Unable to upload geojson annotations through the Girder UI

[jacksonjacobs1]

Description

I am currently testing methods for uploading geojson annotations to a self-hosted DSA instance, and was unable to upload my annotations using the Girder UI.

Full disclosure I am operating under the assumption that this statement from the large_image documentation is accurate:

In addition to the native format for annotations, annotations in geojson can be passed to the Annotation.createAnnotation method, uploaded via the standard UI on the Girder item page or via the POST file endpoint.

https://girder.github.io/large_image/annotations.html#alternate-formats

Is this something someone can help with? I don't see any guidance or tutorials in the girder/DSA/large_image documentation, and until I am able to upload geojson annotations via the Girder UI, I am not confident that the other upload approaches mentioned in the large_image docs will work for me either.

Steps to reproduce

1. I used a minimal geojson file which I drew in and exported from qupath:

{
  "type": "FeatureCollection",
  "features": [
    {
      "type": "Feature",
      "id": "a9eec0da-3a6e-4388-8f7d-9ca2240eb183",
      "geometry": {
        "type": "Polygon",
        "coordinates": [
          [
            [
              1494,
              2232
            ],
            [
              125650,
              2232
            ],
            [
              125650,
              90592
            ],
            [
              1494,
              90592
            ],
            [
              1494,
              2232
            ]
          ]
        ]
      },
      "properties": {
        "objectType": "annotation"
      }
    }
  ]
}

2. Upload this geojson file using the Girder UI

3. I see a notification that the annotations were successfully uploaded. Upon refreshing the page I see the .geojson file displayed under "files and links"

However, the annotations are not displayed on the image when I open HistomicsUI.

The sample uploads on my local instance without any issue. Do you know what version of the DSA (or more specifically the large_image_annotation plugin) you are using? I would expect that there is some issue in the logs stating that it failed to parse and giving a reason.

Here's the release information returned by the /system/version endpoint:

{
  "release": "3.2.3.dev3+ge0a12ff2c",
  "serverStartDate": "2024-12-12T19:11:32.433929+00:00"
}

Anyways, I spun up a new instance and the annotations upload functionality is now working on my side.

Thank you for your help!
