Description

The check geometry tool doesn't report features without any points...

The Buffer_problem_result shape file in attachment can help to reproduce...

PS: tested in versions 1.8 an 1.7.4

I see your point, but the "Check geometry validity" tool does what it advertise, it checks if the geometries are right or wrong. In this case you have a vector with a few records in the table of attributes with no geometries associated, and this is admitted (or am I wrong?). Please reopen if necessary.

Sorry.. wrong ticket

Please, can you attach some dataset to reproduce the bug?

the sample is attached to this ticket.

One layer is the input for a negative buffer operation. As a few features are smaller than then buffer distance, then they disappear, but the records in the table of attributes are not deleted. the resulting vector is then inconsistent, as it has records in the table of attributes but no geometry associated.

This issue has been described in another ticket.

This ticket is invalid anyway because the tool do checks the validity of existing features, does not check the validity of non existing ones :)

Sorry I posted this message in a wrong ticket..

I looked it up, and indeed a null polygon is valid according to the specs of the shapefile format.

So indeed not a bug, but normal behaviour.

ok good to know, anyway I think that the buffer tool should delete the records of non existing polygons when it comes to negative buffers. Daniel posted a patch for this.

The "ftools" category is being removed from the tracker, changing the category of this ticket to "Processing/QGIS" to not leave the category orphaned.
