Re: [HOT] Bounding box not in iD Editor anymore

[Blake Girardot HOT/OSM]

Hi Mike, hi all,

Mike, I found out why you now get the purple task box again: OSM made
a change to how the OSM website works with secure connections
yesterday which fixes the issue with the purple task outline loading
in iD.

This means everyone should start seeing the purple task outline in the
iD editor now!

Cheers,
Blake

Re: [HOT] Bounding box not in iD Editor anymore

[Mike Thompson]

Blake,

Thanks for your reply and explanation of the situation, and thanks to
everyone who is working on getting the fix deployed. I thought the problem
might have something to do with the fact there were so many of us hitting
the wifi at our venue, and hence causing the content request for the
bounding box from the other website to timeout.

I wonder if iD might be changed in the future to optionally accept four
parameters (minx, miny, maxx, maxy) and use those to generate the bounding
box (or better yet hatch out the area outside the bbox like JOSM)
internally, rather than having to pull the information from another site.

Rebecca,

Thanks for the work around!  I keep that handy in case this happens again.

Mike

Re: [HOT] Bounding box not in iD Editor anymore

[Rebecca Firth]

Appreciate all the hard work going into getting this fixed - thank you very
much, especially to David who was meant to have been enjoying some time off.

Luckily there is a workaround which means iD mapping is still possible! I
hasten to add, it wasn't figured out by me. If you're mapping this weekend,
you can use this:

   1. Load task in iD
   2. Return to Task on TM, go back to 'edit with' and select JOSM
   3. You will get an error message about JOSM remote control, but it will
   give you access to a section of the JOSM menu
   4. From the section that reads "*Tip: Download the following .gpx file
    and load it in JOSM in
   order to see the current task boundary" *right click on *".gpx file" *and
   select *"Save link as" -* I put mine in my downloads folder.
   5. Back to the iD *tab in your browser, and have file manager open as
   well - drag & drop the downloaded .gpx file onto the window of ID -- then
   wait...*
   6. If all goes well you now have the square on your iD screen.* It took
   a while to load on my setup & a message about waiting or closing appeared -
   but it has loaded each time I've tried.*

Thanks, and if you have any questions send them through to i...@hotosm.org.

Re: [HOT] Bounding box not in iD Editor anymore

[Blake Girardot HOT/OSM]

HI Mike,

First off, our apologies for this issue. I can not really imagine the
difficulty of running a mapathon with this issue going on.

It has been very difficult for us to resolve, but Nate, David, Pierre,
Ethan and myself have really been focused on it since the problem
appeared a few days ago. It took all of us (well, all of them, I was
mostly just panicking the whole time) to track down the issue and then
develop and test the fixes, which are a mix of Tasking Manager code
changes and configuration changes to multiple parts of our web server
software.

We have figured out the fixes earlier today, but it is, pretty
complicated, and time consuming to deploy on our production server and
we were not able to accomplish it today because David is travelling
this evening.

Honestly, it is just a symptom of the difficult nature of the problem
that you are now getting the purple task square again. We have made no
changes to our production server. Different browsers handle the
underlying problem (technically called a "mixed-content" issue)
differently. Aside from maybe a different browser, or different
browser version, or a different OS, I am not sure why you are getting
the purple square now.

Sometime tomorrow at the latest David and Nate will be able to roll
the fixes to our software and systems out to our main production
Tasking Manager server and then everyone should start getting the
purple task square in iD again.

Nate Smith, David Neudorfer, Pierre Giraud and Ethan Smith are among
the very best at what they do and we are lucky to have them working
and volunteering for HOT.

Again, our apologies for the problem, it has been our top priority to
get fixed this week.

Respectfully,
Blake

Re: [HOT] Bounding box not in iD Editor anymore

[Mike Thompson]

We held a mapathon yesterday evening (5pm - 7pm US MST) with about 60
people in attendance.  None of the participants ever got the purple box
 bounding box in iD, despite multiple attempts. I see it is now working.
Was there a problem yesterday that has subsequently been fixed?

