Geocube doesn't load gpd Dataframe

[Stoofik]

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

from geocube.api.core import make_geocube
import geopandas as gpd

# load
path = R"path.gpkg"
shp = gpd.read_file(path)

# create geocube
blds_cube = make_geocube(
    vector_data=shp,
    measurements=["to_tif"],
    output_crs=3857,
    resolution=(-2, 2),
    fill=0
)

Problem description

Geocube doesn't work...
Ends with error:
pyproj.exceptions.CRSError: Expect string or any object with .to_epsg() or .to_wkt() methods

Expected Output

Geocube works as expected. No changes to previously working code have been made

Are you able to provide the input file to re-produce this issue?

Are you able to provide the input file to re-produce this issue?

I can recreate this behavior by simply drawing random polygons in QGIS into blank new file and use them as path.gpkg.
I tried this on different machines and it does the same.

For example this simple file

rnp.zip

If you change output_crs="EPSG:3857" it works.

Can't believe it... I just ran the same script as I used before, although I am using shared scripts and machines... It still makes little sense. I am very sorry I didn't fully investigate.

[snowman2]

No worries. Thanks for the report. There is a fix coming upstream. See: opendatacube/odc-geo#64
