@aboudreault, this pull request is a proposed change to avoid hanging the seed process. It does not fix the underlying issue at hand which makes the transfer fail if either the source or destination are missing a <source>. I would suggest using tile->tileset->cache->tile_get() instead of mapcache_tileset_tile_get() as in the first case you can bail out early if the tile is not present in the source tileset. |

if a tile is not present in the source tileset, silently skip it instead of having it rendered by the source.

The previous patch skips absent tiles from the transfer mode completely. I would propose we adopt it as it solves the issues related to tilesets with no defined. If a user wants a tileset with no missing tiles to be transferred, he can always run the same process with mode=seed first. |

We've been using mapcache_seed to create small subsets of large caches using the extract mode. It seems that if it encounters a zoom level in the source cache that doesn't have tiles, it hangs.
Our process is like this:
Seed tileset "test" to level 17 in an mbtiles cache (not sure if cache type matters, probably not):
mapcache_seed -c mapcache.xml -t test -g g -z 0,17 -n 4 -d /mnt/map/data/other/aoi.shp -l aoi
Move test.db to a server that only serves tiles, doesn't create them.
Transfer test to test2 (also mbtiles) for a given bbox. Mapcache.xml used for transferring doesn't have a source mapfile for either "test" or "test2" as we don't want this server to render tiles:
mapcache_seed -c mapcache.xml -t test2 -g g -z 0,16 -n 4 -m transfer -x test -e -8595344.000000,5583572.000000,-8554068.000000,5624848.000000
In the case of our source (i.e. "test" tileset) was generated for a restricted area and the bbox for the transfer includes areas that are not within aoi.shp. Therefore at some zoom level, there were no tiles generated for parts of the bbox.
The error that was returned by mapcache_seed was: mbtiles backend failed on image set: SQL logic error or missing database (1)
