Serializer still depends on GDAL? about django-geojson HOT 8 CLOSED

That's a string from contrib.gis indeed!

Can you check the type of your PointField ? It should be djgeojson.fields.PointField.

from django-geojson.

I can confirm this, had the same issue on arch after installing gdal all works fine!

from django-geojson.

the same problem, after sudo aptitude install gdal-bin all good

from django-geojson.

Confirmed - with the same solution as mentioned above.

Not really surprising considering the following import pattern is used throughout django-geojson & django-leaflet:

# from django-geojson serializers.py
try:
    from django.contrib.gis.geos import WKBWriter
    from django.contrib.gis.geos import GEOSGeometry
    from django.contrib.gis.db.models.fields import GeometryField
except (ImportError, ImproperlyConfigured):
    from .nogeos import WKBWriter
    from .nogeos import GEOSGeometry
    from .fields import GeometryField

As contrib.gis comes with Django I don't see how this was intended to prefer the nogeos stuff. Perhaps contrib.gis used to raise ImproperlyConfigured when gdal isn't present? However django-leaflet only handles ImportError in all the places I looked...

Encountered the same since I updated to 2.11.0 :(

(the bug is not present in 2.10.0)

from django-geojson.

You can check the diff
2.10.0...2.11.0

@Gagaro could you update the Github releases page please? And also, use PRs where Travis tests remain green instead of committing to master (easier to follow regressions etc.). Thanks!

from django-geojson.

Travis tests are green, the only PR I merged without travis was the pip install one which was very simple (but still needed travis...).

And yes I should update the releases.

from django-geojson.

Is there any chance that this issue could be resolved? I just started using django-geojson, and I'm getting the same error as @flesser for apparently the same reason. I don't want to install gdal just to make an import I don't plan to use not crash. I cannot downgrade to 2.10 because my project uses Django 2.x.
