WMS Record missing for layer

[capooti]

When uploading some geotiff to GN (both 1.2 and 2.0) I am experiencing this error:

The layer [weather] was not correctly saved to Catalogue/GeoServer. Error is: WMS Record missing for layer [geonode:weather]

Because of this error, the layer is NOT uploaded to GeoNode.

I have seen that this issue was already mentioned in mailing list ( @ischneider proposed something about it): https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/geonode-users/4l2TwJtEIsc/K3IycsdCATIJ

I suspect it is a problem connected with GeoServer.
I am attaching a sample file if you want to reproduce the error:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/512462/geonode/issue/weather.tiff

I can investigate into this, but maybe some of you GeoServer gurus have a quick fix.

Here the stack trace of this:
any ideas?

Could this be related to the specific dataset?

[capooti]

Yes, @simod in fact the problem it is that the dataset has an unrecognized srid for GeoServer.
After doing a gdal_translate with the -a_srs option set to a valid EPSG code on the image, the upload works correctly.
I am downgrading this from bug to feature request, as I think we may need a better error message here.

moving to 2.1

The screen after a failed upload, when trying to upload the same file, is not informative at all:

The actual stack trace is:

The data about the file gets stored in GeoNode, but obviously the actual file cannot be processed by GeoServer. What is the correct procedure here ... delete the failed image from GeoNode; or delay storing it until the whole operation succeeds? And is it not possible to capture the error from GeoServer and return that for display/checking as the current code seems to just assume the operation was successful?

I seem to be having a similar issue. After upload, the Geonode Django UI reports: Your layer was successfully uploaded.
However browsing the layer shows up blank, and the log contains a traceback similar to that reported by @simod . My traceback is here: https://gist.github.com/jean/347cb708b1f4d9de4691

Unlike @gamesbook I do not see any error in the Django log.

I'm running the https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/tree/2.0.x branch.

I tried it right now on the original imaged (attached in my initial comment) and now with master works well.
+1 to close this

closing as I think it is an old one.
