Error reading KML: Could not determine the root kml file of

Hi @jakethepainter

It appears this is related to a known issue where FME cannot determine the KML file to read if there are multiple levels of nesting folders. I will attach this post to the issue (FMEENGINE-29795) and update you once it has been resolved.

Thanks. Is there any sort of workaround? Or do you have a sense of the timeframe?

Here's my workaround for now. Use an httpcaller to get the data down to a known location. Then embed the rest of my workspace in a separate workspace and call it from the workspace runner. The kml reader in the inner workspace uses the recursive subfolder searcher to get all the way down to the kml.

Does anyone know if this issue has been fixed in 2019.2?

Hi @jakethepainter

According to our internal records, this issue was not been fixed in 2019.2.

Doesn't seem fixed at 2020.1.0.1, either.

Any news if this has been fixed yet as I am using 2023.2.1 and am getting the same error when trying to read KMZ files

Hi ​@deanhowell, ​@setld_solutions, & ​@jakethepainter, 

I followed up on this ticket and it’s been sitting for a while but dev reports that there will likely be a fix ready later this year. For now please continue to use ​@jakethepainter’s HTTPCaller workaround.

Thank you for your patience and please let me know if there are any further questions!
