long_form and time context

[Karen K]

I see that I cannot set an appropriate time context if I use long_form together with $current.  This is if the observation type itself is of group_deltatime. I tried $current.obstype.long_form(context='week'), but that did not work.

We would have to see cheetah template line that is failing as well as your syslog errors....

There is no parameter `context` in `long_form`. So it is clear that the example can not work. 

Consequently the error log looks like that:

There is no parameter 'context' for long_form(), but you can specify a 'format'. I'm not sure what problem you're trying to solve, but if it's that you need formatting for a week, while $current assumes something less than a day, try

$current.obstype.long_form(format="%(day)d%(day_label)s, %(hour)d%(hour_label)s, %(minute)d%(minute_label)s")
