[OSM-talk] newbies Digest, Vol 26, Issue 15 - can't upload

[Mike Harris]

I have raised a ticket for this but would appreciate any help so that I can
make some progress ...

I tackled API6 with JOSM for the first time today. My first attempt - a
small edit - worked like a dream and the update appeared OK on the next
download from OSM.

My next attempt was a much bigger set of edits - this repeatedly fails to
upload. The error message has to be read in sections as it is too long for
the dialogue box but after several failed uploads I can see I am getting a
java error java.io.IOException and an OSM server error code 409. I have been
industriously filling in the new comment box!

I have tried downloading immediately before uploading. This always gives the
same single conflict (ID 28422846) a short way that was duplicated and I
edited out the duplication. Attempting to resolve the conflict gives me the
obvious two choices - deleted=true ('mine') or deleted=false ('theirs').
After resolving the conflict the upload still fails with a 409 error. It
doesn't matter which option I choose. I have even chosen 'false', re-deleted
the duplicate and then tried again.

Seems to be a bug somewhere in API6 - so no more mapping until I can get an
answer that allows me to upload. Particularly annoying as I had to recreate
the OSM as I was half way through the job before the API change and didn't
want to mess about with the half-finished work in api 5 osm format.

I am using josm v 1555 (but have also tried v1529 - the most recent 'stable'
version - which still gives 409 errors). I am using java v1.6.0_13.

HELP!

Mike
