mbtiles files won't upload to Mapbox

[aaronblondeau]

When I attempt to upload an .mbtiles file created with tile-count-tile to Mapbox I get this error : "vector_layers must be an array of layer objects"

I found that I can get around this by first exporting the mbtiles to a directory with mbutil. The editing the "json" key in metadata.json from

"json": "{\"vector_layers\": [  ],\"tilestats\": {\"layerCount\": 0,\"layers\": []}}", 

to

"json": "{\"vector_layers\":[{\"id\":\"count\",\"description\":\"\",\"minzoom\":10,\"maxzoom\":14,\"fields\":{\"density\":\"Number\"}}],\"tilestats\":{\"layerCount\":0,\"layers\":[]}}"

(I had set specific min and max zooms with tile-count-tile so I made them match in the json)

Then, after re-packing back to a .mbtiles with mbutil, mapbox would accept the upload.

Thanks for the report. I haven't seen this problem myself but would like to make sure it gets fixed. What version of Tippecanoe are you seeing it with and with what type of input data?

Oops, sorry, I now see this is a tile-count bug. I'll look into it and figure out what's wrong.
