#28569 closed Bug (fixed)

Broken error handling when fetching GDAL datasource layer by string.

Description

When working on ticket #28558, I noticed that the error handling was broken in the case of accessing a layer on a datasource by string name.

The get_layer_by_name function raised GDALException instead of returning None in the case of an invalid string name as is expected by DataSource.__getitem__.

Looking at all of the other get_*_by_name functions, they pass errcheck=False to avoid an exception being raised.

It seems as though this has been broken from the initial implementation.

Fixed #28569 -- Corrected get_layer_by_name prototype to skip error checking.

All other get_*_by_name functions have errcheck=False. This makes it
return None for an invalid name instead of raising a GDALException.
