#28441 closed Cleanup/optimization (fixed)

GEOS version parsing fails if it has a trailing hash

Description

Importing some classes (e.g. from django.contrib.gis.db.backends.base.features import BaseSpatialFeatures) using libgeos.py causes GEOSException('Could not parse version info string "%s"' % ver) django.contrib.gis.geos.error.GEOSException: Could not parse version info string "3.6.2-CAPI-1.10.2 4d2925d6"
I have been investigated this problem a bit. The reason is probably wrong version_regex in line 182 of libgeos.py
Exactly part corresponding to parse commit id (or whatever means " 4d2925d6" in version_string)

Use django 1.11 on freebsd 11

4d2925d6 is the commit for 3.6.2 tagged on:
https://github.com/OSGeo/geos/tree/4d2925d6e0c758742a178053132eef02cd8374d2

So it looks like the commit hash was added to the version string.

And it looks like this is the commit that changed the version:
https://github.com/OSGeo/geos/commit/cc5e205e5b4c7d4ee567bf39a548e65ecf51dd0e
More specifically:
https://github.com/OSGeo/geos/commit/cc5e205e5b4c7d4ee567bf39a548e65ecf51dd0e#diff-8dd96440c9832c59176dcaa7c346b982

Hope this helps.

I guess we should fix this on 1.11.x so we don't block the use of newer versions of GEOS there. PR for stable/1.11.x

Is this scheduled to be released soon?

If anyone has this issue on macOS and does not know how to solve it, this should do the trick:

brew switch geos 3.6.1

comment:8 by Tim Graham, 7 years ago

Bug fix releases happen monthly, usually on the first of the month.

I met this kind of problem in Mac OS 10.12.6, django version 1.11.4.
My geos version is 3.6.2. I installed the plugins using brew.

This was fixed in 1.11.5 (which will be released this week).

Please also fix this in Django 1.8.

Rudolph, please take the time to read our backporting policy to understand why this wasn't backported to 1.8 before re-opening a closed ticket.

At this point, and when this ticket was reported as well, only security fixes and data loss bug qualify for a 1.8 backport.

I'm running into this problem in Django 1.11.25, Debian testing/bullseye:

  File "/home/nik/src/d/blackrock/ve/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/contrib/gis/geos/libgeos.py", line 196, in geos_version
_info
    raise GEOSException('Could not parse version info string "%s"' % ver)
django.contrib.gis.geos.error.GEOSException: Could not parse version info string "3.8.0-CAPI-1.13.1 "

Nikolas, thanks for this report, however Django 1.11 doesn't receive bugfixes anymore (it is in extended support).

Replying to Nikolas Nyby:

Had same issue today. Resolved by downgrading geos to 3.7.2 and gdal to 3.0.1.
