Help with nswtopo v2.0.0

[felixthecat]

Hi, I'm getting a little frustrated getting this working on my Windows machine. I might have to see if my dusty *nix box turns on...

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could help... I have used the old version in the past, but wanted to play with the new version...
https://github.com/mholling/nswtopo

I believe I have the prerequisites installed:

Code:

ruby --version
ruby 2.7.1p83 (2020-03-31 revision a0c7c23c9c) [x64-mingw32]

I've installed nswtopo and nswtopo-layers using gem:

Code:

nswtopo -v
2.0.0

I can't use a bounds.kml file. I think this is because I made it using GE (since it mentions pushpin):

Code:

nswtopo init -b bounds.kml map.tgz

nswtopo: [BUG] Unexpected node test: <:predicate>: <[[:eq, [:attribute, :qname, "", "id"], [:literal, "m_ylw-pushpin"]]]>

I could successfully create a map by defining coordinates instead using --coords... but then I can't even add the nsw/topographic map layer

Code:

nswtopo init --coords 150.0,-32.5,150.1,-32.6 map.tgz

Any help is very welcome! Thanks

Not sure about that one but have you tried Mapc2mapc?
It works well on windows and is easy enough to use. License for it is super cheap.

I'm no expert so here is a guess. Try using Ruby 2.5 instead of 2.7. The script was written for 2.5 and there could be something that is version specific in the Xpath parsing of the KML.

Also, could you post the kml data?

I used yml on Ubuntu to create maps with this script. After a few PEBKAC errors it worked really well.

I haven't tried this. Thanks for the suggestion...
From my very brief look, it seems to convert existing maps to different formats... not really create maps... I'll have a better look in the future. Need to prep for a trip tomorrow...

Thanks for the reply Michael...

I tried the following:

Code:

gem update --system 2.5

Code:

ruby --version
ruby 2.7.1p83 (2020-03-31 revision a0c7c23c9c) [x64-mingw32]


Its still crashing (in the same place I think). It tries to download the nsw.topographic.contours... gets 500 of 579 before it seems to crash:

I'll try uploading the kml in a moment...

[felixthecat]

I tried the following:

Code:

gem update --system 2.5

Code:

ruby --version
ruby 2.7.1p83 (2020-03-31 revision a0c7c23c9c) [x64-mingw32]


Silly me... it didn't seem to downgrade the Ruby version at all... just a moment...

[felixthecat]

I'm no expert so here is a guess. Try using Ruby 2.5 instead of 2.7. The script was written for 2.5 and there could be something that is version specific in the Xpath parsing of the KML.

Michael.

Okay... I uninstalled Ruby and reinstalled the older version from here: https://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/

Looks better now:

Code:

ruby --version
ruby 2.5.8p224 (2020-03-31 revision 67882) [x64-mingw32]


I then need to reinstall nswtopo, etc.

Its working now! Thanks Michael!
Even the KML! As you guessed it was just a Xpath parsing issue with the new version of Ruby.
Thanks again

[michael_p]

So glad that worked. Excellent result.
