There is a new version of tl out, maybe try updating?

sudo npm update -g tl

Looking at what you put, it should work... Could you try this?

tl copy -z 13 -Z 21 -b '90.415163 23.784402 90.425184 23.794848' 'http://a.tile.openstreetmap.fr/hot/{z}/{x}/{y}.png' mbtiles://./hotel.mbtile

Hmm... Any thoughts @mojodna?

[mojodna]

Bizarre. @danbjoseph what shell are you using? Try double quoting (or removing) the http://... string.

[danbjoseph]

zsh. double quoting the url string doesn't change anything. what do you mean by remove?

[mojodna]

Try without quoting http://c.tile.openstreetmap.fr/hot/{z}/{x}/{y}.png

I think zsh is encoding the braces before passing them in as args.

[mojodna]

Alternately, try escaping the braces (\{, \})...

[mojodna]

Or even noglob tl copy -z 13 -Z 19 -b "90.375853 23.700965 90.437307 23.754632" 'http://c.tile.openstreetmap.fr/hot/{z}/{x}/{y}.png' mbtiles://./dhaka.mbtiles

[danbjoseph]

the noglob one and all of these returned the same error:

tl copy -z 13 -Z 21 -b '90.415163 23.784402 90.425184 23.794848' http://a.tile.openstreetmap.fr/hot/\{z\}/\{x\}/\{y\}.png mbtiles://./hotel.mbtiles

also tried switching to bash instead of zsh same error

[mojodna]

Weird! I'll keep poking.

[mojodna]

@danbjoseph what version of Node on the one that isn't working?

[danbjoseph]

v0.12.6

[mojodna]

Great, that's the missing piece. I'm able to reproduce now.

wizard

[mojodna]

@danbjoseph: updating tilelive-http to v0.8.0 should solve the problem (npm upgrade -g tilelive-http).

[danbjoseph]

:+1: thanks @mojodna
