2.4 and nightly build (30/06/2014).

#8 Updated by Richard Duivenvoorde over 10 years ago

can you please add the python code you are using?

Because I think this is/should contain exact the same logic

- if you add a BBOX= to your uri, it will be non-cached (using a bbox query in the wfs requests).

have a look into this:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/src/providers/wfs/qgswfsprovider.cpp#L123

try adding &BBOX=[yourmaxextent] and mCached will be set to true, and the bbox will be used

if not, I think it is worth opening a new issue, instead of making this one longer?

#9 Updated by Neil Benny over 10 years ago

I can confirm I am using the BBOX parameter in the uri:

c_extent = self.canvas.extent()
str_c_extent = c_extent.toString()
str_c_extent = str_c_extent.replace(" : ", ",")
url = site_url + "wfs.ashx?id=" + token + "&SRSNAME=EPSG:27700&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&TYPENAME=" + layer + "&BBOX=" + str_c_extent
iface.addVectorLayer(url, title, 'WFS')

printing url gives:
http://myurl.co.uk/data_services/wfs.ashx?id=lalalala~&SRSNAME=EPSG:27700&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&TYPENAME=The_Layer_I_Want&BBOX=279661.8626045954297297,692934.9235554961487651,280059.7859282681602053,693175.8901554960757494

The code I am using was working OK in 2.2.

If you can confirm I'm not making any silly mistakes I will go ahead and open a new issue.
