Summary

Fixes the stopSequence query parameter on arrival-and-departure-for-stop
to match the OBA API spec: a 0-indexed position in the trip's stop list,
not the raw GTFS stop_sequence column value. The old exact-match lookup
against that column only worked on feeds where stop_sequence is 0-based
and contiguous, so it 404'd on feeds starting at 1 (e.g. King County Metro)
and on loop trips where a stop is visited more than once.

Fixes #1440

What changed

  • findStopTimeForTripStop fetches a trip's full ordered stop_times once
    and treats the requested index as a position in that list. When the exact
    position doesn't hold the target stop, it expands outward one step at a
    time (checking the lower index before the higher), matching Java's
    getBlockStopTime. This tolerates position drift from stops added or
    removed since a client last saw the trip's layout.
  • The no-stopSequence case now picks the occurrence closest to the query
    time among multiple visits of a stop, matching Java's existing tie-break,
    instead of always returning the first occurrence.

Pre-existing test changes (flagging for review)

Two existing tests encoded assumptions that only held under the old,
incorrect exact-match behavior — both are addressed in a separate commit
from the fix itself:

  • TestArrivalAndDepartureForStopHandler_LoopRouteStopSequence passed raw
    GTFS stop_sequence values as the query parameter; updated to pass the
    correct 0-based positions.
  • TestArrivalAndDepartureForStopHandlerWithWrongStopSequence asserted
    that an offset of +100 from a valid position would 404. Once position
    drift is tolerated by design, the outward search can legitimately walk
    back to a valid position given enough distance — there's no upper bound
    on search distance, matching Java's own unbounded expansion. I rewrote
    it to request a stop ID absent from the trip entirely, which still 404s
    regardless of position. Flagging this as a judgment call in case
    maintainers want a different approach (e.g. capping search distance).

Testing

Added three tests covering the acceptance criteria from #1440: a feed
whose stop_sequence starts at 1, a requested position offset by one or
two from a stop's actual position, and the no-stopSequence path on a
loop trip.

Ran go vet under both sqlite_fts5 sqlite_math_functions and purego
build tags, make test, and go fmt per CONTRIBUTING.md.

Size note

This PR is larger than the suggested 200-line guideline — the fix itself
is small, but the new tests (~280 lines) cover three distinct scenarios
named explicitly in the issue's acceptance criteria and didn't seem
separable from the fix without losing that traceability. Happy to split
further if preferred.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved arrival and departure lookups for stops on trips, including loop routes and feeds with different stop-sequence numbering.
    • Stop requests now resolve more reliably when sequence positions are slightly offset, including zero-based positions.
    • When no sequence is provided, the closest visit to the requested time is selected.
    • Invalid stop requests return a not-found response instead of matching an unrelated stop.
    • Improved handling of repeated stops and trips with varying sequence conventions.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The handler now loads ordered trip stop times once and resolves the requested stop in memory. Position requests use zero-based outward search. Requests without a position select the closest visit by query time. Regression tests cover feed sequence offsets and loop trips.

Changes

Arrival-and-departure stop resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Ordered stop-time lookup
internal/restapi/arrival_and_departure_for_stop_handler.go

- Line 382: Update the test using combinedStopID to reference an existing valid
stop that is absent from validTripID, ensuring GetStop succeeds and the test
exercises the no-match behavior in findStopTimeForTripStop.
- Around line 1048-1050: Add a handler test case in the existing
arrival/departure test suite where the requested stop appears at both lower and
higher positions equidistant from the requested stopSequence, then assert that
the lower-index occurrence is selected. Reuse the existing endpoint setup and
response assertions, ensuring the case specifically distinguishes lower-index
priority rather than an exact or higher-index match.

resolution and positional resolution logic into separate focused helper
functions, leaving the main function responsible only for selecting the
appropriate mode and returning its result. Preserve the existing behavior,
inputs, and outputs while reducing branching and cognitive complexity below the
allowed threshold.
- Line 774: Validate the parsed stopSequence against the stopTimes bounds before
computing maxDist or entering the loop, rejecting negative values and values
greater than or equal to the collection length. Ensure invalid input cannot
produce attacker-controlled or overflowing loop bounds, and add regression cases
covering negative and very large stopSequence values.

