"No inverse method available" about proj

[dvargas74]

I get an test error when running "gie" program with "gridshift.gie" file for the operation:

"operation +proj=gridshift +grids=tests/test_gridshift_projected.tif"

gridshift: Invalid latitude

I'm using PROJ v9.4.0

I get an test error when running "gie" program with "gridshift.gie" file for the operation:

I suspect some misconfiguration in your system. Are you sure you aren't mixing PROJ versions?

[dvargas74]

This is the header obtained when running "projinfo" and "proj" programs:

Rel. 9.4.0, March 1st, 2024

All tests are succeeded except the one for this operation

On the other hand, here a piece of code for debugging this issue:

PJ_COORD source = proj_coord(-598000.000, -1160020.000, 0.000, 0);
PJ_CONTEXT* context = proj_context_create();
PJ *pj = proj_create(context, "+proj=gridshift +grids=test_gridshift_projected.tif");
double x = proj_roundtrip(pj, PJ_DIRECTION::PJ_FWD, 1, &source);

Should be right? What about the pipeline at the beginning of this conversation?

both looks OK

Then, what could be the problem?
This is very important for us. Any idea about what I can do?
Does the code above work fine on your end?

Does the code above work fine on your end?

yes, it does (and the related tests runs fine on the continuation integration on all major platforms):

I've just successfully tested the following:

$ cat test.cpp
#include <stdio.h>
#include <proj.h>

int main() {
    PJ_COORD source = proj_coord(-598000.000, -1160020.000, 0.000, 0);
    PJ_CONTEXT* context = proj_context_create();
    PJ *pj = proj_create(context, "+proj=gridshift +grids=test_gridshift_projected.tif");
    PJ_COORD res = proj_trans(pj, PJ_FWD, source);
    printf("%f %f\n", res.xy.x, res.xy.y);
    PJ_COORD res2 = proj_trans(pj, PJ_INV, res);
    printf("%f %f\n", res2.xy.x, res2.xy.y);

    return 0;
}

$ g++ -I../src test.cpp -o mytest -Llib -lproj && LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD/lib PROJ_DATA=data/for_tests/tests:data PROJ_DEBUG=ON ./mytest 
pj_open_lib(proj.ini): call fopen(data/proj.ini) - succeeded

-5597999.884995 -6160019.977850
-598000.000000 -1160020.000000

Then, what could be the problem?

I don't know. I'm pretty bad at diagnosing issues I can't reproduce locally. Maybe compare the log messages you get by setting PROJ_DEBUG=ON with the ones above. Otherwise I have nothing better to suggest than running through a debugger and stepping ...

Thank you so much for your help. I'll check, again, everything on my end.
