Hello list, I recently migrated to 5.4. I observed the following inconsistency
and I would be grateful if someone can duplicate the problem too.
In my (mapscript python) code i manually grab layer features using:
layer.open()
status = layer.whichShapes(map.extent)
while (1):
shape = layer.nextShape()
if shape==None:
break
print shape.numvalues
The last print returns the number of non-spatial attributes.
In mapserver 5.2.1 it is returned correctly but in 5.4 is always 0
just like all the non spatial values are all null. One could also
observer that:
layer.open()
print layer.numitems # Return the right value always
status = layer.whichShapes(map.extent)
print layer.numitems # Returns 0 ONLY in 5.4
My workaround now is to temporary store the whichShapes() returned
features' indexes in a list and later access using layer.getFeature(i) which
preserves
the existance of non-spatial. I don;t know yet if this problem arised only
for me, but i thought it would be wise to inform.
