Hi,
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.
I used:
profilePath =
QStandardPaths.standardLocations(QStandardPaths.AppDataLocation)[0].replace("python","QGIS")
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:
QgsProfileManager = QgsUserProfileManager(profilePath + "\\profiles")
print(QgsProfileManager.rootLocation())
if not QgsProfileManager.profileExists("default"):
QgsProfileManager.createUserProfile("default")
print(versionName + " profile created")
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.
Cheers,
Paul