Comment thread internal/restapi/arrival_and_departure_for_stop_handler.go Outdated
The OBA API spec defines stopSequence as the 0-indexed position of
a stop within a trip's stop list, not the raw GTFS stop_sequence
column value. The handler matched it directly against that column,
which only worked on feeds where stop_sequence is 0-based with no
gaps. It 404'd on feeds starting at 1, or on loop trips where a
stop is visited more than once.

Fetch the trip's full ordered stop_times once and treat the
requested index as a position in that list. When the exact position
doesn't hold the target stop, expand outward one step at a time,
checking the lower index before the higher at each distance. This
matches Java's getBlockStopTime and tolerates drift from stops
added or removed since a client last saw the trip's layout.

Also fix the no-stopSequence case: among multiple visits of a stop
on a loop trip, return the one closest to the query time, matching
Java's existing tie-break, instead of always the first occurrence.
TestArrivalAndDepartureForStopHandler_LoopRouteStopSequence passed
raw GTFS stop_sequence values (2, 15) as the query parameter. Under
corrected semantics stopSequence is a 0-based position, so this
trip's only valid positions are 0 and 1. Update the query values
accordingly; the expected zero-based output stays the same.

TestArrivalAndDepartureForStopHandlerWithWrongStopSequence asserted
that a stopSequence offset of +100 from a valid position would
404. That assumption only held under the old exact-match lookup.
Once position drift is tolerated by design, the outward search can
legitimately walk back to a valid position given enough distance,
so a large offset from a real stop no longer guarantees a miss.
Rewrite the test to request a stop ID absent from the trip
entirely, which still 404s regardless of the requested position.
Cover the three cases called out in the stopSequence spec-gap
issue: a feed whose raw stop_sequence starts at 1 rather than 0, a
requested position offset by one or two from a stop's actual
position, and the no-stopSequence path on a loop trip choosing the
visit closest to the query time rather than the first occurrence.
TestArrivalAndDepartureForStop_LoopTripPredictionMatchesRequestedSequence,
added by a separate, more recently merged fix for GTFS-RT delay
matching (OneBusAway#1415), passed raw GTFS stop_sequence values as the query
parameter. This PR changes stopSequence to mean the 0-based position
in the trip's stop list instead, so the test's requests for the
"later" and "earlier" visits need to use positions 1 and 0
respectively to keep targeting the same two stop_times.

OneBusAway API arrival-and-departure stopSequence zero-based index totalStopsInTrip contract

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In the OneBusAway API, specifically within the arrival-and-departure-for-stop and arrivals-and-departures-for-stop methods, the stopSequence and totalStopsInTrip fields provide critical information regarding a vehicle&#39;s position within a specific trip [1][2][3]. stopSequence is a zero-based index representing the stop&#39;s position within the sequence of all stops for that trip [2][4]. It is generated internally by the OneBusAway system and does not correspond directly to the GTFS stop_sequence field [2]. Because it is zero-indexed, the first stop in a trip always has a stopSequence value of 0, while the final stop has a value equal to totalStopsInTrip - 1 [2]. totalStopsInTrip represents the total count of stops visited during that specific trip [2][4]. If a trip visits the same physical stop more than once, each visitation is counted individually toward this total [2]. These fields are essential for uniquely identifying a specific arrival when a vehicle serves the same stop multiple times during a single trip [1]. Developers are encouraged to use these parameters to disambiguate such scenarios and improve back-end lookup performance [1]. Internal implementation details ensure that these values are consistently derived at the query or database layer to prevent mismatches caused by sparse GTFS stop sequences [5].

Preserve the matched list position for the API response.

The API contract defines stopSequence as the zero-based index in the ordered stop list, not GTFS stop_sequence. The handler passes int(targetStopTime.StopSequence)-1 to NewArrivalAndDeparture, and that constructor stores the value directly in the response. This works only for contiguous sequences starting at one. Sparse or loop trips return values such as 1 and 14 instead of positions 0 and 1.

Return the matched row and its actual index from both resolver branches. Pass that index to NewArrivalAndDeparture, while retaining matchedStopTime.StopSequence for GTFS-Realtime matching. Keep totalStopsInTrip based on len(orderedStopTimes) and update the loop tests to assert the matched positions.

Additional cleanup finding that cannot be attached inline because the files are not in this PR diff: GetTargetStopTimeWithTotalStops and GetTargetStopTimeWithTotalStopsBySequence are now unused after this handler refactor, but still remain in gtfsdb/query.sql, generated gtfsdb/query.sql.go, and prepared statements in gtfsdb/db.go. Please remove the dead sqlc queries and regenerate models if they are no longer needed.

