[gdal-dev] ogr2ogr explanations for error XML parsing of GML file failed?

[Jeroen Hovens]

Hi,

 

I use QGIS on Windows10 which comes with GDAL. The latest QGIS LTR (3.40.14)
uses GDAL 3.12.1

In QGIS I can open a terminal (browser panel, rightclick a folder and select
Open in Terminal) and immediately use ogr2ogr to convert a WFS to a
geopackage, because QGIS has altered the path to include the GDAL directory

However, with some WFS services ogr2ogr throws an error. I have no trouble
using those WFS services in QGIS.

 

For instance, this one I can't convert:

ogr2ogr -f gpkg test.gpkg
WFS:"https://service.pdok.nl/kadaster/bestuurlijkegebieden/wfs/v1_0?"
Provinciegebied -overwrite -nln provincie_kadaster

But this one I can:

ogr2ogr -f gpkg test2.gpkg WFS:"https://map.data.amsterdam.nl/maps/gebieden"
wijk -overwrite -nln amsterdam_wijk

 

The first WFS is part of a large Dutch open data organization and depending
on which WFS  I choose from them I see two different errors:

ERROR 1: XML parsing of GML file failed : no element found at line 27,
column 31065   (or different numbers)

Or

ERROR 1: XML parsing of GML file failed : unclosed token at line 555, column
9

 

I was able to compare a debug on with someone who was able to convert the
WFS to a gpkg and this part was surely different

VSICURL: Read attempt beyond end of file

VSICURL: Read attempt beyond end of file

 

After this, the error appeared.

 

 

To make things more complicated:

When I open a Windows Prompt (terminal) and set a path to the GDAL directory
in QGIS using set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\QGIS 3.40.14\bin

I can also use ogr2ogr.

Interestingly, now I can convert both WFS datasets to gpkg.

 

What could be different with the QGIS Terminal setting from a Windows Prompt
setting with the path set that would explain the errors?

What might be different in both WFS services that triggers these errors?

 

 

 

Kind regards,

 

Jeroen Hovens
