FAQ

Q: I am getting authentication errors, what can I do?

A: Try installing the Google Earth Engine command line client. Run the earthengine authenticate command. This resets the authentication credentials and solves most authentication errors.

Q: Are you through a proxy?

A: In your scripts, configure proxy settings on top of them:

import os
os.environ['HTTP_PROXY'] = 'http://[username:password@]<ip_address_or_domain>:<port>'
os.environ['HTTPS_PROXY'] = 'http://[username:password@]<ip_address_or_domain>:<port>'

import ee
from ee_plugin import Map

Q: I am getting error like ssl.SSLError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed on MacOS:

A: Open Finder and double clicking on this file /Applications/Python 3.6/Install Certificates.command. This path may vary depending on how QGIS was installed (Homebrew, macports, native). Then restart QGIS.

Q: Plugin crashes after authentication with a stack trace showing 404, what should I do?

A: Go to http://code.earthengine.google.com and make sure you can access code editor. If the plugin is still failing - make sure your IP is not under firewall.

Roadmap

Alpha 0.0.1 (Q4 2019) ✔️

• Create a new QGIS plugin skeleton
• Migrate to QGIS3
• Embed GEE Python library
• Implement Map.addLayer() for ee.Image
• Implement Map.addLayer() for ee.Geometry, ee.Feature and ee.FeatureCollection
• Implement Map.centerObject()
• Implement Map.getBounds()
• Implement Map.getCenter()
• Implement Map.setCenter()
• Implement Map.getScale()
• Implement Map.getZoom()
• Implement Map.setZoom()
• Upload to QGIS plugin repository: https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/ - approved!

Alpha 0.0.2 (Q3 2020) ✔️

• Upgrade EE library to 0.1.224 (Windows, Linux, maxOS)

Alpha 0.0.3 (Q4 2020) ✔️

• EE raster layer inspector
• Show some useful EE properties (bands, value types) in QGIS layer properties dialog
• Fix GEE url authentication function if the credentials is not exists #63
• Fix crash if the authentication dialog is cancelled or not filled by the user
• Init the Google Earth Engine user authorization system only when the user is going to use the plugin
• Fixed the authentication dialog when the url shortener doesn't work by any reason #66
• Fix loading extra python dependencies to the plugin, fix #62

Alpha 0.0.4 (Q1 2021) ✔️

• Minor bugfix release (EE authentication)

Alpha 0.0.5 (Q1 2022) ✔️

• Minor bugfix release (EE library upgrade)

Alpha 0.0.6 (Q1 2023) ✔️

• Added support for QGIS 3.22+ (fix identify tool)

1.0.0 (Q4 2023) ⌛

• Improve authentication (UI and error handling)
• Simplify interpoerability of features/geometry between EE and QGIS
• Add layer as a child layer to the group layer #101
• EE vector layer inspector
• EE raster collection layer inspector
• Make print(ee_object) more user-friendly, without requiring getInfo(), maybe async
• Get Link and Open Script
• Skip import ee and from ee_plugin import Map for EE scripts ...

1.1.0

• Export.* and Tasks panel (start, cancel, info)
• Map.layers() for EE layers, allowing to use things like ui.Map.Layer.setEeObject()
• ui.Chart.*
• require()
• Faster identify tool, using local cached rasters
• Add support for Data Catalog, allowing adding assets without the need to write scripts (select time, styling)
• Custom EE scripts as Processing algorithms, so that users can use it within Graphical Modeller
• Fetch (cache?) raster assets locally (EE > QGIS), for a given rectangle / CRS, as a Processing tool
• Export vector and raster data (QGIS > EE) either via Tasks or some other way
• Use QGIS vector/raster style editors to edit EE layer styles
