Description

This is kind of weird error because it does not show in all installations and does not depends on the operating system (seen on Windows and as well on Linux). It has also been observed in completely clean systems and installations, possibly excluding local issues.

The error is

#1 Updated by Claas Leiner about 7 years ago

I have observed the same error. With different data and with different installations under Linux Ubuntu 16.04 with ubuntugis dependencies. In previous 2.18 releases, the error did not occur! I do not know, in which 2.18.x it still worked.

In a QGIS-Installation from May 2017 in the
clip.py I find in Line 98 - 101

if single_clip_feature:
                total = 100.0 / len(input_features)
            else:
                total = 0

In this time Clip runs korrekt.

In qgis 2.18.13 Line 08 - 101:

if single_clip_feature:
                total = 100.0 / len(features) if len(features) > 0 else 1
            else:
                total = 0
clip don't run

I am still getting this global name 'features' is not defined error message when trying to run the QGIS clip tool in QGIS 2.18.13 on Windows 8.1 machine. I have re-run the OSGEO4W installer (custom install), and selected reinstall 2.18.13. Deleted QGIS2 folder and restarted. The problem still persists.

the patch is not in 2.18.13, will be in .14
