Box and Point locations do not serialize into stable XML

[Roel]

• PyDOV version: master
• Python version: 3.10.6
• Operating System: ubuntu

Description

The pydov.util.location.Box and pydov.util.location.Point classes use a random gml:id since pydov 3.0.0 and GML 3.2. This has as a consequence that they do not serialize into stable XML anymore, causing issues in the RepeatableLog(Recorder|Replayer).

What I Did

from pydov.util.location import Point
from owslib.etree import etree

p1 = Point(10, 10)
p1_xml = etree.tostring(p1.get_element())
print(p1_xml)

p2 = Point(10, 10)
p2_xml = etree.tostring(p2.get_element())
print(p2_xml)

print('XML is equal:', p1_xml == p2_xml)

b'<gml32:Point xmlns:gml32="http://www.opengis.net/gml/3.2" srsDimension="2" srsName="http://www.opengis.net/gml/srs/epsg.xml#31370" gml32:id="pydov.1D2pYSHo"><gml32:pos>10.000000 10.000000</gml32:pos></gml32:Point>'

XML is equal: False
