[gdal-dev] layer.GetSpatialRef() fails on linux for shapefiles

[Jonathan Moules]

Yeah, I'm afraid the error message is pretty much non-existent:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
       File
    "/home/name/Code/DSHub/PoC/Extract-Transform-Load-POC/Metadata/AME/src/info_vector.py",
    line 119, in get_layer_metadata
         tmp_projection = layer.GetSpatialRef()
                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
       File
    "/home/name/anaconda3/envs/AME_env/lib/python3.11/site-packages/osgeo/ogr.py",
    line 1990, in GetSpatialRef
         return _ogr.Layer_GetSpatialRef(self, *args)
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    RuntimeError


Suggestions welcome.
