Directions with avoid_borders all creates error 2099

Hi everyone,

I build a local server with the osm data for south america from Geofabric Geofabrik Download Server.

I used the newest build engine 6.6.3. When I calculate a route and try to avoid all borders with the following request:

  curl -X POST \
  'http://localhost:8080/ors/v2/directions/driving-car/json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, application/geo+json, application/gpx+xml, img/png; charset=utf-8' \
  -d '{"coordinates":[[-80.2785057947195,-3.49888363247019],[-79.97423389332448,-4.426234636183795]],"options":{"avoid_borders":"all"}}'

I receive the following error:

{"error":{"code":2099,"message":"Unable to compute a route"},"info":{"engine":{"version":"6.6.3","build_date":"2021-12-18T21:17:36Z"},"timestamp":16399

The ors log shows the following error:

2021-12-19 17:29:22,946 ERROR [routing.RoutingProfile] - java.lang.NullPointerException

If I do the same without the options everything works fine. The same call against your url https://api.openrouteservice.org/v2/directions/driving-car works fine.

I used the following app conf:

I have the same problem with a planet build with the above configuration. Is there anything wrong with the configuration to use the avoid_borders feature? Or is there an additional configuration required?

Hi @asigmund,

i think you are missing the configuration for the extended storage for borders:

Best regards

Hi @amandus,

thank you for the hint. I was able to make it run for the standard Heidelberg sample data. Here my steps:

  1. I created a data folder and placed in there all the required files:
    image
    You can find all the files here: GIScience

  2. Now I adjusted the docker-compose file to the following to make the files available in docker:

version: '2.4'
services:
  ors-app:
    container_name: ors-app-hd
    ports:
      - 8088:8080
      - 9001:9001
    image: openrouteservice/openrouteservice:latest
#    build:
#      context: ../
#      args:
#        ORS_CONFIG: ./openrouteservice/src/main/resources/ors-config-sample.json
#        OSM_FILE: ./openrouteservice/src/main/files/heidelberg.osm.gz
    user: "${ORS_UID:-0}:${ORS_GID:-0}"
    volumes:
      - ./graphs:/ors-core/data/graphs
      - ./elevation_cache:/ors-core/data/elevation_cache
      - ./logs/ors:/var/log/ors
      - ./logs/tomcat:/usr/local/tomcat/logs
      - ./conf:/ors-conf
      - ./data/heidelberg.osm.gz:/ors-core/data/osm_file.pbf
      - ./data/ids.csv:/ors-core/data/ids.csv
      - ./data/openborders.csv:/ors-core/data/openborders.csv
      - ./data/borders.geojson.tar.gz:/ors-core/data/borders.geojson.tar.gz
    environment:
      - BUILD_GRAPHS=True  # Forces the container to rebuild the graphs, e.g. when PBF is changed
      - "JAVA_OPTS=-Djava.awt.headless=true -server -XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=75 -XX:SurvivorRatio=64 -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=3 -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+ScavengeBeforeFullGC -XX:ParallelGCThreads=4 -Xms1g -Xmx2g"
      - "CATALINA_OPTS=-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9001 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port=9001 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=localhost"

Here the relevant change:

      - ./data/heidelberg.osm.gz:/ors-core/data/osm_file.pbf
      - ./data/ids.csv:/ors-core/data/ids.csv
      - ./data/openborders.csv:/ors-core/data/openborders.csv
      - ./data/borders.geojson.tar.gz:/ors-core/data/borders.geojson.tar.gz
  1. I adjusted like mention by @amandus the app.conf:

        "text": "This message would be sent with every request on API v1 from January 2020 until June 2050",
        "condition": {
          "api_version": 1,
          "time_after": "2020-01-01T00:00:00Z",
          "time_before": "2050-06-01T00:00:00Z"
        }
      },
      {
        "active": false,
        "text": "This message would be sent with every request"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Here the adjusted part:

"ext_storages": {
                "WayCategory": {},
                "HeavyVehicle": {},
                "WaySurfaceType": {},
                "RoadAccessRestrictions": {
                  "use_for_warnings": true
                },
				"Borders":{
					"boundaries":"/ors-core/data/borders.geojson.tar.gz",
					"ids":"/ors-core/data/ids.csv",
					"openborders":"/ors-core/data/openborders.csv"
				}
              }
  1. Then I trigger docker-compose up -d

  2. You can validate the avoid border feature with the following test calls:

Without avoid borders

curl -X POST \
  'http://localhost:8088/ors/v2/directions/driving-car' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, application/geo+json, application/gpx+xml, img/png; charset=utf-8' \
  -d '{"coordinates":[[8.69220892604095,49.41426934481985],[8.689622708880878,49.39705221373453]]}' 

And with the avoid border:

curl -X POST \
  'http://localhost:8088/ors/v2/directions/driving-car' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, application/geo+json, application/gpx+xml, img/png; charset=utf-8' \
  -d '{"coordinates":[[8.69220892604095,49.41426934481985],[8.689622708880878,49.39705221373453]],"options":{"avoid_borders":"all"}}'

The second call returns a longer driving time because he needs to route around the following borders of the sample data:
