Description
A QgsVectorLayer object has wkbType() function that return geometry wkb type of layer. But this enum (http://qgis.org/api/classQGis.html#a8da456870e1caec209d8ba7502cceff7) does not contain all geometry types... For example I clicked add vector button than selected a KML file that contains multiple layer. QGIS showed me the dialog for selecting vector layers. It showed me layer names, feature counts and geometry types. One of the layer geometry type was LineString25D. I choosed it and added to canvas. Than I opened Python console in QGIS and checked the layers wkb type with this code:
iface.activeLayer().wkbType()
it must return 9. Because of enum (wkbType) declared in here http://qgis.org/api/classQGis.html#a8da456870e1caec209d8ba7502cceff7 but it returned me -2147483646
