Cant open MVT for writing

[MangoChris]

Package Version: 2.6.0 Node Version: 14.9.0

Command:

var data = gdal.open('/tmp', 'w', 'MVT');

Expected behaviour:

data variable contains Dataset

Actual behaviour:

Uncaught Error: ERROR 6: Only vector creation supported Uncaught Error: Error creating dataset

Notes:

All other file formats 'Esri Shapefile', 'KML' etc work as expected.

@MangoChris are you using gdal-next with your own shared GDAL library? By building with --shared_gdal? MVT write support is not working with the prebuilt binaries If so, try with

var data = gdal.open('/tmp', 'w', 'MVT', 0, 0, 0, 'Unknown');

The default options (datatype GDT_Byte) fool the MVT driver that you want to create a raster dataset which it does not support

Thanks for the quick response guys, adding 'Unknown' did the trick!
