Problem creating topology on pgrouting

[rmarzocchi84]

I import my OSM data using osm2pgrouting and then I try to create topology with pgrouting topology functions:

1)pgr_createTopology works correctly

SELECT pgr_createTopology('network.ways', 0.001, 'the_geom', 'gid');

2. pgr_createVerticesTable fails

SELECT  pgr_createVerticesTable('network.ways');

Here the error:

PROCESSING:
pgr_createVerticesTable('network.ways','the_geom','source','target','true')
Performing checks, please wait .....
Got cannot truncate a table referenced in a foreign key constraint
ERROR: Initializing vertex table
select count(*) from network.ways WHERE (the_geom IS NULL or source is null or target is null)=true  AND (true)

  Using this method of creating the topology the user in in charge of creating appropriate indexes to the tables.
  Please if this new method works for you add a comment here:

I try to follow the instruction in the https://docs.pgrouting.org/dev/en/pgr_extractVertices.html#create-a-routing-topology page:

NOTES:

1. to drop the vertices table imported with osm2pgrouting DROP TABLE IF EXISTS vertices_table; I need to drop constrains:

ALTER TABLE edge_table DROP CONSTRAINT ways_target_fkey;
ALTER TABLE edge_table DROP CONSTRAINT ways_target_osm_fkey;
ALTER TABLE edge_table DROP CONSTRAINT ways_source_fkey;
ALTER TABLE edge_table DROP CONSTRAINT ways_source_osm_fkey;

2. --Create the vertices table seems to works not correctly:
   Updated Rows 34701 (not selected !!)

In fact

SELECT  * FROM pgr_extractVertices(
  'SELECT gid, the_geom AS geom FROM edge_table',
  dryrun => true); 

extract 0 row

and

select * from vertices_table;

the result is the following:

in_edges and out_edges are null

Finally

WITH
out_going AS (
  SELECT id AS vid, unnest(out_edges) AS eid, x, y
  FROM vertices_table
)
UPDATE edge_table
SET source = vid, x1 = x, y1 = y
FROM out_going WHERE gid = eid;