Re: [HOT] Bounding box not in iD Editor anymore

[Rebecca Firth]

Hi All,

Re-kindling this thread as another mapper and myself appear to be
experiencing the bounding box issue again (in Safari and Chrome) across a
few different tasks.

Re-pasting the workaround instructions from before for anyone mapping
presently:


   1. Load task in iD
   2. Return to Task on TM, go back to 'edit with' and select JOSM
   3. You will get an error message about JOSM remote control, but it will
   give you access to a section of the JOSM menu
   4. From the section that reads "*Tip: Download the following .gpx file
    and load it in JOSM in
   order to see the current task boundary" *right click on *".gpx file" *and
   select *"Save link as" -* I put mine in my downloads folder.
   5. Back to the iD *tab in your browser, and have file manager open as
   well - drag & drop the downloaded .gpx file onto the window of ID -- then
   wait...*
   6. If all goes well you now have the square on your iD screen.* It took
   a while to load on my setup & a message about waiting or closing appeared -
   but it has loaded each time I've tried. *

Thanks,

Rebecca

Re: [HOT] Bounding box not in iD Editor anymore

[Blake Girardot HOT/OSM]

Hi Nick!

Your work around is great and working for people! Thank you very much!

Pierre Giraud, just put a hotfix on the Tasking Manager to make your
solution easier. This is live now.

The link to the .gpx file now shows up on the iD Editor menu
selection, you do not need to try josm and have it fail. Just go back
to the page and dowload the .gpx file from the iD Editor selected
dialog.

A screenshot is attached to make it more clear.

Thank you again Nick and Pierre!

Respectfully,
Blake

Re: [HOT] Bounding box not in iD Editor anymore

[Orla McManus]

Hi Nick,

This works for me. A quick How to would be great!

Thanks very much,
Orla

Hi,



A quick but dirty workaround



1. Load task in iD

2. return to Task on TM, go back to 'edit with' and select JOSM

3. You will get an error message about JOSM remote control, but it will give 
you access to a section of the JOSM menu

4. From the section that reads "Tip: Download the following .gpx 
file<http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/2442/task/211.gpx> and load it in JOSM in 
order to see the current task boundary" right click on ".gpx file" and select 
"Save link as" - I put mine in my downloads folder.

4. Back to the iD tab in your browser, and have file manager open as well - 
drag & drop the downloaded .gpx file onto the window of ID -- then wait...

5. If all goes well you now have the square on your iD screen. It took a while 
to load on my setup & a message about waiting or closing appeared - but it has 
loaded each time I've tried.



I'll try to put together a quick howto with images on LearnOSM and make it 
downloadable. Feedback as to whether this works for everyone would be 
appreciated in case I have to make amendments.

Regards


Nick

Has this been removed with a recent update of iD Editor? Will this

We have a mapathon organised for Wednesday with all beginners and it will be

Re: [HOT] Bounding box not in iD Editor anymore

[Jan Martinec]

Hello,

Indeed, loading the task border takes a long time, and sometimes even times
out without a result - in iD and in JOSM as well.

Apparently there's a performance problem at the server running the Tasking
Manager, which seems to be related to this.

It seems there are attempts to resolve this (the "Task Manager slowness"
thread), but so far I have seen temporary speedups followed by relapse.

Best regards,
Jan "Piskvor" Martinec

Can confirm. Have noticed that the bounding box doesn't always display.
Usually closing the tab and relaunching 1-2 times results in it appearing.
If logs / javascript console output is useful for tracking down the issue,

Hi,

Just to add in on this one, there are quite a lot of mapathons going on
over the next few days, including a group of students in Botswana mapping
from today for the next two weeks.

@Bryan - I had noticed over the past few months that sometimes the pink box
didn't load immediately when you loaded a square, and you needed to wait
quite a while or reload the square to see it. Not sure if others had seen
the same.

Thanks,

Rebecca
