Description

User Feedback

I ran the following Python script and QGIS crashed:

from qgis.core import *
import processing

  1. supply path to qgis install location
    QgsApplication.setPrefixPath("C:/Program Files/QGIS 3.4", True)
  1. create a reference to the QgsApplication
  2. setting the second argument to True enables the GUI, which we need
  3. to do since this is a custom application

qgs = QgsApplication([], True)

  1. load providers
    qgs.initQgis()
  1. Write your code here to load some layers, use processing
  2. algorithms, etc.
  1. load layers
    iface.addVectorLayer("J:/GIS/Projects/TCARTA/00_CandidatePack/London_Major_roads_6m_buffer_32631.shp","Roads","ogr")
    iface.addVectorLayer("J:/GIS/Projects/TCARTA/00_CandidatePack/input/London_Moving_Vehicles_Image1_32631.shp", "Moving_Vehicles_Image1", "ogr")
    iface.addVectorLayer("J:/GIS/Projects/TCARTA/00_CandidatePack/input/London_Moving_Vehicles_Image2_32631.shp", "Moving_Vehicles_Image2", "ogr")
    iface.addVectorLayer("J:/GIS/Projects/TCARTA/00_CandidatePack/input/London_Static_Vehicles_Image1_32631.shp", "Static_Vehicles_Image1", "ogr")
    iface.addVectorLayer("J:/GIS/Projects/TCARTA/00_CandidatePack/input/London_Static_Vehicles_Image2_32631.shp", "Static_Vehicles_Image2", "ogr")
  1. When your script is complete, call exitQgis() to remove the
  2. provider and layer registries from memory
    qgs.exitQgis()

  • Resolution set to invalid
  • Status changed from Open to Closed

It's not possible to use "iface" from a standalone script, since there's no interface existing. You need to avoid using that API in your script.

Followup questions are better suited to gis.stackexchange.com, as this isn't a bug.
