This adds a new available parameter type for processing algorithms,
QgsProcessingParameterAuthConfig, allowing selection from available
authentication configurations (and creation of new ones).
It allows creation of processing algorithm which can fully take
advantage of QGIS' mature authentication handling, avoiding the
need to use insecure string parameters for users to input
sensitive logon credentials.
QgsProcessingParameterAuthConfig parameters are evaluated using
QgsProcessingAlgorithm.parameterAsString(), which returns the
selected authentication configuration ID.
to show in numeric/distance widgets
E.g. to only show 2 decimal places:
# only show two decimal places in parameter's widgets, not 6:
param.setMetadata( {'widget_wrapper':
{ 'decimals': 2 }
})
their underlying algorithm's provider
E.g. for model outputs generated by a saga algorithm, only
sdat and shp files are valid outputs. So only give users choices
of these instead of all formats.
Also fixes temporary file names generated as part of model
execution may use formats which are not compatible with the
algorithm's provider.
Fixes#18908
