which skin is aborting on me ?

[vince]

I notice in my syslog that I have one skin aborting every run:

What I can't figure out is 'which' skin has the issue.  Other than disabling them all and reenabling one at a time, is there a way to tell which skin is aborting ?

(note - this is 'not' 4.5.x related, I just had not noticed the syslog messages previously)

Perhaps vds-local?

Or alternatively, the report in weewx.conf immediately before lastrain.

I'm leaning that way, but might be a custom extension I cooked up years ago.   I'm bleeding through reenabling them one by one to figure it out.

My more general question is whether there's a way to log which skin was being processed when an abort like this happened.   That might be a nice feature addition if it doesn't already exist.

Tracking down the skin should be easy with debug = 1, you simply look for the line containing:

Found configuration file /home/weewx/skins/xxxxxx/skin.conf for report 'yyyyy'

immediately before the error, the problem skin will be xxxxxx and the problem report (in weewx.conf) will be yyyyy. In your case the issue is with the WeeWX image generator so would be looking at the plots in the problem skin.

Agree it would be good to see skin or report in debug=0 logs, did look at that some time ago and left it, can’t remember why (too hard, detail that is not available, not sure.

That's plenty good enough to figure it out.  Thanks.

Where it gets interesting is "weewx.UnknownAggregation: historical_max('outTemp')" in the logs, when outTemp is kinda well known.   Wondering if I found a bug in Tom's xaggs 0.6 extension.  I'll poke around.

Think I found a bug...

No way it was my edits...

Oops, yup it was me...

     - weewx-user bug report haiku

Found it.  What was happening is I was trying to generate some images from a one-time test of the 'historical' extension that I disabled a long time ago, but neglected to comment the images out in skin.conf

Thanks for the help.
