Cannot upload mapnik vector tiles to Mapbox

[alasarr]

I've generated a MBtiles using tilelive-copy but I cannot upload to my Mapbox account. When processing it says:

Vector source must include "vector_layers" key

Is it normal that metadata and keymap tables are empties?

Do you see something wring here?

./tilelive-copy --bounds=-180,-85,180,85 --minzoom=2 --maxzoom=6 --metatile=8 \
           bridge:///Users/alasarr/dev/tilelive.js/bin/sample.xml \
           mbtiles:///Users/alasarr/dev/tilelive.js/bin/sample_vectortile.mbtiles

It looks like the issue is because metadata table is empty. I've add metadata to the MBTiles manually and it works.

@alasarr - thanks for reporting. This might be a bug, but I'm not sure. /cc @GretaCB

Do you know about a version where it worked?

@alasarr I have something very similar to this (but using copy from the API rather than CLI) working and producing correctly uploadable tiles. What does your sample.xml look like?
