Description

I am creating some netCDF files with more than 1 band using GDAL (2.4.1).

The created files (an example file in attachment) works fine in QGIS 2.18 (and other GIS apps), but I get the following errors with QGIS 3+ (ltr, dev, etc.) on OSGEO4W64:

2019-04-07T16:16:16     CRITICAL    Invalid Layer : Raster layer Provider is not valid (provider: gdal, URI: C:/gdal.nc
2019-04-07T16:16:16     CRITICAL    Invalid Data Source : C:/gdal.nc is not a valid or recognized data source.

If I create a netCDF file with just 1 band (example attached), QGIS 3+ reads the file smoothly.

This issue may be related to #20921, #20980 and #21648

it works as expected here: when you d&d the 3 band raster on the canvas a dialog shows asking what band you want to load. You must select at least one. If you don't select any band then you gets the error.

#2 Updated by giu mas almost 5 years ago

I have attempted the same process (d&d the 3 band raster) on different Windows machines.

The result is always the same error (screenshot attached).

Are you running QGIS as it comes from OSGEO4W64? Or do you have active some dev-specific settings? This would explain why it works on your machine.

I tried on Linux (Ubuntu 18.04). You should also do (I can't test on Windows right now), so we can say if the problem is platform dependent.
It could also depend on the version of GDAL being used.

#4 Updated by giu mas almost 5 years ago

My Ubuntu 18.04 steps:

- Download the latest OSGeoLive (12) VM.
- Update the software repositories with https://qgis.org/ubuntu-nightly.
- Install QGIS: sudo apt-get install qgis python3-qgis qgis-plugin-grass
- Drag and drop gdal_3bands.nc.

Unfortunately, I got the same error:

Unfortunately, I got the same error (attached).

what is the GDAL version used (you see it in the QGIS "about")?

Yeah I can see it on Windows... but on Linux definitely works here.

#10 Updated by giu mas almost 5 years ago

Mmm... I disagree since it does not work on my OSGeolive VM (I can share the VM with you).

Furthermore, there are tickets on potentially the same issue:
  • #20921 (got closed for lack of feedback) on Linux
  • #21648 (waiting for feedback) on Mac

I can download myself if needed.

just saying that on my linux box(es), with that gdal version, it works.

My VM would have the issue that I am talking about. The default OSGeolive has QGSI 2.18, thus I have installed in it QGIS 3-dev (I have described my steps in a previous post.)

I am only afraid that the title modification implies that the issue has been identified as Windows-only. In reality, there is evidence of the contrary after that I have followed your suggestion to run QGIS 3-dev on Linux.
