Description

Description

QGIS makes a hard crash when the createInstance() method calls a non-existent constructor in a python processing script class (QgsProcessingAlgorithm).

This is an easy error to make after creating a new script from a template.

Reproduction

Steps:
  • Create a new script in the Processing Toolbox using 'Create New Script from Template...'
  • Rename class ExampleProcessingAlgorithm to anything else (such as MyProcessingAlgorithm). Leave reference to ExampleProcessingAlgorithm() in createInstance().
  • Save template script
  • Execute script by double-clicking it in Scripts/Example scripts/My script
  • ':( QGIS Crashed' dialog

Result

Crash ID: 4e33457d15a27ee43b8270be864ceb43b1208535
