[GIS] Clip in QGIS 2.4.0 resulting in empty output files

clipqgis

I'm seeing the same problem to Clip or Intersection tool – QGIS giving empty files trying to use the Clip tool since upgrading to QGIS 2.4.0, but have not been able to fix the problem based on the responses there. I tried creating a simple example to ensure was not my data but am seeing the same problem.

I have a series of points & a polygon. I want to retain those points within the polygon only.
Example of points and polygon

I use Vector -> Geoprocessing Tools -> Clip

Commands used

This results in an empty attribute table.

Options I've tried:

  • I have tried switching the Input and Clip layer in case I had these round the wrong way
  • Disable on the fly reprojections (confirmed the layers do overlap, they are in the same projection)
  • Checked through Properties to confirm both layers have CRS EPSG:4326 – WGS 84
  • I left this simple example running for approximately 40 minutes with no change in outcome in case I was just not leaving enough time (in previous versions this was successful in a short time span).
  • I have tried using other Geoprocessing tools to see if it is just clip – I do not receive any output with any of them.

I had the same problem. Turns out that my mask layer I created wasn't in the same projection as the other layers. Right-click the mask layer and 'Set Layer CRS'. Mask then jumped somewhere else so deleted it and created a new one. Worked for me.
