[mkgmap-dev] logging improvement

Mon May 24 16:53:43 BST 2021

Hi Mike,

I tried the patch with 3 tiles around my home and got two messages about flare roads from the old code where I could not find a problem. The patched code doesn't report them with --report-roundabout-issues=all
I got some messages about arcs going in and similar, quite confusing because the reported way id is on the opposite site of the roundabout (RoadMerger merged some roundabout ways).
I found no false positive in my quick check.

I still don't know what this new config file is about. Maybe you intended to add a sample in your patch?
I still prefer to remove all those reporting functions instead of adding complexity. In my eyes mkgmap is simply not the right tool for OSM QA checks.

Hi Gerd,

I know that the field in CheckRoundabouts is never read. It is because the
roundabout direction check is done elsewhere and it re-evaluates the option.
I felt it was better to have the code evaluate the option here for clarity
even if it is not used in that module.

I don't consider it important that the combination of using deprecated and
non-deprecated options be documented. It won't break anything and is
unlikely to ever be experienced.

I'm not sure what is unclear about "Provide a configuration file containing
the rules to be used with the --check-roundabouts=flares option in
determining whether a pair of roads joining a roundabout should be
considered to be flares".

The existing flare handling code is completely useless as it reports far
more incorrect warnings about roads that are not actually flares than those
than are. This patch uses a set of rules to improve the identification of
flares and drop the majority of undesired warnings. It is not perfect, but
is pretty good at identifying flares in the UK which is the area I've tested
it on (and have used it to correct many of the issues reported). The config
file allows the rules to be tweaked if desired to suit other environments or
requirements. I would not want the rules to be hard coded and thus
unchangeable. I suggest you compare the warnings output by this version to
those by the existing code.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike/all,

some remarks:
- the field RoundaboutCheck.checkRoundaboutDirections is never read. I also
see no easy way to move that check from StyledConverter to RoundaboutCheck.
- it's a bit unclear what the program will do when a mix of new and old
options is used.
- Looking at the docs I've no clue what
--roundabout-flare-rules-config=filename is about. This looks like total
overkill to me as I have no clue why mkgmap should care about the geometry
of flare roads in the first place. What kind of problem should be detected
by those tests and what are those rules about?

Gerd

Hi Gerd,

Please find attached a version that functions that way.

Hi Mike,

I want that --check-roundabouts doesn't produce any messages in the console
when no logging.properties are used, just reverses wrong roundabouts.
That's what happened before the logging changes, right?

Hi Gerd,

Do you mean that --check-roundabouts (and --check-roundabout-flares)  should
not switch on any checks? If so, I think it would be best to change the
wording from deprecated to obsolete in the messages and documentation, to
indicate you won't get any checks.

Another way would be to make those options stop execution, thus forcing
users to choose whatever new option they want.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike,

I meant to only set fixRoundaboutDirections to true when --check-roundabouts
is used.
My understanding is that only few users care about the messages from the
checks, they just enabled the option in the hope for better results in the
map.

HI Gerd,

Happy to set --fix-roundabout-direction on if --check-roundabouts is set -
see attached updated patch.

The reversing it message is only shown when fixRoundaboutDirections is set
to true.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike,

sorry, that slipped my mind.
I've not tried it yet but I think the deprecated --check-roundabouts option
should be interpreted as  --fix-roundabout-direction
so that the IMG file is the same as before.
The message "... reversing it " is logged when --check-roundabouts  is used
but the way is not reversed?

Hi Gerd,

I have already sent you the roundabout checks patch which covers both of the
requests. It may have got missed as I know you are heavily involved in other
issues at the moment. I've attached a copy.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike,

I've hoped for a patch reg. the messages about roundabouts for users without
a logging.config.
I think we need a way to enable the functionality of reversing roundabouts
(done in StyledConverter) without also getting all the check messages from
RoadNetwork.

Hi Gerd,

Please find attached the updated patch. In most cases where ways are
duplicated, the duplicate ways are given a faked id. However, there are 3
places in StyledConverter where the id is copied rather than using a faked
id - in addRoad, splitWayAt and makeCycleWay. I am unsure as to whether this
is intentional or an oversight, so have left the id as it is currently (I
have had to introduce new Way copy constructors to handle this). If these
should also use a faked id, I can update the patch.

I have followed your suggestion of amending the similar arcs code to get rid
of duplicated ways, and using my style file have reduced the number of
similar arcs warnings from about 21000 to about 600 which also results in a
reduction in size of the gmapsupp file. I will be posting this patch
shortly.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Gerd,

There are lots of pedestrian areas that are relations. Some of these overlap
with adjacent pedestrian areas and produce a warning like:

Similar arcs (generated way) and (generated way) found at
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=50.728438&mlon=-1.143728&zoom=17

However, don't commit it yet - I have realised that although this fixes most
of the messages, there are some still being displayed as generated way,
presumably because the relation is copied prior to being used. I'm looking
at this now. The above example after the patch displays:

Similar arcs (generated way) and
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/9381074) found at
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=50.728438&mlon=-1.143728&zoom=17

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike,

please help me: In what situation do we create roads from ways which were
created from relations?

Hi Gerd,

Please find attached a small patch that changes the logging of RoadDef when
the original element is a relation. Currently it just says "generated way";
with the patch it gives the URL of the relation in the same way as it does
for ways.

Cheers,
Mike
