Summerize output

[xamanu]

Instead of printing out random messages, it would be nice to get a kind of "report" of the data it ran on, things to improve on OpenStreetMap, etc. These information should be grouped.

[xamanu]

Here a quick brainstorming of the things I would like to know:

• Content from the configuration file, also if guessed (like dates)
• How many routes, stops and trips were added.
• How many had errors, warnings
• List elements that need to be fixed on OSM to get into the GTFS
• List elements with recommendations to improve on OSM
• List of queried/guessed stop names

Any more?

I like the idea, but would like also some way to monitor progress for long-running tasks.

[xamanu]

Any suggestion or idea on how to do this, @grote? I would probably open a separate issue fo this. It doesn't seem to be strictly connected and at a first glance much more complex with a need for much more changes and analysis than the suggested feature proposed here.

[grote]

It is insofar connected as "printing out random messages" currently serves as a progress indicator. If you would remove these, you would also remove the only way to monitor progress. So all I am saying is, please don't remove them without an alternative. This could be as simple as a --debug switch.

[xamanu]

Yes, I agree. This issue here is about the reports, and should not tackle the removal of any current output messages. In any case if removing them, a suitable way to get feedback on the progress is needed. I opened up a related issue #98 for this.

[xamanu]

I made my head a bit more around it and I came to the conclusion that such a summary is probably better to be made to analyse whatever GTFS and not just based on the output of osm2gtfs.

From my side this can be closed.

At Jungle Bus, we have some work in progress (quite slow progress to be honest 😅 ) to have better quality assurance report from OSM transport data with Bifidus project :

• https://jungle-bus.github.io/bifidus/?issues=line_info#13/48.84096/2.38303
• https://github.com/Jungle-Bus/bifidus

For now, mostly focus on explaining the issues and how to fix them and only in French, but a "by network" / "by operator" summary is also planed. Please let me know if you want to work on it with us or if you have special ideas and needs.
