Use this case

import pytest


@pytest.mark.geocase_case("polygon_kml_baseline")
def test_polygon_kml_baseline(geocase_case) -> None:
    data = geocase_case.load()
    assert data is not None

Use GeoCase in your tests

What this case checks

Provide a canonical polygon encoded as KML so polygon driver-backed loading can be compared against the GeoJSON baseline.

Notes

Purpose

Canonical baseline polygon stored in KML for cross-format polygon coverage.

Data

  • Geometry: POLYGON ((10 50, 11 50, 11 51, 10 51, 10 50))
  • Attributes: id = 1, name = polygon_kml_baseline
  • The KML driver reads name back as Name and synthesizes description, timestamp, begin, end, altitudeMode, tessellate, extrude, visibility, drawOrder and icon regardless of file content.
  • Feature count: 1

Validation

  • Geometry type: Polygon
  • CRS: EPSG:4326
  • Geometry equals simple_valid_polygon under shapely.normalize, which is how tests/unit/test_cross_format_canonical.py compares them. The comparison is winding-insensitive by necessity: the Shapefile specification mandates the opposite ring orientation from RFC 7946, and OGR rewrites winding on write. Orientation itself is asserted by shapefile_ring_orientation.

Generation

Generated by scripts/generate_vector_fixtures.py — do not hand-edit. The geometry is derived from params.canonical_source_case_id (simple_valid_polygon), and generate_vector_fixtures.py --check fails on any drift.

Required capabilities

  • load
