[Qgis-user] Using QGIS 3.0 in a python script outside the GUI

[Renaud Burck]

Hi All,

I'm trying to create a Windows scheduled task using a python script calling QGIS processing algorithms in non-GUI mode.

I read this tutorial http://www.qgistutorials.com/fr/docs/running_qgis_jobs.html

Since it was written for QGIS 2.XX, I used this stackexchange thread to adapt the batch file defining Windows environment variables   : https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/268573/environment-variables-for-qgis-3-plugin-development-on-windows

My batch file call a python script which atm only contains :

import sys
from qgis.core import *

# Initialize QGIS Application
QgsApplication.setPrefixPath("C:\\Program Files\\QGIS 3.0\\apps\\qgis", True)
app = QgsApplication([], False)
QgsApplication.initQgis()

print ('Hello QGIS!')

Problem is that I get an error telling me :

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows"
in "".

I think it's when "app = QgsApplication([], False)" is called. And I don't get why....

Do you have any idea?

Best regards
Renaud BURCK
