Description

Try something like

l = QgsVectorLayer("crs=EPSG:3857&format&type=xyz&url=http://b.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png&zmax=18&zmin=0", "wms", "wms")

It kabooms in QgsVectorLayer::setDataProvider, when calling updateFields()

Observed with qgis 2.18 and 2.99

Adding this XYZ layer works fine with the browser

Shouldn't that be QgsRasterLayer?

Of course it is ... !

Works correctly with a QgsRasterLayer, thanks. I did not get enough coffee this morning apparently ... :/

What is a bit confusing is that it does not immediately return and says the provider is unknown. I guess this is because "wms" is also a raster provider.

  • Pull Request or Patch supplied changed from No to Yes
  • Resolution deleted (invalid)

Not fixable due to this cast: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/src/core/qgsvectorlayer.cpp#L1538
I don't know the reason why the dynamic cast was removed, but maybe time to re-introduce it
