Osmosis not working at all

[nembo22]

I installed the latest version of osmosis, along with jdk 21, on my Windows pc but it doesn't seem to work at all. For every command it says execution aborted. It also reports a warning at the start. This is an exemple of the errors I get:

C:\Users\pepit>osmosis --read-pbf "C:\\Users\\pepit\\Desktop\\Università\\R studio\\dati_raw\\osm_extract_full.pbf"

I really hope someone can help me solve this problem, I didn't manage to figure it out at all...

Osmium.v116.win64.zip

I had the same problem. I tried every Osmosis build going back a year, they all have the same bug.

I eventually gave up and switched to Osmium, which required a whole separate brouhaha to build, but I've now got a working win64 version, and have successfully used it to groom and merge my PBFs. I attached a copy of it to this post, but you can also msg me if you want to verify I'm a real human.

The reason this command is failing is because no destination has been specified for the data.

The --read-pbf task reads data in from a PBF file but has nowhere to send the results, hence the error message The following named pipes () and 1 default pipes have not been terminated with appropriate output sinks..

If you just want to test that --read-pbf is working you could try adding the --write-null task at the end to discard all output.
osmosis --read-pbf "C:\\Users\\pepit\\Desktop\\Università\\R studio\\dati_raw\\osm_extract_full.pbf" --write-null

If you want to see what the contents of the PBF file look like you could write it out to a human readable XML format.
osmosis --read-pbf "C:\\Users\\pepit\\Desktop\\Università\\R studio\\dati_raw\\osm_extract_full.pbf" --write-xml data.xml

I think we have a winner for the 2024 "World's Most Inscrutable Error Message" award.
