No output

[davidb1]

I'm trying to run geojsplit on https://github.com/simonepri/geo-maps/blob/master/info/earth-lands.md, the largest one.
The run seems to finish (according to verbose) but there is no output. I did not set the dry run flag or anything like that.
No errors in the terminal.

Hi @davidb1

it looks like the geojson file is a GeometryCollection, not a FeatureCollection. Geojsplit doesn't handle this at all, although I'd have to investigate a bit more to figure out why it hangs. You can convert it to a FeatureCollection using ogr2ogr out.geojson in.geojson, however this will simply make a FeatureCollection with the GeometryCollection as its single feature.

I may look into this a bit more later, but for now I'd say don't expect support for splitting of a GeometryCollection.

Does geojsplit work with MultiPolygons? Since most of the GeometryCollection is just that one MultiPolygon if I'm not wrong
