#2431 closed defect (fixed)

vector_what fails with multiple layer/cat

Reported by: artegion Owned by: grass-dev@…
Priority: major Milestone: 7.0.0
Component: Vector Version: svn-releasebranch70
Keywords: query, v.what Cc:
CPU: Unspecified Platform: All

Description

in a vector with multiple cat per point (in this case Point Id=3 has 4 cats: [(layer=1, cat=311),(layer=1, cat=312),(layer=21, cat=321),(layer=2, cat=322)]

while v.what gives a correct output:

v.what -a -g map=test@cavriago layer=2 coordinates=2.0,0.0                      
East=2
North=0
Map=test
Mapset=cavriago
Type=Point
Id=3
Layer=1
Category=311
Driver=sqlite
Database=D:\GIS_db\Gauss_Boaga\cavriago\sqlite.db
Table=test1
Key_column=cat
cat=311
t1=311
t2=
Layer=1
Category=312
Driver=sqlite
Database=D:\GIS_db\Gauss_Boaga\cavriago\sqlite.db
Table=test1
Key_column=cat
cat=312
t1=312
t2=
Layer=2
Category=321
Driver=sqlite
Database=D:\GIS_db\Gauss_Boaga\cavriago\sqlite.db
Table=test2
Key_column=cat
cat=321
l2=321
l3=
Layer=2
Category=322
Driver=sqlite
Database=D:\GIS_db\Gauss_Boaga\cavriago\sqlite.db
Table=test2
Key_column=cat
cat=322
l2=322
l3=layer2

vector_what makes a mess (It returns a single dictionary mixing up first cat -> 'Category': 311, 'Layer': 1 and last cat -> 'Attributes': {'l2': '322', 'l3': 'layer2', 'cat': '322'}

from grass.script.vector import vector_what
vector_what(map='test', coord=(2.0,0.0), distance=0.0, ttype=None)
[{'Category': 311, 'Map': 'test', 'Layer': 1, 'Key_column': 'cat', 'Database': 'D:\\GIS_db\\Gauss_Boaga\\cavriago\\sqlite.db', 'Type': 'Point', 'Driver': 'sqlite', 'Table': 'test1', 'Attributes': {'l2': '322', 'l3': 'layer2', 'cat': '322'}, 'Mapset': 'cavriago', 'Id': '3'}]

This bug influences "Query result" dialog in wxGui while "Aggiornamento attributi" in vector editing works correctly.

Module v.what should output the result in a more hierarchical way, otherwise it's really difficult to parse. The grass.vector_what function was rewritten multiple times and it's still not correct. I suggest adding another format, the easiest is json, it's easy to write and python can read it too (json package). xml would be much more difficult. I already started it, I just need more time for testing.

Patch for v.what and grass.vector_what

Keywords: query v.what added
Milestone: 6.4.57.0.0

I attached a patch which adds new flag to v.what to print json and simplifies vector_what to load json. I still need to test it more but I would welcome if anyone could test it too on different types of vector data with or without attributes.

Done in r62469. Testing welcome.

Thanks for catching this, should be fixed in r62645.

Unfortunately not:

This happens on python 2.7 (see #2479), so it's a different problem. I can't reproduce this error, could you run the same query with v.what with json flag and give me the output?

Yes, it's a different problem, but also occurs with python 2.6.

The problem occurred in latlon locations, fixed in r62654.

Seems to work, and has already been backported to G7.0, closing.
