Use this case

import pytest


@pytest.mark.geocase_case("polygon_wkt_baseline")
def test_polygon_wkt_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 WKT so plain-text geometry loading can be compared against container-based vector formats.

Risk types covered

Expected behavior

Assertion Expected
expect_loadable yes
expect_valid_geometry yes
expect_crs yes
expected_epsg 4326
expected_geometry_types Polygon
required_drivers none — no OGR driver opens this format (use shapely)

Notes

Purpose

Canonical baseline polygon stored in plain WKT for custom loader coverage.

Data

  • Geometry: POLYGON ((10 50, 11 50, 11 51, 10 51, 10 50))
  • Attributes: none. The format has no attribute slot; VectorCase.load() synthesizes a single name = polygon_wkt_baseline row.
  • Feature count: 1

Validation

  • Geometry type: Polygon
  • CRS: EPSG:4326, supplied by case.yaml — the format stores none
  • 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
  • geometry-validation
  • bounds-check
