I have two lines that overlap, so I clip the overlap, and I should get its length in kilometers. The clip part is ok but I can't find any resources on how to get the length. It can be printed in the console or add a field in the clipped shapefile that contains the km length. I used https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/168871 as a guide but it didn't work. import processing from PyQt5.QtCore import QVariant overlay_layer = QgsProject.instance().mapLayersByName("route2")[0] bottom_layer = QgsProject.instance().mapLayersByName("route1")[0] overlap = r'C:\Users\imper\Documents\python\calculate_overlap_lines\overlap.shp' # clip overlap processing.run("native:clip", {'INPUT': bottom_layer, \ 'OVERLAY': overlay_layer, \ 'OUTPUT': overlap}) iface.addVectorLayer(overlap, '', 'ogr') # get length overlap_lyr = QgsProject.instance().mapLayersByName("overlap")[0] for overlap_lyr in QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().mapLayers().values(): features = overlap_lyr.getFeatures() for f in features: geom = f.geometry() leng = geom.length() res = overlap_lyr.dataProvider().addAttributes([QgsField("Length", QVariant.Int)]) overlap_lyr.updateFields() fieldIndex = overlap_lyr.dataProvider().fieldNameIndex("Length") attrFeatMap = {} attrMap = { fieldIndex : leng } for feature in overlap_lyr.getFeatures(): attrFeatMap[ feature.id() ] = attrMap overlap_lyr.dataProvider().changeAttributeValues(attrFeatMap) I'm getting this error `raise QgsProcessingException(msg) _core.QgsProcessingException: There were errors executing the algorithm.` [1]: https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/168871/calculate-line-lengths-with-python-in-qgis
