Bug report #19038

Objects queried by QuickOSM are not automatically saved in project file and lost when re-starting QGIS (3)

Added by Sebastian Ernst almost 6 years ago. Updated over 5 years ago.

Status:Closed
Priority:Low
Assignee:-
Category:Vectors
Affected QGIS version:3.0.1 Regression?:No
Operating System:Linux Easy fix?:No
Pull Request or Patch supplied:No Resolution:fixed/implemented
Crashes QGIS or corrupts data:Yes Copied to github as #:26868

Description

Reproducible in the following environments

  • QGIS 3.0.1 on openSUSE Leap 15 + QuickOSM 1.6.1
  • QGIS 3.0.3 on Linux Mint 18.3 + QuickOSM 1.6.1

Steps to reproduce

  • Start QGIS 3
  • Menu: Project > New
  • Menu: Web > QuickMapServices > OSM > OSM Standart [optional step for OSM background tiles]
  • Menu: Vector > Quick OSM > QickOSM
  • Set query parameters to: {key: leisure, value: park, in: Leipzig}
  • Run query ...
  • Result so far: 3 new layers (with 599, 98 and 128 objects)
  • Menu: Project > Save as ... "test.qgs"
  • Menu: Project > Quit QGIS
  • At this point, QGIS will ask: "Save current project?" I chose "Save".
  • Start QGIS again
  • Open "test.qgs" - all three new layers exist, but they contain ZERO objects

Workaround?

After saving the project and before closing QGIS, save every new layer as a geo package. This way, I at least do not loose the polygons although the layers created by QuickOSM will be empty after re-starting QGIS.

Question

Is is a bug in QuickOSM or QGIS or both? Or is this some sort of new intended behavior in QGIS 3?

For reference, I also filed an issue against QuickOSM: https://github.com/3liz/QuickOSM/issues/115

I understand that. Given the above description, I do not know who is at fault. Is it QGIS or is it the plugin? The plugin fetches the objects - only. QGIS fails to save them to disk.

The plugin creates memory layer. QGIS is not able to save memory layer. I agree QGIS should have a warning when we save this kind of layers.

  • Priority changed from Normal to Low

Lowering priority for now, I think it should be closed in favor of opening an issue against the plugin.

It's not QuickOSM fault. It's stated in the UI, in the advanced panel, when you execute the query: "save to temporary files".
It's exactly the same behavior with QGIS Processing creating temporary layers.

QGIS should display a warning when we save a QGS project and:
- layers are stored in the temporary folder (/tmp etc)
- layers are in memory (source: Point?crs=EPSG:4326&field=full_id:.....&uid={2e18cdf3-f07b-42be-9911-e5d01584da57} )
