Help debugging alarm.py

[Brent Phillips]

Hi trying to test Alarm.py (version = 3.6.2)

I cannot seem to get this running.. it does not like that the "engine" is set to None on line 209 in alarm.py, how can I get this working?

>engine = None

alarm = MyAlarm(engine, config_dict)

Here is the traceback:

root@raspberrypi_weather:/home/weewx/bin/user# python alarm.py ../../weewx.conf 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "alarm.py", line 210, in <module>

    alarm = MyAlarm(engine, config_dict)

  File "alarm.py", line 93, in __init__

    self.bind(weewx.NEW_ARCHIVE_RECORD, self.newArchiveRecord)    # NOTE 1

  File "/home/weewx/bin/weewx/engine.py", line 279, in bind

    self.engine.bind(event_type, callback)

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'bind'

The "alarm" example is intended to be run as a service within weewx. The assignment to "None" only happens if you try to run alarm as a standalone program.

Follow the instructions at the top of the file alarm.py. It will cause weewx to load it and run it as a service.

Thanks… it’s running ok as a service, but would like to do a bit more debugging… It seemed near the bottom of the module there are some instructions on running stand alone for testing.  But if not possible, then will ignore that bit.
