Package: gpsprune Version: 20.2-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream If I generate a gpx file with 'OSM Route manager', specifically the Ceredigion Coast path https://osmrm.openstreetmap.de/relation.jsp?id=1806040
when I try to load it with GPSprune it says: "Error reading file: The processing instruction target matching '[xX][mM][lL]' is not allowed." This is quite a cryptic error. If try 'Import file with GPSbabel' instead I get the somewhat more helpful "GPX Read error: 'XML declaration not at start of document. "File: /tmp/Ceredigion+Coast+Path.gpx" Line: 13 column: 55' Looking at the file (attached) it has 12 leading blank lines. (0x0A unix linefeeds). Looks like GPSprune is expecting the xml header to be on the first line. If you remove those 12 lines then the file loads as expected. Now I presume that GPSprune is following the gpx spec, but perhaps it could be forgiving of leading whitespace? Certainly it could give a more useful error message of the form 'Could not load file <name>: invalid GPX file'. I had a look at the gpx spec, and the schema is here: https://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd but I guess that whether the xml line must be on the very first line is actually part of the XML spec. I failed to find a simple validator I could run to check whether The codebase for OSMRM is here: https://github.com/osmrmhv/osmrmhv/issues so it you are happy that GPSprune is correct to reject this file then I guess I should file an issue there instead. -- Wookey
