Trouble adding areas with using KML files

Using farmOS
1

Hello everyone,

I’m new to this platform, and I’m trying to set up my farm on it.

I’m currently following the directions here to add my fields as areas. I managed fine when manually drawing the geometry, but I can’t import them with KML files. Here is what happens:

  1. I scroll down to ‘file attachments - > files’ and browse for my klm file and upload it. Page sort of refreshes and shows my file as uploaded.
  2. I scroll up and click ‘Find using files field’. Map refreshes but no polygon is added, ‘Geometry’ text box is still empty.

What am I missing here?

I’m on Windows 10 and Chrome Version 86.0.4240.198 (Official Build) (64-bit)
I’m not allowed to attach kml files here so I put it up here if anyone wants to have a look.

Welcome to the farmOS community forum @volc! Thanks for reporting this - I’ve heard the same issue from another person recently. It may be a bug that has surfaced. Not sure what has changed that would cause it - we should open a new bug report and investigate.

Ah ha! This turned out to be a bug introduced in a new version of the Geocoder module: https://www.drupal.org/project/geocoder/issues/3181471

Luckily, someone else already diagnosed it and provided a patch that fixes it! :slight_smile:

I have added this patch to farmOS: https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/commit/323da428ab825de91a397c8db2f8956c17184770

And I have deployed it to Farmier-hosted sites. So should be all fixed!

@volc if you are hosting on Farmier, give it another try and see if it works for you now. If you are self-hosting, the easiest thing to do might be to manually apply the patch above. Let me know if you need some instructions for that.

Thank you for the fix @mstenta, I am indeed on Farmier and I just tried, everything seems to be working now.
