Switching to OpenLayers and back to MapLibre hides all styles

[nyurik]

Maputnik version: v2.0 as published on maplibre.org/maputnik
Browser: Chrome
OS: Linux

Description of the bug:
All styles stop working after switching to OpenLayers (experimental) and back

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open https://maplibre.org/maputnik/
2. In Style Settings change last setting - style renderer to Open Layers
3. Observe styling is nearly the same (not certain if openlayers is actually used)
4. Change it back to MapLibre GL
5. Observe that styling is good, but some background images may still show on low zooms

I think the support for openlayers is broken so badly we should simply remove the open layers rendering option and reduce the maintenance work.

Checkout the openlayers label for other issues.

@nyurik , maputnik has had a lot of things updated - do you still see this?

[nyurik]

I just checked - openlayers does not show anything at all anymore

This is what I see following your instructions with the demotiles:

Is it a certain specific style that's not working?

[nyurik]

I am getting a blank (off-white) screen when I open the Americana style. The MapTiler basic does work ok.

[nyurik]

P.S. Also, with MapTiler basic , switching to open layers works ok, but switching back to maplibre goes boom (off white background)

[birkskyum]

The maptiler is because it looses the api key

[birkskyum]

The americana is because ol-mapbox-style is incompatible with the Americana, and Maputnik is running the latest version on the ol-mapbox-style. The ol-mapbox-style doesn't care about the maplibre-style-spec at all, so it's questionable how useful it is.

The ol-mapbox-style doesn't care about the maplibre-style-spec at all, so it's questionable how useful it is.

Perhaps an issue can be raised with them? ol-mapbox-style does mention MapLibre Style
