Class: QgsVectorLayerExporterTask¶

QgsTask task which performs a QgsVectorLayerExporter layer export operation as a background task. This can be used to export a vector layer out to a provider without blocking the QGIS interface.

Class Hierarchy¶

Base classes¶

`QgsTask`	Abstract base class for long running background tasks.
QObject

Static Methods

withLayerOwnership

Creates a new QgsVectorLayerExporterTask which has ownership over a source layer.

Signals

`errorOccurred`	Emitted when an error occurs which prevented the layer being exported (or if the task is canceled).
`exportComplete`	Emitted when exporting the layer is successfully completed.

class qgis.core.QgsVectorLayerExporterTask[source]¶

Bases: QgsTask

__init__(layer: QgsVectorLayer | None, uri: str | None, providerKey: str | None, destinationCrs: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem, options: Dict[str | None, Any] = {}, ownsLayer: bool = False)

Constructor for QgsVectorLayerExporterTask. Takes a source layer, destination uri and providerKey, and various export related parameters such as destination CRS and export options. ownsLayer has to be set to True if the task should take ownership of the layer and delete it after export.

Parameters:

layer (Optional[QgsVectorLayer])
uri (Optional[str])
providerKey (Optional[str])
destinationCrs (QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem)
options (Dict[Optional[str], Any] = {})
ownsLayer (bool = False)

signal errorOccurred(error: Qgis.VectorExportResult, errorMessage: str)[source]¶

Emitted when an error occurs which prevented the layer being exported (or if the task is canceled). The export error and errorMessage will be reported.

Parameters:

error (Qgis.VectorExportResult)
errorMessage (str)

signal exportComplete[source]¶: Emitted when exporting the layer is successfully completed.

static withLayerOwnership(layer: QgsVectorLayer | None, uri: str | None, providerKey: str | None, destinationCrs: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem, options: Dict[str | None, Any] = {}) → QgsVectorLayerExporterTask | None[source]¶

Creates a new QgsVectorLayerExporterTask which has ownership over a source layer. When the export task has completed (successfully or otherwise) layer will be deleted. The destination uri and providerKey, and various export related parameters such as destination CRS and export options must be specified.

Parameters:

layer (Optional[QgsVectorLayer])
uri (Optional[str])
providerKey (Optional[str])
destinationCrs (QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem)
options (Dict[Optional[str], Any] = {})

Return type:

Optional[QgsVectorLayerExporterTask]
