Bug report #13170
Updated by Alessandro Pasotti almost 6 years ago
this seems an issue at least since 2011, calling layer.dataProvider().setDataSourceURI(.....) has no effect on an existing layer.
The problem is that the URI is parsed in the ctor and never re-parsed, I think we should decide if the method has to be deprecated and used internally or fix it.
I would like to hear the opinion of the other devs about what is happening in the other data providers (does setDataSourceURI works as advertised?) and if are there any other approaches that could be taken to solve the issue.
