Protobuf files started to produce decoding errors

[PJ Meyer]

Hi,

This seems to have worked yesterday, but today the TripUpdate.pb and VehiclePosition.pb protobufs seem to be producing decoding errors

Code

import gtfs_realtime_pb2

import requests

feed = gtfs_realtime_pb2.FeedMessage()

response = requests.get("https://www.rtd-denver.com/files/gtfs-rt/TripUpdate.pb")

feed.ParseFromString(response.content)

Result

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File <redacted>, line 6, in <module>
    feed.ParseFromString(response.content)
google.protobuf.message.DecodeError: Error parsing message

I tried regenerating the latest proto file from Google's GTFS specs, but I get the same error.

Although, the Alerts.pb does work. So this seems like some kind of schema change perhaps? The content coming through does look like a collection of protobuf bytes, and getting a 200, it just can't parse it into FeedMessage.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

PJ

Looks like VehiclePosition.pb started to work (and Alerts.pb still works), but TripUpdate.pb is still not decoding with the GTFS proto schema. Any update here?

And now TripUpdate.pb started to decode again today! Not sure what changed, but now it's all good!
