Bug report #406

Copy selected attributes crashes with PostGIS layer

Added by Colin-Reed-nrico-com-au - about 18 years ago. Updated over 15 years ago.

Status:Closed
Priority:Low

Category:Vectors
Affected QGIS version: Regression?:No

Pull Request or Patch supplied: Resolution:fixed
Crashes QGIS or corrupts data: Copied to github as #:10465

Description

Using 0.8.0 preview 2 on Ubuntu 6.06.

I selected some features from a PostGIS layer, opened the attribute table, then tried to copy the selected records to the clipboard. QGIS crashed with a segmentation fault. Happens with all PostGIS layers points, lines or areas.

Works OK with the shapefile of the same layer.

#1 Updated by Gavin Macaulay - about 18 years ago

Works for me with latest svn. Are you able to try the svn version of qgis?

Does anyone else have this problem?

#2 Updated by anonymous - about 18 years ago

Replying to [comment:2 g_j_m]:
I'll give it a go and let you know.

I checked out revision 6146, but couldn't get it to compile:

Colin,

Your Qt version seems to be < 4.2 (the current minimum version for QGIS)

Thanks Marco,

I had 4.1.2. It took me a while to figure out how to get 4.2 installed into the right places, but I finally got the latest svn compiled succesfully.

Unfortunately, still the same result! Crash and segmentation fault when i hit the copy button.

When I selected the PostGIS layer I got a few error dialogs saying:

Could not open SRS database /resources/srs.db
Error(14): unable to open database file

but it plotted OK. Selected a single line feature, opened the attribute table, moved the selected feature to the top, clicked the copy button:

BTW PostGIS is v 1.1.6 and postgresql is 8.1.5

Thanks,

Can you attach a backtrace?

This is from strace (tail end)- is this OK?

A backtrace would be better. Something like this should work:

tcsh
limit coredumpsize unlimited
qgis
gdb /path/to/qgis core.XXXXX
bt

where core.XXXXX is the name of the coredump file that is generated when qgis crashed. The first 10 or 15 lines from the bt command are all that are required.

Thanks for that. I haven't done this before.

#10 Updated by Gavin Macaulay - about 18 years ago

A potential fix is available in svn 49658807 (SVN r6167).

If you're able to checkout and compile up the latest qgis, please do so and see if the problem has been fixed.

The backtrace suggests that some of the geometries in the postgres database are empty.

#11 Updated by Colin-Reed-nrico-com-au - about 18 years ago

OK, that stops it from crashing, but I don't think there should be any null geometries. I checked in PostGIS by selecting where the_geom is null and it didn't find any. I selected a single feature from the map then copied from the attribute table and had a NULL as the geometry for that record, but it is plotting on the screen so it shouldn't be null.

After a bit of experimentation I found that if I selected a feature and it came up with a null geometry, if I inverted the selection, then inverted it again, it worked OK and the geometry showed up in the pasted text.

Maybe it's not talking to Postgis properly when it's initially fetching the geometries? The null shows up as the first record in each case and it seems in each case that the null's appear there is a warning message about a transaction already in progress:

#12 Updated by anonymous - about 18 years ago

The NULL in the copied text is something I made qgis put in when it finds an empty geometry, but real problem is why qgis gets an empty geometry in the first place. I'll look some more.

#13 Updated by anonymous - about 18 years ago

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

Fixed in svn . Thanks for the backtrace and debugging messages, Colin - they allowed me to work out how to reproduce the problem and hence fix it.

#14 Updated by Colin-Reed-nrico-com-au - about 18 years ago

The fix works fine for me too.

Thanks!
