osmjs: failed to add attribute 'id'

[StyXman]

I was trying to extract some info from a .pbf file[1] into a shapefile and I got that error message. I used a config file which is almost the example in the README file:

shapefile('poi').
    type(POINT).
    column('id', INTEGER, 10).
    column('type', STRING, 32).
    column('name', STRING, 32);

node('amenity').
    output('poi').
        attr('type', 'amenity').
        attr('name');

I executed osmjs as:

$ osmjs -2 -i osm2shape -j split.js provence-alpes-cote-d-azur.osm.pbf
terminate called after throwing an instance of std::runtime_error
  what():  failed  to add attribute 'id'
Aborted

Am I missing something?

I fixed it by adding the column 'id' by hand:

node('amenity').
    output('poi').
        attr ('id').
        attr('type', 'amenity').
        attr('name');

so it's the README who should be fixed :)

Your fix is wrong, all ids end up as (null). The problem is that the id field is defined as integer which is not enough for 64 bit ids. It has to be defined as a large-enough string. I fixed this in the README, the example .js files were already okay. Fix for README is in 22ed2f6.
