GTFS data importing error TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object

Hi there,

I’m having trouble when importing GTFS using gtfs-import. I have an error TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object\transit\TransitData\gtfs-downloads/gtfs_swiss-gtfs.zip. Below is my files:

config.json:

{
  "mongoUrl": "mongodb://localhost:27017/gtfs_swiss",
  "agencies": [
    {
      "agency_key": "gtfs_swiss",
      "url": "http://transitfeeds.com/p/sbb-cff-ffs/793/latest/download",
      "exclude": [
        "fare_attributes",
        "fare_rules",
        "feed_info",
        "frequencies",
        "shapes"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

gtfs-import output:

C:\Users\Dany\Desktop\transit\TransitData>gtfs-import

The mongodb connection seems to be ok as gtfs-import successfully created collections in my mongodb database. See image attached

But it seems that the error occurs when gtfs-import tries to move the data. Any help would greatly be appreciate.

Checkout node-gtfs version 1.5.3 - it has an update to mongoose which has an update to the mongodb library which I think will fix your issue on windows. Please report back - thanks!

I think this issue will be resolved in the next release of mongoose that will use mongodb 3.0.3 - I’ll keep and eye on this and update node-gtfs as soon as it is released. Specifically, this commit: https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/commit/934a43a90141fbacebd4bcdd9151a4f6a8a8bc57
