• gpx_converter version: $ gpx_converter -v => no output (installed 2024-10-05)
• Python version: 3.12.3
• Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04

Description

Convert a single point csv to gpx from cli.

What I Did

$ pip install --break-system-packages -U gpx-converter # as there is no python-gpx_converter apt package
$ gpx_converter --function "csv_to_gpx" -in g.csv --out_file g.gpx 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/hannu/.local/bin/gpx_converter", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
             ^^^^^^
  File "/home/hannu/.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/gpx_converter/cli.py", line 44, in main
    args.func(args)
  File "/home/hannu/.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/gpx_converter/cli.py", line 16, in run
    converter.csv_to_gpx(args.output_file)
  File "/home/hannu/.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/gpx_converter/base.py", line 209, in csv_to_gpx
    raise Exception("you need to provide an output file!")
Exception: you need to provide an output file!

This happens regardless of -out or --out_file argument.

This in contrast to using it as in:

#!/bin/env python

from gpx_converter import Converter

Converter(input_file='g.csv').csv_to_gpx(lats_colname='lat',
                                                 longs_colname='long',
                                                 output_file='g.gpx')

... which does create g.gpx - with reasonable content;
but as the ARGUMENT is not received deeper down in code when launched from CLI, it isn't relevant here.
