Problem with WeeWX5 "driver" directory

[Remy Lavabre]

Hello,

weewx is installed in virtual PIP mode -> ~/weewx-data/... and ~/weewx-venv/...
I manually added the xxx.py driver for my weather station in the ~/weewx-data/bin/user directory.
It is declared in weewx.conf as "driver = usr.xxx", as was done in version 4.x

When launching weewxd, I get the message:
   File "/home/pi/weewx-venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/weewx/engine.py", line 104, in setupStation
     __import__(driver)
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'usr'

I tried "driver = xxx.py" without success

if I put my driver in ~/weewx-venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/weewx/drivers/xxx.py and I put driver = xxx.py in weewx.conf there is no longer the error.

Moral: Would it be possible to tell me the exact location where to put my driver in the user directory and how to declare it in weewx.conf ?

Thank you...

[Remy Lavabre]

Sorry, small error on my part, it's not "usr" that should be read but "user"

You should install your driver with "weectl extension install" if it is packaged correctly to support that.  See https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Weewx-Driver-Development-Tips for how and use any of the available drivers as examples if you are packaging a driver you wrote.

But to answer, you add user things under ~/weewx-data so it would be ~/weewx-data/bin/user/xxx.py if you copy it into place manually.

[Tom Keffer]

From your description, you're installing it in the correct spot, however you're not giving us much information. Instead of just showing the single error line, it would be helpful to see the log from startup. The reason is that it will log the location of the user directory.

Set debug=1, then restart weewxd. Post the log from startup through the error.

What does unzip -l AWEKAS.zip show? Does bin/user/awekaswx.py actually exist in the zip file?

Gary

[Tom Keffer]

I haven't tried it, but I'm thinking the problem is that the awekas extension uses

from setup import ExtensionInstaller

which has been deprecated for a long time and will no longer work with V5. It should be

from weecfg.extension import ExtensionInstaller

Try modifying the extension and see if that helps.

I found an old extension of Gary’s the other day that needed setuptools to be able to install it…it has the same old syntax…

[gjr80]

Not quite sure this is the problem, as far as I know the following gives backward compatibility with setup.ExtensionInstaller:

# Very old extensions did:
#   from setup import ExtensionInstaller
# Redirect references to 'setup' to me instead.
sys.modules['setup'] = sys.modules[__name__]

Plus I am still using the old style in the Ecowitt driver installer which works just fine under v5 and python 3.6+.

Gary

[gjr80]

Not quite sure of the relevance of setuptools; if that was the problem here it would be VERY evident.

Gary

[vince]

Dunno Gary but I had to install that for StackedWindRose to get v5 pip to install it successfully here.  Details on the issue I opened on your github repo.

[gjr80]

I thought we were trying to solve the OPs problem? The OPs problem has nothing to do with setuptools (or perhaps more correctly the python distutils package); setuptools/distutils is not used in the OPs installer and there is no error re distutils in the provided console output. If the absence of setuptools/distutils was the issue the error trace would clearly identify this.

Sure, I have used distutils in my installers and when run on a system where the in-use python version no longer includes distutils (python 3.12 and later) the installer will fail - as you found with StackedWindRose.

Hello Tom,

in your doc (https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Weewx-Driver-Development-Tips), you say :

A basic skeleton for your file might look like the one below.

from setup import ExtensionInstaller

And there is your problem, the structure of your extension package/archive does not agree with the instructions you have given to the installer. The line:

files=[('bin/user', ['bin/user/awekaswx.py'])],

in your installer is telling the extension installer to copy the file awekaswx.py from the bin/user directory in your extension package/archive to the WeeWX bin/user directory. The problem is bin/user/awekaswx.py does not exist in your archive, you have awekaswx.py in the main directory (AWEKAS) of your archive.

Take for example the Ecowitt gateway driver extension package, its structure is:

gary@cockatoo1:~ $ unzip -l ./gw1000.zip
Archive:  ./gw1000.zip

    11346  2024-02-21 19:39   gw1000/readme.txt
---------                     -------

The extension installer has the same line:

files=[('bin/user', ['bin/user/gw1000.py'])],

 

(well the same but of course a different file name). Note bin/user/gw1000.py exists in the extension package/extension. 

 To fix you have two choices, change the files = line in your extension installer or change the structure of your extension package/archive. I favour the latter, it keeps the structure of the extension package more akin to the WeeWX file structure and avoids the 'put everything in one directory' approach. Your choice.

