<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have now worked out how to generate a user profile using python and I thought I’d reply to my own post in case it is of use to others.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I used:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">profilePath = QStandardPaths.standardLocations(QStandardPaths.AppDataLocation)[0].replace("python","QGIS")<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To get a path suitable for loading the QgsUserProfileManager. It seems that running standalone it defaults to /python on Windows but you may or may not need the replace statement. Once you have the path you just initiate the profileManager
and then use createUserProfile:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">QgsProfileManager = QgsUserProfileManager(profilePath + "\\profiles")<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> print(QgsProfileManager.rootLocation())<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> if not QgsProfileManager.profileExists("default"):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> QgsProfileManager.createUserProfile("default")<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> print(versionName + " profile created")<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This seems to do the trick and I run it before my other script to ensure that QGIS sets up a profile before the first load. That said; it doesn’t include much of the profile itself so you might need to play with how you start a QgsApplication
instance perhaps for that. Anyway it worked for what I needed and it might be helpful for others…perhaps.
<o:p></o:p></p>
