Description

In QGIS Server 2 the QGIS server exposed LAYER groups as well as the top level as 'queryable="1"'.

In QGIS Server 2 one could also submit a LAYER group or the TOP level as LAYER in the GetFeatureInfo request. I think this was fine according to the standards, as layer groups and top levels are also LAYERs.

In QGIS Server 3 both don't work anymore:
  • LAYER groups and top level LAYER elements do not include the queryable="1"
  • even if the user/machine provides a top level or group LAYER in the GetFeatureInfo request, QGIS server does not respond to such queries

Here is one QGIS server (3.6) WMS service:

  • Status changed from Open to In Progress

Digging into this now, the issues is triggered by a DD expression on the symbol size based on map scale, which is of course not available in getlegendgraphics calls because there is no map and no canvas.

I need to think about what would be the best approach in this case.
