DWD warnings

[Stefan Gliessmann]

Hi folks -

I had everything configured correctly and got the warnings correctly displayed in the Belchertown skin.

Yesterday, I enabled DWD forecasts, too.

Since then, DWD forecasts are working and the DWD warnings have stopped working.

I cannot figure out what I may have changed in the weewx.conf.

Here is the output of: dwd-cap-warnings --weewx -v

teffi@weewx:/etc/weewx$ sudo dwd-cap-warnings --weewx -v
Using configuration file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/dwd-cap-warnings", line 1992, in <module>
    cap = CAPwarnings(config,provider,options.verbose)
  File "/usr/local/bin/dwd-cap-warnings", line 1760, in __init__
    sec_dict = accumulateLeaves(config_dict['WeatherServices']['warning'][sec])
  File "/usr/local/bin/dwd-cap-warnings", line 142, in accumulateLeaves
    y.update({a:x.parent.parent[a] for a in x.parent.parent.scalars})
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'parent'

Can anybody point me to the item I need to change in weewx.conf?

TIA,

Stefan

Could you provide the weewx.conf, that causes the problem? Please, make sure to obfuscate user names and passwords within that file before.

I solved it by reverting back to a previous saved weewx.conf ;)

Thank you, Karen, nevertheless!

After updating to WeeWx 5.0 I got DWD forecasts and warnings working, but since several days DWD warnings are no longer updated.

I am getting the same error message as one year ago ...

For whatever reason, if I comment the location of the icons in the warning section, it works again!!!

Apologies for the extra spam!
