WKTReader: parsing error not propagated

[alexismanin]

Hello,

For some cases, a null value is returned from the WKTReader instead of propagating a ParseException.
I do not see any linked documentation, so I think it is a mistake.

The related code is:

jts/modules/core/src/main/java/org/locationtech/jts/io/WKTReader.java

Line 782 in d9b6e93

} catch (IOException e) {

If you confirm it is a bug, I'll try to submit a minimal PR in a near future.

Regards,

Yes, that's definitely a bug. The try-catch should simply be removed, so the exceptions can propagate upwards.

It also looks like the parsing of the geometry type keywords is flawed - it allows spurious characters between the type and the dimension modifiers (e.g. POINTABCZ (0 0)).

I'll fix both of these in a single PR shortly.

Fixed by #786.