[gjr80]

Where is awekas.zip? is it in ~/weewx-data ? Previously you named your extension package AWEKAS.zip not awekas.zip, did you change names or are you still using AWEKAS.zip? If so you need weectl extension install AWEKAS.zip not weectl extension install awekas.zip.

Wow. That's the first time I've noticed that page! Fixed.

In any case, it looks like that was not the problem.

[Remy Lavabre]

Ok thanks Tom, thanks Gary.
1/ Sorry for all these inconveniences, especially since the name in capital letters was a big stupidity on my part... But by getting so angry, we end up no longer seeing the obvious...

2/ These few stupidities having been resolved, there is a new problem arriving... It will never end! :-(
Obviously the installation is trying to be done in /etc/weewx/bin/user and not in the virtual environment...Or have I missed something again???

[Tom Keffer]

It should be trying to install in the WEEWX_ROOT directory, which is generally the directory that weewx.conf is in. To diagnose, we need to see more of the log. It will tell you what WEEWX_ROOT is. 

Also, it would be useful to see the full transcript when you ran weectl extension install, not just the error.

I do not think that the problem come from awekaswx.py.

The install try to put it in etc/weewx/bin/user/awekaswx.py which does not exist as I am under virtuel python environnement !

The problem is independant of what is in awekaswx.py... no ?

Hello Tom,

I have also try with the Bresser6in1 driver of Bob Atchley  -> https://github.com/BobAtchley/weewx-ws6in1

Same problem :

Using configuration file /home/remy/weewx-data/weewx.conf
Install extension '6in1.zip' (y/n)? y
Extracting from zip archive 6in1.zip
  Request to install extension found in directory /tmp/tmp1rbnn6un/weewx-ws6in1-master/

  Copying new files...

remy,

the extension installer is using weewx.conf in ~/weewx-data, but it is trying to put the extension into /etc/weewx/bin/user

what is the content of /etc/weewx on your system?

tom, why would the extension plumbing try to install to /etc/weewx/bin/user when the weewx.conf is in ~/weewx-data?

[matthew wall]

remy,

does /etc/weewx exist?

does /etc/weewx/bin/user exist?

in the file ~/weewx-data/weewx.conf, what is WEEWX_ROOT?

how did the file ~/weewx-data/weewx.conf get to its current state?

m

[Remy Lavabre]

Hi Matthew,

Thank you for your help !

--->>> /etc/weewx does not exist

remy@remy-virtual-machine:/etc$ cd weewx
bash: cd: weewx: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

 

---->>> # Root directory of the weewx data file hierarchy for this station
WEEWX_ROOT = /

---->>>> The weewx.conf file was recovered from version 4.10.2 which works perfectly and replaced the weewx.conf file from version 5 after installation in a virtual environment and by modifying:

SKIN_ROOT = skins
HTML_ROOT = public_html
version = 5.0.2

SOLVED.... -->> Thank-you MATTHEW ! (and Tom of course...)

With WEEWX_ROOT = ~/weewx-data/

Result -> 

Saving installer file to /home/remy/weewx-data/~/weewx-data/bin/user/installer/awekaswx
Saved copy of configuration as /home/remy/weewx-data/weewx.conf.20240301153706
Finished installing extension awekaswx from awekaswx.zip

:ooo))))))))

[Tom Keffer]

Thank you, Matthew. I had totally forgotten that older weewx.conf files set WEEWX_ROOT=/

Remy: as Matthew asked, do you know how your weewx.conf came to be in its state? Did you copy it from a previous debian install?

Yes Tom, as I told Matthew in my previous post, I installed V5 in a virtual environment then copied the weewx.conf file from my version 4.10.2 which works perfectly.
I took the precaution of changing a few variables like SKIN_ROOT = skins, HTML_ROOT = public_html, version = 5.0.2
but not WEEWX_ROOT = ~/weewx-data/… :-(((((

From the tests I have carried out, it even seems possible to do without defining this WEEWX_ROOT variable in weewx.conf of V5... Can you confirm Tom?

Many thanks for your software and your much appreciated help! ;-)

[Tom Keffer]

This is true: you do not need a value for WEEWX_ROOT. The default value is the directory where weewx.conf is found. In fact, weewx.conf installed by V5 do not contain a value.
