Since 11 June 2018, we can't query the Google Maps Geocoding API without a key.
That means that tests that are not cached will fail with the following "error".
{
"error_message" : "Keyless access to Google Maps Platform is deprecated. Please use an API key with all your API calls to avoid service interruption. For further details please refer to http://g.co/dev/maps-no-account",
"results" : [],
"status" : "OVER_QUERY_LIMIT"
}
I noticed this while working on reviewing PR #918 ; I noticed that Travis was failing and (at first) didn't understood why.
I think it's worth updating the tests by adding API key every time (I'll submit a PR in a few minutes) and update the cached responses (but I don't have a Google Maps API key so I can't do it).
@Nyholm @willdurand (or even @Tiraniel) : would you have a Google Maps API key I could use to update the tests (or you could even do it yourself) ? Thanks.
