Return to Question

I found a couple of good answers like [here][1] for example, but I do not manage to adapt them and make them work...

I would like now to adapt this [answer][1], but all I get is a bunch of errors. I tried to get rid off Processings since it does not seem to work for me (QGIS 2.18.2). I am not understanding pretty well the implication of the processes, I do not know if it is the good way to do it and what are the problems.

And of course, make the link between the two codes. [1]: Creating new layer from another one and adding new fields with Qgis processing python scripts?

Here is the code for creating the new shapefile and new field:

##testes=group
##Ratio =name
##layer=vector
##output_file=output vector

from PyQt4.QtCore import QVariant, QFileInfo
from qgis.core import QGis, QgsFeature, QgsField, QgsFields, QgsProject
import processing

layer= iface.activeLayer().dataProvider().dataSourceUri()
layer = path[:path.rfind('|')]

mylayer = QgsVectorLayer(layer, "inventaris_points_in_roi_single_new", "ogr")
if not mylayer.isValid():
    print("Layer failed to load!")

vectorLayer = processing.getObject(mylayer)
provider = vectorLayer.dataProvider()

New_layer= processing.getObject(layer)
fields = QgsFields()
fields = provider.fields()
fields.append(QgsField('AREA', QVariant.Double,'',20,3))
fields.append(QgsField('PERIMETER', QVariant.Double,'',20,3))
fields.append(QgsField('RATIO', QVariant.Double,'',20,3))

writer = processing.VectorWriter(output_file, None, fields.toList(),
                              QGis.WKBMultiPolygon, New_layer.crs())

features = processing.features(vectorLayer)
for feat in features:
    writer.addFeature(feat)

del writer

And the error :

  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>

And of course, make the link between the two codes. [1]: Creating new layer from another one and adding new fields with Qgis processing python scripts?
