Possible bug in kml with clustering

CesiumJS
1

Hello everybody,

Please run the Sandcastle clustering demo, just replace the URL in KmlDataSource.load with:

‘http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/wfs?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=osm:placenames_capital&outputFormat=kml&srsName=EPSG:4326’

For me, rendering crashes with the following messages:
An error occurred while rendering. Rendering has stopped.

undefined

TypeError: Unable to get property ‘get’ of undefined or null reference

The KML demo does not crash with this URL.

Also this demo does not crash if you request outputFormat=json in the URL and of course replace KmlDataSource by GeoJsonDataSource in the code.

By the way, the response to this URL consists of just 2 placemarks.

Thanks, Boris.

Hello Boris,

I was able to reproduce the crash. I’ve created an issue here for us to look into it: https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/issues/4414

Best,

Hi Hannah,

May I ask you to pay attention to my post “Sandcastle KML demo slow in IE11, possible memory leak”. It demonstrate a crash in KML demo, but what really matters for me is very slow rendering (and slow removal too) of billboards. For me such speed is really a deal breaker.

Thanks, Boris.
