stac merge error: 'raise ValueError('asset_href msut be absolute.')'

[cholmes]

Pulling this out as its own issue from #168 (comment)_ as I verified you get the exact same problem if you simply follow the tutorial on using Planet data with CLI.

Basically when you do the stac merge command with planet data it gets the below error. This seems like a regression, as I've done the tutorial before, and tried it again with the 0.2.x stactools and it got the exact same error.

stac merge planet-stacs/analytic/collection.json planet-stacs/visual/collection.json --move-assets --ignore-conflicts

@cholmes is it possible to get an isolated set of test data to reproduce this issue? I've tried to hack one together just w/ stactools w/o success, and it'd be good to have an example that doesn't require a Planet login. Thanks!

[cholmes]

Yeah. I'll just zip up what I have and stick on a cloud, as it'll be big with the files in it.

@cholmes I believe that stac-utils/pystac#574 will resolve this issue. Once PySTAC v1.0.1 is released, we can release a new alpha of stactools for you to try.

[cholmes]

Ok, great. Happy to test it. Would be great to get #151 in for the release to have the 'validate' command there too.

[gadomski]

@cholmes PySTAC v1.0.1 is released and a fresh install of stactools should automatically pick it up. If you have an existing environment, you can do pip install -U pystac to update to v1.0.1 and test to see if your issue is fixed.

[cholmes]

Seems to work, thank you!
