[Qgis-developer] ogrLayerName in processing/tools/vector.py

[Germán Carrillo]

Hi All,


I've been studying ogrLayerName and GDAL/OGR algorithms in recent days. I
understand ogrLayerName expects a URI from QGIS layers.

One valid QGIS layer URI might be (talking about Spatialite layers):

'dbname=\'/tmp/test.sqlite\' table="test" (geometry) sql='

The PR you merged [1] made it impossible to run an OGR algorithm with a
Spatialite layer with such URI. Hence my comment to the corresponding
commit.

I'm working on another PR [2] at the moment that also deals with
ogrLayerName, so I've tested your version of ogrLayerName and adjusted it.
Now it can handle the aforementioned Spatialite layer. This is how
ogrLayerName looks right now in my local repo (that I'll be pushing into my
PR):
