How to use JOSM Scripting Plugin to Programmatically Split Ways?

General talk
1

So I’m trying to use the JOSM Scripting plugin to programmatically Split Ways IDs through my .osm.pbf file (city-scale filesize) via the Rhino Javascript.

Does anyone have any sample code or example code of how to get a split to work in the scripter?

Here is as close as I’ve come but I get an error very early in the script. I’ve looked the few examples I can find. I think my format is correct. In fact I am currently wondering if there is a bug triggered by the

var actions = require("josm/actions");

line of code.

function current_layer() {
    var layers = require("josm/layers");
    return layers.activeLayer;
}

//Define the function
function SplitWaysAndAssignNewIDs(){
   

    var util = require("josm/util");
    var command = require("josm/command");
    var console = require("josm/scriptingconsole");
    var actions = require("josm/actions");

    var layer = current_layer();
    if (layer == null) return;
    var dataset = layer.data;

//Select my Node of Interest which is a member of a Given Way. 
//I will eventually write this into a For Loop to iterate through several ways of a given highway type
var sampleNodeInWay= dataset.query("id:175494043");  

//Run the Split command - This code is wrong, and I don't know how to fix it!
//I'm sorry but I cannot understand the documentation about declaring java classes in javascript
split.runOn(sampleNodeInWay); 

var waySplitInHalf = dataset.query("type:way")

//Assign a New OSM ID to each half of the Way I just split
for (j = 0; j < waySplitInHalf.length; j++) {
    // waySplitInHalf[j].setOsmId(999000000+j,1); 
 }

}

//Run the function
SplitWaysAndAssignNewIDs();

PS. Don’t worry I am NOT uploading “My Split Dataset” to OSM. This is just for a personal offline project.

Thank you kindly for your time, and thank you in advance for your reply! Best wishes.

If somebody is still interested in 2023.
This code works with JOSM Scripting Plugin 0.2.7 using the latest API V3.
It is a rough replacement of the JOSM tool “split way” (keyboard shortcut “P”)
Code is not fully tested, use with care.

import josm from 'josm';
import { DataSet, DataSetUtil } from 'josm/ds'
import * as util from 'josm/util';
import * as command from 'josm/command'
import * as console from 'josm/scriptingconsole'

const layer = josm.layers.activeLayer;
var ds = layer.data;
var dsutil = new DataSetUtil(ds);
const sel = ds.selection;

const selection = dsutil.query("selected");
const nodes = dsutil.query("type:node selected");
const ways = dsutil.query("type:way selected");
const myWay = ways[0];

const SWC = Java.type('org.openstreetmap.josm.command.SplitWayCommand');
const chunks = SWC.buildSplitChunks(myWay, nodes);
josm.console.println("chunks: " + chunks.length);

var ArrayList = Java.type('java.util.ArrayList');
var list = new ArrayList();
list.add(selection);

var result = SWC.splitWay(myWay, chunks, list , SWC.Strategy.keepLongestChunk());

const UndoRedoHandler = Java.type('org.openstreetmap.josm.data.UndoRedoHandler')
const split = UndoRedoHandler.getInstance().add(result);
josm.console.println("Split done.");
