Belchertown graphs stopped working

[pannetron]

Yesterday my Belchertown skin version 1.2 on weewx 4.10.2 stopped generating graphs.  With debug turned on, there are no error messages.  Before yesterday everything was working perfectly for months, no recent changes on my end.  It appears that the Belchertown skin may  access some other internet resources to generate its graphs - might one of those have changed?

Quel temps fait-il à Auffargis ?

Thanks for the heads-up here.  I'd have never found it in the belchertown issues.

I tested both workarounds.  Switching to newer highcharts works yet does have the font change issues.  I went with @roe-dl's original workaround in the github issue to grab a local copy of the required pieces of highcharts rather than relying on downloading it every time and hoping that upstream doesn't break anything.

I believe the best solution is the one already implemented on Belchertown web pages (use specific version of Highcharts in your code like  "https://code.highcharts.com/10/highcharts.js" to pick latest version of 10 or  "https://code.highcharts.com/10.3.3/highcharts.js"

for specific one). Code is stored on cloud so should be available all the time. You can even go back to version 1 released in 2014 so I wouldn´t be afraid you will loose access soon :)

Consider what happens if that company Highcharts suddenly dies. And companies can die.

[František Slimařík]

If my company would be dying, I would charge also basic Highchart product and search who is using it :)

I also downloaded local copies and made the changes to the Belchertown code.  Hopefully the Highcharts license agreements permit downloading the code.

I implemented the workaround posted by James-76 in issue 881, and it worked for the last 2 weeks...until this morning.
I have not looked for clues yet, but I'm betting that Highcharts changed something on their server, and now our links to 10.3.3 code are broken.

[Eric K]

Huh.  I didn't do anything and the charts returned.

[Russ Panneton]

I'm happy I copied the 10.3.3 sources to a local directory per roe-dl's description in issue #881

Hi all, I'm late to the party here. I've tried James-76 solution but still no charts. No errors in syslog, I did have to add the line    <script type='text/javascript' src='//code.highcharts.com/10.3.3/modules/solid-gauge.js'></script>  as it didn't exist in my header.html.tmpl file - which seems a little suspicious

Cheers
