Unable to export geopackage

[vboulianne]

Hello, I have been unable to create a Geopackage from observations. Other exports seem to work as expected. I get "error: error exporting geopackage Error: Unable to initialize canvas.".

Any pointers you could provide as to why? Using Node.js v18.14.0 installed with version manager on Ubuntu 20.04, mage server 6.3.0-beta0. I tried previous versions without success.

Console output:

Thanks for the detailed report. We'll try to look into that shortly and get back to you.

[restjohn]

Can you post the version of @ngageoint/geopackage that is installed with your MAGE server?

[vboulianne]

It seems to be 4.2.3

[restjohn]

The problem appears to be with Node 18 and the GeoPackage library. Can you try downgrading to Node 16 for now until we can diagnose and fix the root cause? Of course, you are welcome to submit a pull-request, as well.

[vboulianne]

Ok, I will downgrade to 16 and see how it goes.

Thank you!
