testing 4.0.0b18 need help esolving issue

[Cat22]

After resolving a few minor issues I cant seem to resolve this one, why is rainrate not understood?

I'm using a Vantage Pro II station and python3, did I  miss a python module?

Case matters, WeeWX uses field rainRate not rainrate.Try using rainRate.

you mean edit vantage.py? I didnt type in that rainrate that was what the weewx SW reported

[gjr80]

No, the WeeWX image generator is being called by a skin and the skin is asking for a plot that includes field rainrate. Have a look in your skin config file skin.conf under [[ImageGenerator]].

That did it, now I am running with out any apparent errors. the skins.conf with the bad rainrate was part of the  steel series gauges stuff. A quick edit and bingo! back in business.

Thanks!

That is interesting, that skin has been around for years and a quick look at the history indicates rainrate has been there from day one. Surprised that has not been picked up (and fixed) earlier. Will submit a PR to the repo owner.

As this is a beta, is there anything i should be watching for? Near as I can tell right now everything is working as it should. I'm a happy camper :-) and yeh, i am actually glad to get into python3

[gjr80]

Any errors in logs, crashes, unexplained restarts, anything on the generated pages that does not look right. One of the main things sought during beta is users with different stations/setups. This has been a long beta, up to 18 now, so it’s likely most issues have been found. In fact release would have occurred earlier except for some packaging challenges.

Gary, this was addressed a couple of weeks ago. See this post.
