Unmet dependencies with ModelBaker > 6.4.0

[sjib]

If you have a newer version than 6.4.0 of Model Baker you will most probably get dependencies issues:

as Model Baker made some big changes.

So please manually download the 6.4.0 release Use ModelBaker 6.5.2 (updated 26.4.2023) and install that version from the .zip to use the INTERLIS Import / Export interface.

I encountered this problem, then I saw your issue, thks. I confirm qgep plugin loads with the 6.4.0 Model Baker.

Olivier told me, that I have to use modelbaker 7.0.x With 7.1.x I had also this dependencies-problem. With 7.0.3 it works.

Olivier wrote also to solve the problem: either adapt qgepqwat2ili to the new modelbaker version and include tests for modelbaker compatibility, or remove the dependency on modelbaker altogether.

Should be solved soon...

Thanks Urs didn't know there was an issue for this already.

As modelbaker v7 brings a lot of changes I would rather vote to adapt qgepqwat2ili to the new modelbaker version and include tests for modelbaker compatibility

[olivierdalang]

For this, here are the options I see:

1. adapt the code to modelbaker v7

• pros: relatively small change,
• cons: will break again in the future

2. vendor the new QgisModelBakerLibrary instead of depending on the plugin itself

• pro: sounds like a solid plan as this is probably a typical use case for that library
• cons: did not yet look into the library, not sure how standalone it is (I guess we need to redo some UI for manual configuration, and need to check it's usable without conflict with modelbaker.) and not sure if already stable (since very new)

3. remove modelbaker dependency completely, and instead reimplement some code to find out/configure javapath, and ship ili2pg binaries

• pro: one less dependency
• cons: we need to reimplement some already existing code, and reliably wrapping ili2db is not that easy (see codebase in modelbaker)

IMO option 1. makes sense in the short term as it's the smallest change, but would definitely suggest to plan 2 or 3 as soon as we have a more than short term roadmap.

@sjib @ponceta Am I correct we didn't decide on this at this stage and will leave it as is for now ? (and probably discuss that during next meeting ?)

With ModelBaker 6.4.0 it seems that you get
Info: ili2pg-4.4.6-70e53561bc07da8c82a9bd4dbe38db34a5116231 - which will produce the following error with VSA-DSS Export:
Info: create table structure, if not existing... Error: failed to insert meta info values to pg2ili_dss.T_ILI2DB_COLUMN_PROP Error: FEHLER: Wert zu lang für Typ character varying(1024)
This error is solved in the meantime by ili2db

-> Use ModelBaker 6.5.2 instead to avoid this.

This will still cause a problem with Postgres 15

Is solved with newer version of ili2pg - I packaged a special version of ModelBaker with that see #138 (comment)
