Feature/1227 verify layers #1242
Conversation
- New endpoint - New dep (XMLParser, as GetCapabilities are XML and we can't rely on everyone using the new OGC Feature API which returns JSON) - Updated older deps - This initial implementation verifies only layers from WMS services.
- If a layer is reported missing (i.e. not available in GetCapabilities) we do one more check. We request a DescribeLayer (or DescribeFeatureType, for WFS services). Depending on the response, we can determine if the layer is really missing (if so, we keep it as missing), or if there may be any other problem with it (in that case, we mark it as 'problematic' and return in the response too). I think this might be a good addition to get reliable results back. - Tested for GeoServer and QGIS Server.
- There's no need to force users to upgrade only to use the verify layers functionality. - Instead, I've added a checker at start. We check if the current version is lower than the recommended one and show a nice warning about it so system admins can act upon it.

Note that you'll need latest LTS of node 18+. Just noticed in the code that this is well known :) But I think this is worth noting so people just dont deploy live and notices this later. |
Yes, I thought that the best way is to allow the process to run on older Node runtimes but display this message. It's not a mission critical in my opinion, so we want it to run anyway, but it's good to hint system admin that an update is welcome. :) |
Please take a quick look. The code is pretty isolated and I've ensured to do some checks so it won't crash arbitrarily, but feel free to leave comments!
