Hi all,
I've been trying for a few weeks now (on-off) to get Daniel Macias's METAR extension working on my WeeWX setup but not having any success. I'm running WeeWX v4.2.0 on an RPi0W with RaspIOS Buster. I did a full system install so WeeWx configs and skins are in /etc/weewx.
Dec 17 20:31:24 server systemd[1]: Starting LSB: weewx weather system...

Following the directions on his web page (https://domoticproject.com/including-metar-reports-weewx/) I have done the following:
Downloaded and installed the metargenerator.py file to /usr/share/weewx/user. I added a line to log (in syslog) when a metar is successfully retrieved from the web site. Failures are already being logged.
Next I modified /etc/weewx/skins/Seasons/skin.conf in two places. The first modification extends the CheetahGenerator search_list
# The CheetahGenerator creates files from templates. This section
# specifies which files will be generated from which template.
[CheetahGenerator]
# Possible encodings are 'html_entities', 'utf8', or 'strict_ascii'
encoding = html_entitiese
search_list_extensions = user.metargenerator.MyMetarSearch
At the end the file I added this (I also copied this to the end of the weewx.conf file).
# The list of airports to include in the METAR report:
[MetarReport]
refresh_interval = 5
[[kdmw]]
[[kosh]]
Finally, I added the following lines to /etc/weewx/skins/Seasons/index.html.tmpl to display results in the report:
'''
<div id="metar_group" class="widget">
<div class="widget_title">
METAR (Meteorological Aerodrome Report)
</div>
<div class="widget_contents">
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="label">KDMW - Carroll County Regional Airport</td>
<td class="data">$kdmw_metar</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="label">KOSH - Wittman Regional Airport</td>
<td class="data">$kosh_metar</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</div>
'''
After I restart and wait for the first report to be generated I get this in my syslog. There is no indication that the search_list_extension user.metargenerator.MyMetarSearch was ever run and no METAR data is found in the report, just the tags for the individual airports ($kdmw_metar and $kosh_metar).

Now I know from his instructions that the search_list_extensions need to be put into the skin.conf file in order for the metar tags to be found but no matter what I do, I don't see any indication the extension ever runs. So, I tried extending the search list in the CheetahGenerator section in weewx.conf (just on a whim). After restarting weewx, this is what I see in the syslog.

Interesting enough, I now see that the extension is being called even if all it does is report it can't get the METAR and can't find any backup files. Since it has never created the METAR backup in the first place, I accept these results.
I wasn't sure if this was a Python version issue until I confirmed the extension runs when added to the search list in weewx.conf. I guess this could still be a problem but I'm not python savvy enough to see how.
I'm at a loss to understand why the metar extension does not run when it is configured in the Seasons/skin.conf file? Can someone enlighten me please?

Now I know from his instructions that the search_list_extensions need to be put into the skin.conf file in order for the metar tags to be found but no matter what I do, I don't see any indication the extension ever runs. So, I tried extending the search list in the CheetahGenerator section in weewx.conf (just on a whim). After restarting weewx, this is what I see in the syslog.

Interesting enough, I now see that the extension is being called even if all it does is report it can't get the METAR and can't find any backup files. Since it has never created the METAR backup in the first place, I accept these results.
I wasn't sure if this was a Python version issue until I confirmed the extension runs when added to the search list in weewx.conf. I guess this could still be a problem but I'm not python savvy enough to see how.
I'm at a loss to understand why the metar extension does not run when it is configured in the Seasons/skin.conf file? Can someone enlighten me please?

Hi,
Can you post a sanitised version of weewx.conf? You can use the wee_debug utility with the —info command line option to produce a report that includes a sanitised version of weewx.conf. Just post the report here but do check the report first for any sensitive info, wee_debug should obfuscate passwords, user names etc but it’s not perfect.

Also, can you highlight exactly what you added to weewx.conf when you “tried extending the search list in the CheetahGenerator section in weewx.conf”

Gary,
I see the problem now. Apparently the "search_list_extension" directive I added for the forecast extension (in weewx.conf) is overriding the directive I need to add in Seasons/skin.conf. When I comment that CheetahGenerator section out of the weewx.conf file and include both forecast and metar extension in skin.conf they both run as expected. The python version 2 issue (with metargenerator.py) I think now rears it's head because I still don't see any data in the report but I think I can work that out.
I probably would have figured this out eventually going back and forth between weewx.conf and skin.conf but my thanks to you for asking for that debug file. It helped steer me in the right direction.

Yes, a setting in weewx.conf overrides the equivalent setting in skin.conf, that’s where I was going but you figured it out.
