Description

it would be nice to have test to ensure following options work OK:

- alternative plugin paths set in environnement variable.
- configpath options to move profile AND/OR settings to another location.

Those tests should ensure that everything goes well with Windows file names (spaces, slash vs backslash, special encoded character in username)

What I understand from the demand is:
  • for alternative plugin paths
    • checking, if the environment variable QGIS_PLUGINPATH exists, that the directory $QGIS_PLUGINPATH exists and is readable
  • for config path
    • running qgis --configpath $TEST_DIR
    • checking that $TEST_DIR/qgis.db has been created
  • for settings
    • running --optionspath $TEST_DIR
    • checking that $TEST_DIR/QGIS/QGIS2.ini has been created

Regis, can you please tell me if this is what you had in mind ?

Pull request submitted :
https://github.com/qgis/Quantum-GIS/pull/749

A new unit test is added that tests QGIS_PLUGINPATH, --configpath and --optionspath

Two character encoding issues have been found :
  • in main.cpp
  • in the way python plugin paths are parsed

The only missing part is whether this new test (PyQgsAppStartup) works correctly on MacOSX.
Larry, do you think you could have a look and tell me if it fails ?

  • Target version changed from Version 2.0.0 to Future Release - High Priority

Hi Hugo,

I have made some changes to the test. See pull request (as patch). Please review.

These are the issues I had on Mac (see commit message as well):

  • Test directories needed to be created first
  • Subdirectory for .ini file is "qgis.org" on Mac

I have not tested on Win or Linux (will next week).
