Could not find point within a radius of 350.0 meters #128

Here's what I did

I ran Directions From Points from 1 layer

Here's what I got

error message:

Feature ID caused a ApiError:
404 ({"error":{"code":2010,"message":"Could not find point 10: -112.6955790 41.4618090 within a radius of 350.0 meters."},"info":{"engine":{"version":"6.3.6","build_date":"2021-03-02T18:34:49Z"},"timestamp":1615305477777}})

Here's what I was expecting

-The point (point 10 does not correspond to the ID field, I think that it would be an improvement if it did) -I do not know why there is an error. In OpenStreetMap, I do not see any private roads nearby. This was a possible reason of the error reading this issue (https://ask.openrouteservice.org/t/code-2010-could-not-find-point-0-70-7386400-29-2564500-within-a-radius-of-350-0-meters/2351). Even when I delete the point I found by zooming into the list coordinates and run the process again, it lists another point with the same error. This makes it difficult to find where the error is. I had to delete many points until the process finally ran without an error.

Here's what I think could be improved

-I am not sure how the error can be fixed, as I have not found out why the error is occurring.

I found out why the error occurs. There is not a road within 350m of the point. Could the error message be changed to reflect this?

Hey, this is not an error message of the plugin, but the response and thus error message of the ORS API. I agree, that it's not the clearest error message in the world. I have opened an issue in the backend regarding your suggestion on changing the error message, and will keep track over there.
