Hi Marcos, I just discovered this gem and it looked promising!

Then I tried to install it...

First I was told the was no 'geo_ruby' loaded, so I had to add:

gem 'georuby'
gem 'geonames_local' # Downloads and store Geonames.org data locally

Then I bundled again. Now I get.

You've loaded GeoRuby SHP Support.
Please install the gem 'dbf' to use it. gem install dbf

Then I tried

gem 'dbf'
gem 'georuby'
gem 'geonames_local' # Downloads and store Geonames.org data locally

And it seems to work.

Shouldn't these gems be internal dependencies of geonames_local ?

Oh, I see that you recently made a commit "fix dependencies", but it hasn't made it into the release gem yet. Please do!
Thanks!

After install : gem install geonames
I just tip : geonames init
But command this triggers a command not found error.
I try with ruby 2.2 and 1.9 on windows and on linux.
Some help? Thanks!

It's currently ugly.

Hi:
when i select AD as download code (Andorra), appears error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I have a problem with use geonames_local.

My Gemfile:
gem 'georuby'
gem 'geonames_local', github: 'nofxx/geonames_local'
gem 'mongoid', github:'mongoid/mongoid'
gem 'mongoid_geospatial', github: 'nofxx/mongoid_geospatial'
gem 'geopolitical'

Commands:

1. geonames init
2. bundle exec geonames -c geonames.yml -d -v

I get error with Mongoid::Errors::DocumentNotFound.

Document not found for class Nation with attributes {:abbr=>/BR/i}

Resolution:
Mongoid.raise_not_found_error set to false.

I set this params in config/mongoid.yml

but can't fix...

Hi:

I run genoname_local with config:

#
# Geonames Local Config Example
#
:store: mongodb
:level: city
:nations: [es] # [] to populate nations database
:locales: [es, en]
:mapping:
  :name: name
  :geom: true
:db:
  :host: localhost
  :name: geonames_local
  # :user:
  # :password:
  # :purge: false

and find errors like:

message:
  Validation of City failed.
summary:
  The following errors were found: Code is already taken
resolution:
  Try persisting the document with valid data or remove the validations. /var/lib/gems/2.5.0/gems/mongoid-7.0.1/lib/mongoid/persistable.rb:76:in `fail_due_to_validation!'

thanks in advance

Hi Nofxx,

I have some troubles while executing the geonames_local gem:

I did:

gemfile:

gem "mongoid", "~> 3.1.0"
gem 'georuby' # is needed by geonames_local
gem 'geonames_local' #https://github.com/nofxx/geonames_local

> geonames init

geonames.yml

#
# Geonames Local Config Example
#
:store: mongodb
:level: city
:nations: [br, us] # [] to populate nations database
:locales: [pt, en]
:mapping:
  :name: name
  :geom: true
:db:
  :host: localhost
  :name: myappdb_development
  :user:
  :password:
  :purge: false

Now I type:

> geonames -c geoconfig.yml nations
> Closing Geonames...

(shouldn't it be geonames.yml instead of geoconfig.yml?) The file which was created by init was named geonames.yml

I tried:

> geonames -c geonames.yml nations
Loading config file...
Can't find adapter for mongodb
Closing Geonames...

> geonames -c geonames.yml --nations
> Loading config file...
> Can't find adapter for mongodb
> Closing Geonames...

> geonames -c geoconfig.yml --nations
> Loading config file...
> Can't find adapter for mongodb
> Closing Geonames...

What's wrong there? Please help me!

Thank you!
