WebConnections not being added

[cefect]

Calling the command (Plugins > CanFlood > WebConnection) runs without error, however the connections are not added:

This is supposed to add 4 connections to the Browser by appending some entries to the QGIS3.ini file. The .ini file seems to be updated as expected:

connections-arcgisfeatureserver\ECCC_NationalPollutantReleaseInventory_NPRI\url=https://maps-cartes.ec.gc.ca/arcgis/rest/services/NPRI_INRP/NPRI_INRP/MapServer
connections-arcgisfeatureserver\NRCan_NationalHumanSettlementLayer_NHSL\url=https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server_serveur/rest/services/NRCan/nhsl_en/MapServer
connections-wms\NRCan_AutomaticallyExtractedBuildings\url="https://maps.geogratis.gc.ca/wms/automatic_extraction_building_footprint_en?request=getcapabilities&service=wms&layers=automatic_extraction_building_footprint_en&version=1.3.0&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/html"

When adding the connections manually, it looks like the syntax of the .ini file has changed (also NPRI seems to be broken).

I propose:

1. finding a more native way of adding the connection (rather than editing the .ini file) that will be less sensitve to .ini syntax changes. i.e., some built-in Q command. If this can't be found, revise the .ini modification commands to match the current syntax.
2. check the connections in WebConnections.ini to make sure they still work (if not, search for an alternate server for the dataset or delete)

@ceftanveer I think we'll need to fix this to get tutorial 5 to work
