[Qgis-developer] Mapserver Exporter Bug?

[John C. Tull]

Mauricio,

I get the following error now, but this may be related to some layers  
with no names because a partial file is being written. Let me play  
some more...

An error has occured while executing Python code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/jctull/.qgis//python/plugins/mapserver_export/ 
mapserverexport.py", line 94, in run
   result = exporter.writeMapFile()
  File "/Users/jctull/.qgis//python/plugins/mapserver_export/ 
ms_export.py", line 101, in writeMapFile
   self.writeMapLayers()
  File "/Users/jctull/.qgis//python/plugins/mapserver_export/ 
ms_export.py", line 283, in writeMapLayers
   self.outFile.write("  NAME '" +  
lyr.getElementsByTagName("layername") 
[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue.encode('utf-8').replace("\"", "") + "'\n")
IndexError: list index out of range

Ok, this is because there were some layers (rasters) that had no name.  
When I drag and drop rasters, they come in with no name, but I place  
them in a group folder, so never change them. This led to the above  
problem.
