[GRASS-user] Error when creating a location using v.in.ogr from a geojson file.

[Panagiotis Mavrogiorgos]

Hi all,

I am trying to create a location by importing the following geojson file:

{
    "type": "FeatureCollection",
    "crs": {
        "type": "name",
        "properties": { "name": "urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::3358" }
    },
    "features": [
        {
            "type": "Feature",
            "properties": { "cat": 1 },
            "geometry": {
                "type": "Point",
                "coordinates": [ 638042.52336448605638,
223793.925233644869877, 0.0 ]
            }
        }
    ]
}

This is what I get:

GRASS 7.0.3svn (MyLoc):~/ > v.in.ogr -i location='foo_location'
input=~/reservoir_point.json  --verbose
WARNING: All available OGR layers will be imported into vector map
         <OGRGeoJSON>
Location <foo_location> created
ERROR: Syntax error in cell header

As you can see, the location gets created but then there is an ERROR. Can
anyone explain what is the problem in this case. Using a geojson file with
a different geometry type works just fine:

{
    "type": "FeatureCollection",
    "crs": {
        "type": "name",
        "properties": { "name": "urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::3358" }
    },
    "features": [
        {
            "type": "Feature",
            "properties": { "cat": 1 },
            "geometry": {
                "type": "LineString",
                "coordinates": [
                    [ 637714.48598130850587, 222910.747663551388541, 0.0 ],
                    [ 638484.112149532767944, 223453.271028037386714, 0.0 ],
                    [ 639026.635514018707909, 224197.663551401870791, 0.0 ],
                    [ 639152.803738317801617, 224803.271028037386714, 0.0 ]
                ]
            }
        }
    ]
}

I am using revision 67592.

all the best,
Panos
