[Qgis-developer] WMS provider: Cannot calculate extent

Hi Pedro,

Thanks for the answer, it worked.

I guess my question now is, why do we have a cache on the GetCapabilities request? I guess some WMS servers provide a rather large response and the fast lookup in a (how old?) cache is preferred in many situations – at least when you know the capabilities haven’t changed.

But I don’t think this is user friendly at all. If I clear the cache, I get a new capabilities response which works. But I have to know, that it is the Settings/Options/Network/Cache Settings I have to clear (which doesn’t specify that it will clear the WMS capabilities and the user don’t know that it is cached). Wouldn’t it be better with a clear cache option for the given WMS server selection? This way the user can clear the cache if something doesn’t work or a newly published layer is missing, and the user can do it where the problem is occurred.

Regards, Casper

Hi Casper,
Just clean the WMS cache on QGIS: Settings -> Options -> Network -> Cache settings -> clear
Best regards,

I have a strange situation. I host two different WMS layers on an internal GeoServer 2.8.2 (type is ImagePyramid) and both layers look fine when previewing them in the GeoServer Layer Preview. I use QGIS Master x64 (latest nightly build from OSGeo4w) to access the layers.
One of them gets added to the map the other one doesn’t and give me the following message:

WMS provider: Cannot calculate extent
(..\..\..\..\..\..\src\providers\wms\qgswmsprovider.cpp : 148 : QgsWmsProvider::QgsWmsProvider)
Raster layer: Provider is not valid (provider: wms, URI: contextualWMSLegend=0&crs=EPSG:25832&dpiMode=7&featureCount=10&format=image/png&layers=myns:layer_not_working&styles=&url=http://myserver:8080/geoserver/wms
(..\..\..\..\..\src\core\raster\qgsrasterlayer.cpp : 668 : QgsRasterLayer::setDataProvider)

By sniffing the GetCapabilities request sent by QGIS using Fiddler, I get the following two layer definitions in return:

I have anonymized the messages above (since the error doesn’t point in the direction of naming) and I can of course provide more information if needed.
