SystemStackError: stack level too deep on save model with RGeo::Geographic::SphericalPointImpl

[danil-z]

Hello, i follow blog tutorial and got strange error in rails console:

Place.create(latlon: 'POINT(1 1)')
   (7.2ms)  SELECT f_geometry_column,coord_dimension,srid,type FROM geometry_columns WHERE f_table_name='places'
   (0.3ms)  BEGIN
  SQL (5.3ms)  INSERT INTO "places" ("created_at", "latlon", "updated_at") VALUES ($1, $2, $3) RETURNING "id"  [["created_at", Sun, 08 Sep 2013 23:16:02 UTC +00:00], ["latlon", #<RGeo::Geographic::SphericalPointImpl:0x3fc250d2b73c "POINT (1.0 1.0)">], ["updated_at", Sun, 08 Sep 2013 23:16:02 UTC +00:00]]
   (0.5ms)  ROLLBACK
SystemStackError: stack level too deep

Maybe IRB bug!

my app is dead simple:

#app/models/place.rb
class Place < ActiveRecord::Base
  set_rgeo_factory_for_column(:latlon, RGeo::Geographic.spherical_factory(:srid => 4326))
end

#db/migrations/places.rb
class CreatePlaces < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    enable_extension 'postgis'
    create_table :places do |t|
      t.point :latlon, :geographic => true

      t.timestamps
    end
  end
end

[danil-z]

seems
gem 'meta_request'

cause this error

[mrbrdo]

I have the same problem on a migration, it indeed goes away if I remove the meta_request gem.

[joshuap]

+1

[eidge]

[DougHall]

+1 Same here. Removed meta_request gem.

[waissbluth]

I had the same problem. Also went away by removing meta_request.

[snkashis]

+1 had to remove meta_request gem. Posted trace in linked issue above.

[TangMonk]

+1 remove meta_request gem, works fine.

I'm still having this issue. Interesting bit is that this doesn't happen locally in development, but on CI/production. Any hints would be really helpful.

Locally:

>  geo
#<RGeo::Geos::CAPIPointImpl:0x3fea96a81388 "POINT (-72.99974601470639 41.54232501996399)">
>  geo.class
RGeo::Geos::CAPIPointImpl < Object
>  geo.to_s
"POINT (-72.99974601470639 41.54232501996399)"
>  geo.to_json
"\"POINT (-72.99974601470639 41.54232501996399)\""

On CI:

>  geo
=> #<RGeo::Cartesian::PointImpl:0x2b1646ef4ca0 "POINT (-72.7430602 41.7533888)">
>  geo.class
=> RGeo::Cartesian::PointImpl < Object
>  geo.to_s
=> "POINT (-72.7430602 41.7533888)"
>  geo.to_json
