Validation of export to JOSM falsely reports invalid data

[pelderson]

Overpass Turbo reports “Incomplete data” for JOSM export, but the query already uses [out:xml], out meta;, and recursion to fetch full data. Export works fine in JOSM and “Repair query” does not modify anything. Looks like a false positive in the validator. The issue happens since about two weeks, while I have used this same query many times before without this problem.
Here is my query:

[out:xml][timeout:250];
{{geocodeArea:Zuid-Holland}}->.zoekgebied;

// relatie met gecheckte elementen
rel["type"="collection"]["name"="Rotondes gecontroleerd PE"]->.checked;

// alleen way members van die relatie
way(r.checked)->.done;

// alle rotondes in beeld
way["junction"="roundabout"](area.zoekgebied)({{bbox}})->.all;

// verschil: nog niet gedaan
(.all; - .done;);
(._;>;);
out meta;

The error:

Incomplete data
 It looks like if this query will not return OSM data in XML format with metadata. 
Editors like JOSM require the data to be in that format, though. 
overpass turbo can help you to correct the query by choosing "repair query" below.
Repair query               Toch doorgaan

No matter what I select, the export works and I get valid data in JOSM. I return to the query page in Overpass-turbo.

The formatting of your query looks a bit broken on Github. Maybe you reformat it according to this guide? https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#quoting-code

Is the query ok now?

[mmd-osm]

Yes, the error message is caused by an overly simplistic regular expression check in overpass turbo which confuses the "out" in "roundabout" with an output mode [out: ...]. I would ignore the popup.

[pelderson]

I would ignore the popup.

I do, of course, but it's an error so I was rather hoping that it could be fixed. It's more than a popup, it's also a mandatory choice and I go back to the query screen, where normally I would remain on the export screen.

[mmd-osm]

Until this is fixed in overpass turbo, I can only think of a few odd workarounds that prevent “out” from being interpreted as a literal string.

// alle rotondes in beeld
way["junction"~"^roundab[o]ut$"](area.zoekgebied)({{bbox}})->.all;

[pelderson]

Yeah, I now use

way["junction"~"roundabo"](area.zoekgebied)({{bbox}})->.all;
