[Qgis-user] QgsVectorFileWriter

[Möri Cedric]

Hi list

in a python plugin im using QgsVectorFileWriter.writeAsShapefile to write a shapefile to the disk.

The first time I use a certain file name/path (e.g /tmp/foo.shp), it works properly. If I try to rerun the script, it fails saying: 
ERROR 1: /tmp/foo.shp is not a directory.

It looks like it is not possible to replace an existing shapefile that way. Am I correct? Do I have to manage the files myself (i.e. delete them before writing the new file)? Or is there another way to replace an existing shapefile?

Thans a lot for any help

regards
Cédric
