Mapserver exports layer with wrong type

[oz123]

Hi, I tried exporting a qgis project with a few vector layer to mapserver file. The result is pretty impressive but something unexpected happened: All POLYGON layers are exported as POINT TYPE layers.

I looked at the code for ms_export.py and from what what I see I think the method lyr.getAttribute does not return the right type, so they all become POINT types.

I tried looking into lyr.getAttribute, but couldn't find where it is. I hope this is not just a false bug, and I hope I can help solving it, if someone directs me a bit to the right function lyr.getAttribute (if it's written in python i can handle it better, but c++ will be fine too.)

Thanks, Oz.

It would be helpful if you can attach your QGIS project file.

Replying to gsherman:

It would be helpful if you can attach your QGIS project file.

Just try with any project file containg a polygon or line shapefile.

ok I attached my project file. Sorry for the late reply, it has all type of layers: point, line, polygon and raster.

Soory, that is a file with only two polygon layers. The funny thing is that they are displayed on my screen as polygons but when I look in the specs of the file the are point type .... so that's obviously wrong ...

This is a bug in the qgis project writing code, not the mapserver export. The geometry type is always set to Point.

Projects saved on OS X result in same issue.
