I am using QGIS 1.8 on Windows 7 (I've tried 1.8.0-5 and 1.8.0-7)

I want to perform a point in polygon analysis using the Vector > Analysis Tools menu.

My point layer is the result of a SpatiaLite query which returns 10'000 points.

My polygon layer is a simple shapefile with about 150 different polygons. Both layers are in WGS84 (EPSG:4326).

When I click the "OK" button in the Point in Polygon tool, just nothing happens. The progress bar stays at 0%, but I cannot click "Cancel" (i.e. nothing happens). I can click on the Close-Button in the upper right though, the window then disappears.

This works in the latest master of 1.9.

This is the output from the message log:

An error has occured while executing Python code:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    tmpGeom = QgsGeometry(pntFeat.geometry())
TypeError: arguments did not match any overloaded call:
  QgsGeometry(): too many arguments
  QgsGeometry(QgsGeometry): argument 1 has unexpected type 'NoneType'

If it works on qgis master then there is nothing to do, as there are no backports.

If is not working on qgis master please reopen this ticket. Cheers!
