problems with weather?

[jwilson56]

Anyone else having problems getting weather today? I have tried a few different zipcodes and some are hit and miss and mine 48124 will not show the weather.

It's working here with a couple of different zones (one UK and one US)

[Ron]

There are definite issues on the back-end here. No weather data is forthcoming from customweather :( even their own weather page is not responding at this point. If this is not resolved by the morning I will place a few calls.

Goodnight.

[Rob H]

This is still the case here at 0927 GMT.

[Ron]

Still not working even though customer weather claimed they had fixed it. I'll see what I can do...

Note that our webservice page returns a 404 at the moment to prevent a webserver overload. I will move the script back as soon as things start working again.

[Ron]

Weather should be back up. Let me know if this is not the case for you.

[jwilson56]

Working here.... thanks Ron

[Ron]

Yep, customweather requests are routed through promixis.com. This was a requirement of customweather.

I am now seeing this when weather attempts to update:

.\scripts\weather.lua:753: attempt to index local `data' (a nil value)
.\scripts\weather.lua:753: in function `UpdateCC'
.\scripts\weather.lua:990: in function <.\scripts\weather.lua:983>

for the life of me I can not find this script.

Any ideas?

[Ron]

This is the old weather script. I will remove that from the next release.

For now look at this thread on how to disable it in your install

http://promixis.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18728

[Ron]

open luascript/startup/test.lua and remove this line:


gir.LoadPreCompiledScript(gir.Scripts.WEATHER)

[m1duckett]

ack! Sorry I am using Girder 4, did not realize this was in the G5 forum. Is there an issue with G4 weather now?

[Ron]

Ah yes, Girder 4 weather has been disabled by custom weather. They didn't like us hitting their servers from each and every end user. Contact me at support@promixis.com for an updated script.

Ron put the script in luascript directory. I now get the following error

compiledlua: ...am Files\Promixis\Girder\\luascript\weather-work.lua:83: attempt to call field `GetRegistryHive' (a nil value)

Any ideas

Regards John

[jolly1]

Ron regarding the previous message I am using Girder 4

[Ron]

on line 83 replace gir.GetRegistryHive() with "HKLM"
and on line 84 replace gir.GetRegistryPath() with "\\Software\\Promixis\\Girder\\4"



local regHive = "HKLM"
local regPath = "\\Software\Promixis\\Girder\\4Weather"

Hi Ron still no joy now get the following errors
compiledlua: ...am Files\Promixis\Girder\\luascript\weather-work.lua:684: attempt to index global `curl' (a nil value)

[Ron]

darn it is using the curl escape function. I don't have time to try this out but experiment a bit with this:



require('socket.url')
curl = {}
curl.escape = socket.url.escape
put that at the top of weather-work.lua

[jolly1]

Hi Ron still not working following messages
compiledlua: ...am Files\Promixis\Girder\\luascript\weather-work.lua:13: cannot find url in path C:\Program Files\Promixis\Girder\luascript\?.lua
stack traceback:
[C]: in function `error'

...am Files\Promixis\Girder\/luascript/startup/test.lua:9: in main chunk

[Ron]

change the 'require' line to

require('socket.url')

[Ron]

Any luck with this?

[jolly1]

Ron currently away from home, will try this weekend and update you then

John

[Ron]

use

require('socket.url')
curl = {}
curl.escape = socket.url.escape

[jolly1]
