[gdal-dev] ogr2ogr not creating feature ID

[Cindy Hoskey]

Hi, I'm new to gdal so please forgive me if this is covered elsewhere.
I've looked and can't seem to find any answer, including looking in Github
to see if this is listed as an issue.

I'm creating a geojson sequence file (with a newline chracter) using
node.js on a Windows 10 machine.  When I run the folowing command I would
expect that there would be an ID at the end of each feature but there is
not.

ogr2ogr -f GeoJSONseq -lco ID_FIELD="ZCTA5CE10" -lco ID_TYPE=String -sql
"SELECT ZCTA5CE10 as zip, INTPTLAT10 as lat, INTPTLON10 as lon FROM
tl_2018_us_zcta510" tl_2018_us_zcta510geojsonseq.geojson
tl_2018_us_zcta510.shp


I've tried a few variants (without -lco ID_Type=String, without the
double-quotes around the name of the ID_FIELD column) and none seem to
work.  What I'm getting looks like this example:

{ "type": "Feature", "properties": { "zip": "43463", "lat": "+41.5086650",
"lon": "-083.5080344" }, "geometry": { "type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [
[ [ -83.509096, 41.508401 ], [ -83.508555, 41.508162 ], [ -83.508223,
41.508021 ], [ -83.507674, 41.50777 ], [ -83.507465, 41.507665 ], [
-83.507435, 41.507659 ], [ -83.50741, 41.507659 ], [ -83.507335, 41.507675
], [ -83.507296, 41.507702 ], [ -83.507263, 41.507733 ], [ -83.507244,
41.50776 ], [ -83.507232, 41.507795 ], [ -83.507247, 41.507878 ], [
-83.507412, 41.508499 ], [ -83.507534, 41.508952 ], [ -83.507569, 41.509078
], [ -83.507752, 41.50974 ], [ -83.507841, 41.510002 ], [ -83.508447,
41.509233 ], [ -83.509096, 41.508401 ] ] ] } }

What I was expecting would be something like the following:

{ "type": "Feature", "properties": { "zip": "43463", "lat": "+41.5086650",
"lon": "-083.5080344" }, "geometry": { "type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [
[ [ -83.509096, 41.508401 ], [ -83.508555, 41.508162 ], [ -83.508223,
41.508021 ], [ -83.507674, 41.50777 ], [ -83.507465, 41.507665 ], [
-83.507435, 41.507659 ], [ -83.50741, 41.507659 ], [ -83.507335, 41.507675
], [ -83.507296, 41.507702 ], [ -83.507263, 41.507733 ], [ -83.507244,
41.50776 ], [ -83.507232, 41.507795 ], [ -83.507247, 41.507878 ], [
-83.507412, 41.508499 ], [ -83.507534, 41.508952 ], [ -83.507569, 41.509078
], [ -83.507752, 41.50974 ], [ -83.507841, 41.510002 ], [ -83.508447,
41.509233 ], [ -83.509096, 41.508401 ] ] ] } ,"id":"43463"}

Is this a bug or is my syntax incorrect?
