#3205: missing output for TopoGeo_AddLineString
----------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  remic     |      Owner:  strk
     Type:  defect    |     Status:  new
 Priority:  medium    |  Milestone:  PostGIS 2.1.9
Component:  topology  |    Version:  2.1.x

 it seems like the return of TopoGeo_AddLineString
 is missing something.

 here is the script (bottom)

 The error in TopoGeo_AddLineString seems to be ligne 90 94
 "start_node := topology.TopoGeo_AddPoint"
 From what I understood, topogeo_addpoint has the ability to split edges,
 but we don't have any way to get the edge_id of the split edge by
 addpoint.

 I don't see an easy workaround (would need to modify topogeo_addpoint to
 return edge_id, which is a big API change).
 The simplest would be to check before addpoint if the point is going to
 split,
 then if yes save edge_id already existing, addpoint, then look for thhe
 new edge_id resulting from the split.
 There would be worysome cornercase (what if addpoint is used on top of an
 existing node)

 ----------------

 SELECT DropTopology('test_postgis_topology');
 SELECT CreateTopology('test_postgis_topology',0,0.1,false); --2

 DROP TABLE IF EXISTS  test_postgis_topology.test_topogeo_linestring ;
 CREATE TABLE test_postgis_topology.test_topogeo_linestring AS
 SELECT 1 AS gid, 'id1' AS id,ST_GeomFromtext('LINESTRING(0 0 , 10 10)',0)
 AS geom
 UNION
 SELECT 2 AS gid, 'id2' AS id, ST_GeomFromtext('LINESTRING(0 10 , 10 0)',0)
 ;

 WITH result_addlinestring AS (
 SELECT id,  topology.TopoGeo_AddLineString(
                 'test_postgis_topology'
                 , geom
                 , 0.01) as edge_id
     FROM test_postgis_topology.test_topogeo_linestring
 )
 SELECT count(*) = 4 AS is_TopoGeo_AddLineString_working
 FROM (SELECT DISTINCT * FROM result_addlinestring) AS sub ;

 DROP TABLE IF EXISTS  test_postgis_topology.test_topogeo_linestring ;
 SELECT DropTopology('test_postgis_topology');

 ----------------

 The function should return 4 different edge_ids, which it does not.


 Hint for workaround : post processing, looking for edge_id that have not
 been returned,
 with surface distance

 SELECT DISTINCT ON (pe.edge_id) edge_id, gid
     FROM problematic_edges AS pe, my_source_lines AS ul
     WHERE ST_DWithin(pe.geom,t,1) = TRUE
     ORDER BY pe.edge_id,
 ST_Area(ST_Intersection(ST_Buffer(pe.geom,1,'quad_segs=2'),ST_Buffer(ul,1,'quad_segs=2')))
 DESC
