Can't read shapefiles unless a bounding box is provided.

Hi guys,

may I ask for some help please, I am quite new to this and is my first time using tilemaker

I am getting an error after:
./tilemaker --input ../../merged-countries.osm.pbf --output ../../moldova-boxed-tilemaker2.mbtiles --process ../resources/process-openmaptiles.lua --config ../resources/config-openmaptiles.json

I’d guess that whatever tool you’ve used to merge the pbfs hasn’t written a bounding box when doing so. Have a look at the options for that tool and see if there’s one that will force it to do so.

Looks ok. You can use osmium fileinfo to check that the bounds have indeed been set. If you're still having problems then upload the file somewhere and I can take a look if I have a free moment.

 osmium fileinfo moldova-boxed.osm.pbf
File:
  Name: moldova-boxed.osm.pbf
  Format: PBF
  Compression: none
  Size: 123763369
Header:
  Bounding boxes:
    (26.49,45.21,30.56,48.57)
  With history: no
  Options:
    generator=osmium/1.14.0
    pbf_dense_nodes=true
    pbf_optional_feature_0=Sort.Type_then_ID
    sorting=Type_then_ID

very kind and thx for your time, I can't attach it here we don't support that file type. Can do through discord or email

oh wait... I used the wrong file in the input:
/tilemaker --input ../../merged-countries.osm.pbf needs to be: moldova-boxed.osm.pbf

many thanks for the hint

does work:
Filled the tileset with good things at ../../moldova-boxed-tilemaker2.mbtiles

That's great!
