Description

Hello,

I am trying to create a multipolygon shapefile using QgsVectorFileWriter with the following code in python console:

import qgis.core as qgisCore
from PyQt5.QtCore import QVariant
crs = qgisCore.QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem("epsg:4326")
fields = qgisCore.QgsFields()
fN = "field" 
fields.append(qgisCore.QgsField(fN, QVariant.Int))
outputVector = '/home/user/Desktop/vector.shp'
qgisCore.QgsVectorFileWriter(str(outputVector), "CP1250", fields,
qgisCore.QgsWkbTypes.MultiPolygon, crs, "ESRI Shapefile")
v = qgisCore.QgsVectorLayer(outputVector, "vector", "ogr")
v.wkbType()

The type returns 3, which is not multipolygon, and I can't add a multipolygon to the layer.

Am I missing something?

Thank you.
