Description

When I try to view an attribute table of a shapefile feature, Qgis 0.8 preview 2 crash silently.
It appear with Qgis's Alaska sample dataset and other shapfiles I have.

It's strange because the first time I ran Qgis after download it, things worked fine.
I tried to edit an attribute, it worked. But after the save, when I ask the feature for attributes, Qgis crashed. Now, Qgis crash every time I try to view an attribute table.

History

#1 Updated by Gavin Macaulay - about 18 years ago

Try preview 3 when it's released. A recent changes may have fixed this (c1b91990 (SVN r5993)).

#2 Updated by Gavin Macaulay - about 18 years ago

Please try the windows version at http://qgis.org/uploadfiles/testbuilds/. My testing indicates that this problem has been resolved.

#3 Updated by lrntct-gmail-com - about 18 years ago

I've tested with the last link version. Qgis crash when I try to load a shapefile. Windows display a dialog box saying :
"QGis as gererated errors... An error log is being created."

Works for me. Can you attach the shapefile?

#5 Updated by anonymous - about 18 years ago

I've tested with the Alaska dataset.

#6 Updated by Martin Dobias about 18 years ago

Does it crash for any shapefile or just some shapefiles?

What about other backends - e.g. delimited text or GPX provider - does opening attribute table crash also with them?

Using original Alaska shapefile crashes QGIS also?

Please try to specify the problem with as much details as possible to allow as to narrow down the possible reasons of the crash.

The best would be if you installed Dr. Mingw and provided us with backtrace of the crash.

I've just downloaded latest build here :
http://qgis.org/uploadfiles/testbuilds/

I can't even load a file, raster or vector, Qgis crash. Dr. Mingw give the following :

qgis.exe caused an Access Violation at location 02787b42 in module proj.dll Writing to location 3d726968.

Registers:

With a older version of Qgis (compiled with Qt4.1), I can load a vector, but when I try to view the attribute table, qgis crash silently, no reaction from Dr. Mingw. It do the same with differents shp files. The Alaska Qgis dataset make qgis crash too.
A gpx file from GPS is working, though.

Ummm, this is tough. It seems that crash is happening in Proj4 library... I have two ideas for now:

- try using proj4 library from FWTools (http://fwtools.maptools.org/) I think you'll need to rename it from proj_fw.dll to proj.dll and copy to QGIS directory

- try using QGIS debug version - maybe something interesting will be reported to console

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

This can't be duplicated -- I suspect it may be due to a library conflict or multiple versions of DLLs that aren't playing nicely. Try deleting old Qt and all QGIS versions from your machine and doing a clean install of QGIS.

I'm closing this bug. You can reopen it if the problem persists in the upcoming preview 3 release and you can provide more details to troubleshoot it.
