Modelbaker

Be aware that the UsabILIty Hub Repository (located at http://models.opengis.ch) is not found by ili2db what means that when using `qgis.modelbaker.metaConfigParamsOnly` toppingfiles referenced in metaconfig file with `ilidata:` should not be located there. Other repositories (like e.g. from the cantons) can be used without any restrictions. Still you can add http://models.opengis.ch as a directory in the [Model Baker Settings](../../../user_guide/plugin_configuration/#custom-model-directories).

Fixes
* Allow `ini` for the Extra Meta Attribute File in https://github.com/opengisch/QgisModelBaker/pull/778
* Consider base config in the validation configuration in https://github.com/opengisch/QgisModelBaker/pull/783
* Reset Metaconfig on Data Import / Update in https://github.com/opengisch/QgisModelBaker/pull/787
* Passing `--sqlColAsText` when importing schema without constraints in https://github.com/opengisch/QgisModelBakerLibrary/pull/51
* Workaround to add the usabilityhub repository when a metaconfig is passed to ili2db in https://github.com/opengisch/QgisModelBakerLibrary/pull/53

Library
Using modelbaker library [1.4.1](https://github.com/opengisch/QgisModelBakerLibrary/releases/tag/v1.4.1)

This release brings support of map themes, layer styles, custom variables and print layouts in the **UsabILIty Hub Toppings**.

Improvements
UsabILIty Hub passing metaconfig to ili2db

ili2db configurations are defined in the *metaconfiguration file*.
ini
[ch.ehi.ili2db]
defaultSrsCode = 2056
smart2Inheritance = true
strokeArcs = false
importTid = true


ili2db will be called like this:

ili2db --metaConfig ilidata:metconfigId --schemaimport


Some parameters are automatically set in the background when ili2db is called by the Model Baker (like `--coalesceCatalogueRef --createEnumTabs --createNumChecks --createUnique --createFk --createFkIdx --coalesceMultiSurface --coalesceMultiLine --coalesceMultiPoint --coalesceArray --beautifyEnumDispName --createGeomIdx --createMetaInfo --expandMultilingual --createTypeConstraint --createEnumTabsWithId --createTidCol --importTid`), and others can be configured by the user in the input mask of the Model Baker (like `--smart1Inheritance`/`--smart2Inheritance`, `--createBasketCol`, `--strokeArcs`, `--iliMetaAttrs` (for `ini`/`toml`), `--preScript` and `--postScript` or `--models`). In addition, the relevant *metaconfiguration file* is passed to ili2db. But parameters passed directly to ili2db ***override*** the configurations of the passed *metaconfiguration file*.

The Model Baker reads the ili2db parameters from the *metaconfiguration file*. The parameters that can be set via the input mask of the Model Baker are loaded from the *metaconfiguration file* into the input mask. The user can now customize them. The Model Baker now passes the *metaconfiguration file* and the parameters from the input mask (whether customized or not) to ili2db. So if the parameters were listed in the *metaconfiguration file* but then disabled in the input mask, they will be passed to ili2db as `false`.

Changes are marked visually in the input mask for *ili2db Options*:


The parameters set by the Model Baker in the background are still set. But they can be overridden in the *metaconfiguration file*. However, if in the *metaconfiguration file* such parameters are not mentioned, then they are also not overridden with `false`.

Exception is the setting to consider ***only*** the *metaconfiguration file*. If this is set, then only the parameters configured in the *metaconfiguration file* should be set and no others (Exception from the exception is `--models` and `--sqlEnableNull` on "Run withouth constraints"):

ini
[CONFIGURATION]
qgis.modelbaker.metaConfigParamsOnly = True

When this parameter is set the *Advanced Options* and *CRS* settings are disabled in the input mask.

Fixes
* Fix run button after failed schema import in https://github.com/opengisch/QgisModelBaker/pull/773

Library
Using modelbaker library [1.3.8](https://github.com/opengisch/QgisModelBakerLibrary/releases/tag/v1.3.8)

Fixes
* Validator: Pan and zoom to coordinate (whenever possible) in https://github.com/opengisch/QgisModelBaker/pull/770
* only check repo again for toppings when model list diverts in https://github.com/opengisch/QgisModelBaker/pull/772

Improvements
* Ability to re-run and cancel import processes https://github.com/opengisch/QgisModelBaker/pull/761



Library
Using modelbaker library [1.3.8](https://github.com/opengisch/QgisModelBakerLibrary/releases/tag/v1.3.8)

This release brings support of map themes, layer styles, custom variables and print layouts in the **UsabILIty Hub Toppings**.

Improvements
UsabILIty Hub support for Map Themes and Styles

A `qmlstylefile` is stored for each style ("default" style is keeped in the root):

yaml
layertree:
- Street:
tablename: street
geometrycolumn: geometry
checked: true
expanded: true
qmlstylefile: ilidata:layerstyle_street_qml_001
styles:
french:
qmlstylefile: ilidata:layerstyle_street_french_qml_001
robot:
qmlstylefile: ilidata:layerstyle_street_robot_qml_001
- Park:
tablename: park
geometrycolumn: geometry
checked: false
expanded: true
qmlstylefile: ilidata:layerstyle_park_qml_001
provider: ogr
uri: /home/freddy/qgis_projects/bakery/cityandcity.gpkg|layername=park


The mapthemes are stored in this struture.
yaml
mapthemes:
"French Theme":
Street:
style: french
visible: true
expanded: true
Park:
style: default
visible: false
expanded: true
"Robot Theme":
Street:
style: robot
expanded_items:
[
"{f6c29bf7-af28-4d88-8092-ee9568ac731f}",
"{fc48a8d7-d774-46c7-97c7-74ecde13a3ec}",
]
checked_items:
[
"{f6c29bf7-af28-4d88-8092-ee9568ac731f}",
"{dc726dd5-d0d7-4275-be02-f6916df4fa29}",
]
Park:
style: default
visible: true
expanded: false
Other_Layers_Group:
group: true
checked: true
expanded: false
Other_Layers_Group/SubGroup:
group: true
checked: true
expanded: false

Subgroups are separated with `/`.

UsabILIty Hub support for Variables and Print Layouts

yaml
variables:
"first_variable": "This is a test value."
"Another_Variable": "2"

layouts:
"Layout One":
templatefile: "../layouttemplate/freddys_qgis_project_layout_one.qpt"
"Layout Three":
templatefile: "../layouttemplate/freddys_qgis_project_layout_three.qpt"


The print layouts are exported as template files `qpt` and loaded according the name.

Additive settings in the UsabILIty Hub Exporter

The Map Themes, the Variables and the Print Layout are parsed from the project. There is a minimal configuration option to decide what should be considered.



The layer styles are exported automatically considering the general category setting per layer. The export configuration per style (like categories) is not yet supported by in the GUI. See: https://github.com/opengisch/QgisModelBaker/issues/766

Known Issues
`settHasCheckedStateInfo(True)` is not available in the PyQGIS API, what makes it impossible to control the checked state of a group. See https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/33099#pullrequestreview-326635863
