Group Shapefiles in Folder

[rajadain]

Currently, the Shapefiles are exported to HydroShare at the top level, where they are mixed in with other file types:

In order to open a Shapefile, all the files have to be available in the same folder. hs_restclient supports creating folders, as does their UI. However, while a user can create folders in the UI, creating those via hs_restclient or the API results in a HydroShareNotAuthorized error. This is a problem on their end and they are looking in to it: hydroshare/hydroshare#2537.

Once that is resolved, uncomment these lines:

model-my-watershed/src/mmw/apps/export/views.py

Lines 90 to 94 in 9b10846

	# TODO Re-enable once hydroshare/hydroshare#2537 is fixed,
	# and export all GeoJSON and Shapefiles in that folder
	# aoi_folder = 'area-of-interest'
	# hs.createResourceFolder(resource, pathname=aoi_folder)

And update these lines:

model-my-watershed/src/mmw/apps/export/views.py

Lines 112 to 117 in 9b10846

	for ext in SHAPEFILE_EXTENSIONS:
	filename = '/tmp/{}.{}'.format(resource, ext)
	with open(filename) as shapefile:
	hs.addResourceFile(resource, shapefile,
	'area-of-interest.{}'.format(ext))
	os.remove(filename)

to reflect the folder name, like this:

for ext in SHAPEFILE_EXTENSIONS:
    filename = '/tmp/{}.{}'.format(resource, ext)
    with open(filename) as shapefile:
        hs.addResourceFile(resource, shapefile,
                           '{}/shape.{}'.format(aoi_folder, ext))
    os.remove(filename)

Unblocked as hydroshare/hydroshare#2537 is complete.

Still seeing the same behavior on beta, it is likely that their update hasn't been deployed yet.

Interestingly, this seems to be happening by itself now:

Possibly a consequence of

model-my-watershed/src/mmw/apps/export/views.py

Lines 199 to 203 in 039740c

	# Add geographic coverage
	endpoint.functions.set_file_type({
	'file_path': 'area-of-interest.shp',
	'hs_file_type': 'GeoFeature',
	})

in #2609.

I'm going to add a commit to remove the TODOs.
