Hi Germán,

options.actionOnExistingFile = QgsVectorFileWriter.AppendToLayerNoNewFields

Was the key. Thanks !

Bonjour Sylvain,

J'espère que vous allez bien.


If you want to append features from a source layer to another layer that already exists in a GPKG file, you can do this:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
options = QgsVectorFileWriter.SaveVectorOptions()
options.driverName = "GPKG"
options.layerName = "my_existing_layer_name"  # Write here the existing layer name in the GPKG
options.actionOnExistingFile = QgsVectorFileWriter.AppendToLayerNoNewFields
options.onlySelectedFeatures = True

path = "/tmp/existing_gpkg_file_path.gpkg"
layer = QgsVectorLayer("/tmp/my_source_layer.shp", "my source layer name", "ogr")

result = QgsVectorFileWriter.writeAsVectorFormatV3(
    layer,
    path,  # Existing GPKG file path
    layer.transformContext(),
    options)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


If on the contrary, you want to append a whole layer (with its own field structure, crs, etc.) to an existing GPKG database, you can follow this solution:

https://gis.stackexchange.com/a/417950


As you can see, the key is to define the options.actionOnExistingFile property, whose possible values are well documented here:

https://api.qgis.org/api/3.28/classQgsVectorFileWriter.html#afda86eff21ac1da7dc42cbdde424acb1


Note: SInce we're using writeAsVectorFormatV3(), you need at least QGIS v3.20 for this solution to work.


Regards,

Germán

Hi dev and users

I don’t understand how to append an existing gpkg layer with pyqgis.
I’ve tried many QgsVectorFileWriter options

self.options.actionOnExistingFile = QgsVectorFileWriter.CreateOrOverwriteLayer

reset final layer

And
self.options.EditionCapability = QgsVectorFileWriter.CanAppendToExistingLayer

does not change anything

So what’s the good way to do this ?

This is my code (I’m iterating over several other data sources)
        self.options = QgsVectorFileWriter.SaveVectorOptions()
        self.options.driverName = 'GPKG'
        self.options.onlySelectedFeatures = True
        self.options.layerName = 'parcelles'

        for dir in dirs:
            print(dir)

            if os.path.isdir(dir):
                db_GPKG = os.path.join(dir, 'MAEC2023.gpkg')
                if os.path.exists(db_GPKG):
                    gpkg_layer = db_GPKG + "|layername=parcelles"
                    RPG_layer = QgsVectorLayer(gpkg_layer, "RPG", "ogr")

                    expr = (' "fk_mesure" is not null ')
                    #expr = ('"fk_mesure" = \'{}\'').format('MAEC Papillons')

                    RPG_layer.selectByExpression(expr)
                    selected_feature = RPG_layer.selectedFeatures()
                    print(len(selected_feature))
                    if os.path.exists(self.db_GPKG): # if the ouput file already exist
                        self.options.actionOnExistingFile = QgsVectorFileWriter.CreateOrOverwriteLayer
                        #self.options.actionOnExistingFile = QgsVectorFileWriter.AppendToLayerNoNewFields
                        #self.options.actionOnExistingFile = QgsVectorFileWriter.AppendToLayerAddFields
                        self.options.EditionCapability = QgsVectorFileWriter.CanAppendToExistingLayer
                    else:
                        self.options.actionOnExistingFile = QgsVectorFileWriter.CreateOrOverwriteFile

                    write_result, error_message = QgsVectorFileWriter.writeAsVectorFormatV2(RPG_layer, self.db_GPKG , self.context, self.options)



Thanks
