Hi,
I have noticed a possible bug with mapscript. The value of layer.dump
gets not saved in version 6 to the map file, which used to work in 5.6.5.
Please see the following examples:
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Dec 26 2010, 22:31:48)
[GCC 4.4.5] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import mapscript
>>> mapscript.msGetVersion()
'MapServer version 5.6.5 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
OUTPUT=SWF OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=FREETYPE
SUPPORTS=ICONV SUPPORTS=FRIBIDI SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT
SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=SOS_SERVER SUPPORTS=FASTCGI SUPPORTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=GEOS
SUPPORTS=RGBA_PNG INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL
INPUT=SHAPEFILE'
>>> m = mapscript.mapObj()
>>> l = mapscript.layerObj()
>>> l.dump = mapscript.MS_TRUE
>>> m.insertLayer(l)
0
>>> m.save('/home/brfr/test.map')
0
creates a layer as follows:
76 LAYER
77 DUMP TRUE
78 NAME "(null)"
79 STATUS OFF
80 UNITS METERS
81 END
while:
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Jan 20 2010, 23:14:04)
[GCC 4.2.4 (Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu3)] on linux2

>>> import mapscript
>>> mapscript.msGetVersion()
'MapServer version 6.0.1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG SUPPORTS=PROJ

SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER

>>> m = mapscript.mapObj()
>>> l = mapscript.layerObj()
>>> l.dump = mapscript.MS_TRUE
>>> m.insertLayer(l)
0
>>> m.save('/home/brfr/test.map')
0
creates a layer as follows:
LAYER
STATUS OFF
TILEITEM "location"
UNITS METERS
END # LAYER
Dump is still in the docs as a valid parameter, so I presume the
behaviour is not wanted. The above examples are only that, examples. I
discovered the behaviour with a working mapfile ...
Can someone else confirm this? Or is it only me?
