General overpass server error #128

Closed mtennekes closed 6 years ago

mtennekes commented 6 years ago

When I run the examples from osmdata_sf I get an error message:

hampi_sf <- opq ("hampi india") %>%
  add_osm_feature (key="historic", value="ruins") %>%
  osmdata_sf()

Error in check_for_error(doc) : General overpass server error; returned: OSM3S ResponseThe data included in this document is from www.openstreetmap.org. The data is made available under ODbL.Error: line 8: parse error: ';' expected - ')' found. Error: line 11: parse error: Unexpected end of input. Error: line 8: static error: Element "print" cannot be subelement of element "union".

I tested it under Ubuntu and W10.

Same error on Windows 10.

The bad news here is that this is the same as this issue, and is, as reflected in the error text, a "General overpass server error". Unfortunately, all you can do is keep trying. It gives "Unexpected end of input" because there is no input - overpass silently fails and returns nothing.

@mtennekes @JimShady this problem is now clearly pervasive - see #130 and same issue on osmplotr. I'm going to have to try to find an effective work-around, and will report back when I do.

Thanks for your efforts @mpadge .

(copy of same in #126) sorry about this all who've suffered this complete loss of functionality:

  1. It was all entirely my fault;
  2. It was fixed a while ago in the current dev version; but
  3. It was something so minor that I didn't realise it was going to have such pervasive effects

For now, you can just devtools::install_github("ropensci/osmdata") and all should be good. I'll get the fix on to CRAN asap. Thanks to all for pointing this out!
