I can create a GeoNode connection in QGIS 3 to http://bims.ledet.gov.za but no layers are returned.

expected behaviour

all public layers should be returned

@gubuntu Are we sure that Geonode client can is working ? screenshot 2018-10-11 at 17 13 59

@myarjunar can you confirm if the Geonode client is working. I have tried to connect to testing.geonode.kartoza and other services as depicted in the image above and nothing is returned.

myarjunar commented 6 years ago

I've tried it and it is working with http://geonode.inasafe.org/ but not with http://testing.geonode.kartoza.com .

gubuntu commented 6 years ago

Yes I find that too. The main difference is that inasafe is 2.9 with QGIS and testing is our fork of 2.8 with QGIS.

Perhaps we broke something on the GeoNode side @lucernae? @myarjunar if you think it's a QGIS issue please create a QGIS ticket for it.

@myarjunar Geonode client basically makes an API call to geonode to access the layers from

http://bims.ledet.gov.za/api/layers/ running the following from the browser connected over vpn I can access the layer list. Even doing filters on the API yields results http://bims.ledet.gov.za/api/layers/?title__contains=biome

However if I try to access it directly from the python console in QGIS it just hangs and do not get anything returned. Do you think this could be an issue with a slow connection from QGIS which causes the server to timeout and then not get any layer list.

this is low priority - as long as OWS and PostGIS connections work we're good