This still carries the raw GTFS stop_sequence forward as the only sequence value, and the response later passes int(targetStopTime.StopSequence)-1 to NewArrivalAndDeparture. That means a trip with raw sequences like 10, 20, 30 resolves the requested position correctly, but returns entry.stopSequence = 19 for the second stop instead of the required zero-based position 1.

Please return the matched stop-time row together with its zero-based index in orderedStopTimes, use that index for the API response entry.stopSequence, and keep matchedStopTime.StopSequence only for logic that really needs the raw GTFS value, such as GTFS-RT matching.

maxDist is based on the client-supplied stopSequence, so an out-of-range value makes this loop run proportional to the request parameter rather than the trip length. For example, stopSequence=50000000 against a one-stop trip still iterates about 50 million times before returning not found.

Please bound the search work to the stop-time slice size, or reject/clamp unreasonable positions before entering this function, so malformed requests cannot pin a handler goroutine.

The API response's stopSequence field was computed as
targetStopTime.StopSequence - 1, the trip's raw GTFS stop_sequence
minus one. That only equals the true 0-based position when a trip's
raw sequence is contiguous starting at 1, a trip with sequences like
10, 20, 30 resolved the requested position correctly but reported
entry.stopSequence = 19 for the second stop instead of 1.

findStopTimeForTripStop and its two branches now return the matched
row's index in orderedStopTimes alongside the row itself, and the
handler passes that index to NewArrivalAndDeparture. StopSequence on
the matched row is kept for the one place that legitimately needs
the raw GTFS value: getPredictedTimes's GTFS-RT StopTimeUpdate
matching.

Updates several tests that asserted stopSequence-1 against fixtures
with non-contiguous or arbitrary raw sequences; they now derive or
assert the actual 0-based position instead.
The expand-outward search grew its work with how far the
client-supplied stopSequence sat outside the trip's valid range,
rather than with the trip's actual size: maxDist was computed from
requestedIndex itself, so stopSequence=50000000 against a one-stop
trip iterated roughly 50 million times before returning not found.
A malformed or malicious request could pin a handler goroutine.

Replace the expand-outward loop with a single pass over stopTimes
that tracks whichever occurrence of stopCode is numerically closest
to requestedIndex, breaking ties toward the lower index by only
replacing the current best on a strict improvement. This returns
the same match the expand-outward search would have found, but
costs exactly one scan of the trip's own stop_times regardless of
how large or negative requestedIndex is.
These two sqlc queries were replaced by GetStopTimesForTrip plus
in-Go position matching in the arrival-and-departure-for-stop
handler and have no remaining callers. Removed from query.sql and
regenerated query.sql.go and db.go via make models.

findStopTimeByPosition computed i - requestedIndex directly, where
requestedIndex comes from the client-supplied stopSequence param.
A value near math.MinInt overflowed the subtraction and could
overflow absInt again on the way back, silently corrupting the
distance comparison instead of failing loudly.

Clamp requestedIndex into the valid [0, n-1] range before computing
any distance. This is behavior-preserving: distance to every valid
index changes monotonically outside that range, so clamping never
changes which stop is selected, including the lower-index tie-break.

Also return immediately on an exact match at the clamped position,
since nothing else in the trip can be closer -- the common case
(no drift) no longer requires scanning the rest of the stop_times.
TestArrivalAndDepartureForStopHandler_EquidistantPositionsPreferLowerIndex
deliberately visits the same stop twice (positions 0 and 4) to test
the tie-break rule, but the setup loop called CreateStop for every
entry including both occurrences of the repeated stop. Skip the
call when the stop was already created outside the loop; still
create a StopTime row for every entry.

Thank you for the review!

  • entry.stopSequence now reports the matched row's actual 0-based index in orderedStopTimes, not rawStopSequence - 1. matchedStopTime.StopSequence is kept only where the raw GTFS value is actually needed (GTFS-RT StopTimeUpdate matching).
  • findStopTimeByPosition no longer expands outward from the requested index — it's a single O(n) pass over the trip's own stop_times, so cost is bounded by trip length regardless of how far out of range stopSequence is.
  • Also removed the now-unused GetTargetStopTimeWithTotalStops/...BySequence queries from gtfsdb/query.sql and regenerated via make models, per your note.
