#1 Updated by Richard Duivenvoorde over 7 years ago

  • Category changed from Unknown to PyQGIS Console
  • Subject changed from online in python console is not working on Windows environment to Help oneliner in python console is not showing all info on Windows environment

Confirmed: To be even more clear, on Linux you get more information about every method. EG:

help(iface.addVectorLayer)
Help on built-in function addVectorLayer:

addVectorLayer(...) method of qgis._gui.QgisInterface instance
    addVectorLayer(self, vectorLayerPath: str, baseName: str, providerKey: str) -> QgsVectorLayer
    Add a vector layer

While on Windows you just get:

help(iface.addVectorLayer)
Help on built-in function addVectorLayer:

addVectorLayer(...) method of qgis._gui.QgisInterface instance
    Add a vector layer

It looks like it is missing the interface line...
