and yes, our team is reporting some atlas creation problems
Okay, I think I just triggered a restart. Let us know if it starts working again in a few minutes. If not, @mojodna can probably debug in a couple hours.
wah wah :(
a couple hours is OK though, don't panic. we have backup plans.
sorry that wasn't clear above
hmm. And I don't think there's any way to figure out the parameters that caused the failure, without diving into the database (and maybe not even then). What, roughly, were the settings you were using?
Like, the extent, the tile layer, etc.
standard OSM basemap
this is more or less standard for the areas our team creates. sometimes they go a little larger
So, like something like this? http://fieldpapers.org/compose#15/7.4695/80.6253 (picking a random spot it Sri Lanka)
So you're probably around zoom 15?
sorry if I seem vague, I am always relaying requests from our team here and they are very resistant to providing details about errors
"it is broken robert"
Okay, it's failing for me, too.
Well, to be fair, the error message doesn't give your team very much info to work with! It seems like we should print out the parameters on that error page, at least.
I'll see if we can get more info queued up for @mojodna, since I'm pretty sure I won't be able to fix it myself.
You might want to tell your team to use the Humanitarian style for now
I'm not sure what's wrong with OSM right now. Now I'm going to be AFK for a bit, hopefully this helps!
nick and i were wrestling with this in DC a couple weeks ago and basically decided that anything that uses a web-based tile service is inevitably going to have problems
(OSM + the humanitarian style are the 2 biggest offenders)
my inclination is to fetch extracts from Overpass that match the size of the atlas and use that to locally render the OSM style
that way we have a bit more control over things (though not Overpass)
@almccon thanks for troubleshooting! I will send my team the tip re: humanitarian style
For example, here's a scan that I'm testing with (it's pretty good quality): http://fieldpapers.org/snapshots/1pkbvagg#19/43.59052/-116.19452
But when I try to use it in iD on a retina macbook, the resolution is pretty much unusable.
So this seems to be a different problem than the one that was happening previously, where the default OSM style was getting throttled.
hi all! Cadasta is going to participate in Outreachy and hopefully Google Summer of Code this next round. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in mentoring any field papers type internships. One possible GSoC one would be to make it so larger format scanning is possible. I guess it would require creating an android app or finding one we could use to scan a large plotter size piece of paper and then making that work in the OCR
@rbanick Hii, Please check the issues of the Fieldpaper, I couldn't create the fieldpaper map
