Error with London_air_photo demo data

[David Wormuth]

Can't seem to download this file without errors.

Is there a problem with the name? Anyone else grab the file?

Is there a direct download URL?

Hi David,

 

This script seems to work for me (sub in your floating license ID):

 

What version of the Whitebox Workflows for Python (WbW) are you using? V1.0.5?

 

Cheers,

 

John

I get this error, with floating license or node-locked:

Downloading sample data...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/dwormuth/Documents/GIS_Data/WhiteboxGeo/getDemoFiles.py", line 14, in <module>

[dir: /Users/dwormuth/Documents/GIS_Data/WhiteboxGeo]

All the other demo files downloaded as expected except the London_air_photo.

It's always at 30.2s as well. Weird.

Using 1.0.5 and on macOS Monterey, same error on Windows 10 but takes 31.1s

So I was running this a "build" in Sublime Text on Mac and Windows. Worked when I ran it from the command line.

Must have been a Sublime Text gremlin

Thanks

I’m thankful to hear that it worked out for you David. There is a time-out for the network request, that can impact the success of a download, particularly on slower Internet connections. I have recently upped it to 120 seconds on the development branch and it’ll be available to you when I release v1.0.6 soon. This particular sample data set is the largest of the currently available data sets and so it’s not surprising that you had issue with this one and not the others. Hopefully with the longer time-out that will be available in v1.0.6 others won’t experience this same issue.
