ogrinfo gives the right infos about the point vector.

v.in.ogr -f
Supported formats:
 ESRI Shapefile (rw): ESRI Shapefile
[...]
 VRT (ro): VRT
[...]

(1) the "v.in.ogr - import common formats"-GUI seems not to recognize the vrt format:

open this special GUI, insert the path to the vrt, only a shape file in this file is recognized, but not the vector vrt

(2) open v.in.ogr --ui:

v.in.ogr -l input=C:\tmp\0000402-150615163101818_senecio_carniolicus\gbif_to_gis_working.vrt output=check4

The problem is simply the path to the csv file. In your vrt you have:

<SrcDataSource>gbif_gisinput.csv</SrcDataSource>

which (IIUC) means that v.in.ogr will search for the csv file in the CWD, not in the same directory as the vrt file.

So either use an absolute path, or cd to the directory in which the two files are and then launch v.in.ogr.

Leaving the ticket open for you to confirm that this is the issue.

comment:2 by mlennert, 9 years ago

Or you can change the line to:

<SrcDataSource relativeToVRT=1>gbif_gisinput.csv</SrcDataSource>

and then it works, whatever your CWD, as long as the csv file is in the correct relative position to the vrt file (in this case in the same directory).

BTW: I have no problems using the wxgui import wizard to import this vrt. Have you made sure that the wizard file picker was not configured to only look for shapefiles ?

Replying to mlennert:

Or you can change the line to:

<SrcDataSource relativeToVRT=1>gbif_gisinput.csv</SrcDataSource>

and then it works, whatever your CWD, as long as the csv file is in the correct relative position to the vrt file (in this case in the same directory).

yes, adding relativeToVRT=1 does the trick (will change the title of the ticket)

BTW: I have no problems using the wxgui import wizard to import this vrt. Have you made sure that the wizard file picker was not configured to only look for shapefiles ?

here the vrt is recognized by the vector import wizard if I explicitely choose the vrt file.

in mode "source type: directory; format: vrt": if I enter the path to directory, only the shapefile in this folder is recognized, although vrt is defined as format.

still relevant for:
