Description

A regression emerged recently under QGIS master wheras the rule-based symbology will fail to render anything if one of its rules has no filter set (i.e. shows as (no filter) in the rules list).

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Create a new project
  2. Add a layer (large polygons will do best)
  3. Open the layer property, and set the symbology to rule-based
  4. Make sure that the single rule has no filter
  5. Apply, and see all the features gone

hm - still fails for my data.

Attached you find some data and a qml file. If you load it, the rule labeled "Unterirdisches Gebäude, Reservoir" (which is a "no filter" rule) only displays if the two other rules are off.

Seems like before 1d7a6a4 things still work ok.

So there must be some new bug in 1d7a6a4 and it seems like abf2398 doesn't fix my problem.

I can confirm that this issue still exists in today's OSGeo4W qgis-dev.

it works if you nest the two rules (Gestrichelt2 and Punktiert) into the Unterirdisches Gebaude, which I believe would be the logical structure.

Thanks Denis for the hint. It may work in this particular case.

However - quite often the individual rules can't be nested as they have nothing to do with each other. I also have several projects and layers that I would have to change. Quite time consuming.

It is also a bit annoying if old content breaks because of a change in behaviour.
