[gdal-dev] Latest GDAL version not transforming lat/lng into geom column

[Moises Calzado]

Hello everyone,

We've just updated to the latest GDAL version (v3.6.0) and it seems that
something is not working correctly when trying to obtain a geom column from
a CSV containing latitudes and longitudes.

This is the command that is being used:

ogr2ogr -f CSV -skipfailures -makevalid /vsistdout/ CSV:my_file.csv
> -simplify 0.00001 -dim XY -t_srs EPSG:4326 -lco GEOMETRY=AS_WKT -lco
> GEOMETRY_NAME=geom -lco CREATE_CSVT=YES -s_srs EPSG:4326 -oo
> KEEP_GEOM_COLUMNS=NO -oo
> X_POSSIBLE_NAMES=point_longitude,longitude,longitud,lon,Lon,Longitude,longitudedecimal,decimallongitude,decimallong,lng,long,Lng
> -oo
> Y_POSSIBLE_NAMES=latitude,latitud,lati,lat,Latitude,decimallat,decimallatitude,latitudedecimal,point_latitude
> -oo
> GEOM_POSSIBLE_NAMES=geom,Geom,geometry,the_geom,wkt,wkb,wkt_geometry,wkb_geometry
> -oo EMPTY_STRING_AS_NULL=YES -oo QUOTED_FIELDS_AS_STRING=NO -lco
> PRECISION=NO -oo AUTODETECT_SIZE_LIMIT=500000


The file that is being processed contains a column called lat and another
one called lon, and when I execute the same process on a docker container
running the version 3.5.1 of GDAL it works like a charm. We've also tried
to execute this process on the 3.5.3 version, and it also fails. Is that
expected?

Looking forward to your response,
Regards!
