Can't reproduce using Processing and QGIS test data. Can you share dataset which causes this?

[qgib]

Author Name: Paolo Cavallini (@pcav)

It happens with any data here, just tested.

Strange. Can't reproduce locally, and as I can see Travis also does not report any failure for this alg

Very strange indeed. Could it be due to a different version of a lib? I just tested again, and confirm the issue.

---

• os_version was changed from to Sid
• operating_system was changed from to Debian

Work fine here on 2.18 on both Windows (standalone) and Ubuntu 16.04, with any data.

can you test on another machine (with a different os/os version)? thanks.

Sure, already planned, next days during a course, with several machines. Thanks for checking.

Verified on 10 Windows boxes, it works on only 2 of them, same error confirmed for the other 8.

where it fails, are all clean installations? have you tried purge the .qgis2 folder and see if anything changes? On clean installations it does not fail.

This happens in 9 machines, with a variety of settings. Some of them have uninstalled 2.16 before installing 2.18, some starts from a clean .qgis2. It works in machines with a long history of installations. I can do further testing after the course.

Still can not reproduce on Windows and Linux, also tests for this alg passed on Travis. Looks like local issue.

I can do further testing after the course.

further testing to find the likely local issue are needed. Please reopen if you find a real evidence of a core qgis problem.

• resolution was changed from to not reproducable
• status_id was changed from Feedback to Closed

I can confirm the bug on a QGIS 2.18.13 installation via homebrew on mac. The issue seems to only affect values with decimals (numeric, real, etc) and can only reproduce on Postgis layers. Same layer exported as a shapefile works.

chekc if you have a "processing" folder in ~/.qgis2/python/plugins/

if yes delete it, restart qgis and try again.
