missing output for TopoGeo_AddLineString

[remic]

it seems like the return of TopoGeo_AddLineString is missing something.

here is the script (bottom)

The error in TopoGeo_AddLineString seems to be ligne 90 94 "start_node := topology.TopoGeo_AddPoint" From what I understood, topogeo_addpoint has the ability to split edges, but we don't have any way to get the edge_id of the split edge by addpoint.

I don't see an easy workaround (would need to modify topogeo_addpoint to return edge_id, which is a big API change). The simplest would be to check before addpoint if the point is going to split, then if yes save edge_id already existing, addpoint, then look for thhe new edge_id resulting from the split. There would be worysome cornercase (what if addpoint is used on top of an existing node)

The function should return 4 different edge_ids, which it does not.

Hint for workaround : post processing, looking for edge_id that have not been returned, with surface distance

SELECT DISTINCT ON (pe.edge_id) edge_id, gid

FROM problematic_edges AS pe, my_source_lines AS ul WHERE ST_DWithin(pe.geom,t,1) = TRUE ORDER BY pe.edge_id, ST_Area(ST_Intersection(ST_Buffer(pe.geom,1,'quad_segs=2'),ST_Buffer(ul,1,'quad_segs=2'))) DESC
