My dad recently upgraded weewx for his Davis Vantage Pro2 to version 5.2 and it's not fully working any more. He's using the Belchertown skin on Ubuntu (I think). Here is a section from the logs:

Seemingly it's an error related to the sunshine hours variable that I added using this: https://github.com/Jterrettaz/sunduration. I'm in a different country to my dad so it's a bit difficult for me to debug it, so I thought I'd see if anyone can suggest something obvious that would be causing it. It didn't seem like any of the main files in /etc/weewx/ or /usr/share/weewx/ had been modified recently by the upgrade but I could have missed it. He chose the option to keep the existing weewx.conf when prompted, so I've already had him make the change to "schema = weewx.schemas.wview_extended.schema" in that in case that's necessary.

Sorry for the delayed reply. It seems that I'm already running the latest version of the Belchertown skin. weectl extension list returns Version 1.3.1

I did a test install of the sunduration extension in a VM and it runs ok although I didn't alter Belchertown to try to graph the sunduration items. An unaltered Belchertown runs fine.
FWIW - a clean weewx+Belchertown+sunduration setup has no mention of "group_sun" at all. My guess is you have a reference to group_sun in Belchertown's skin.conf or graphs.conf, or perhaps in weewx.conf if you did other edits there.
You can search for that via something like "grep -rHi group_sun /etc/weewx /usr/share/weewx" and see if it finds anything.

Thanks Vince - you're right, there are references to group_sun in belchertown.py, weewx.conf and skin.conf (the latter two are just "group_sun = hour"). I think I added these because I wanted to add records page entries for sunniest day and sunniest month, and so I followed the same format as for the calculation of the rainfall records (wettest day/month), the lines for which involve group_rain and rain_unit in belchertown.py. Any idea why the upgrade to weewx 5.2 would have caused this to break?

Other than suggesting looking at the Upgrade Guide (link), sorry no ideas here on why an upgrade to 5.2 would break anything.
At a minimum you can't just reference a magically created group_sun and expect it to work. The units section of the docs Units section (link) shows a group_deltatime with an element daySunshineDur that can have hour as the units. Perhaps set group_deltatime=hour in skin.conf and assign sunshine_time to group_deltatime ?
Rather than going hacking and slashing in Belchertown it might be worthwhile to delete it completely, back out any changes in weewx.conf completely, and start over and install an UN-modified vanilla version and try again slow and steady. Get weewx working with the sunduration added to the db before touching anything.
Belchertown isn't too configurable for messing with the HTML but you can add things to the records table by creating a records-table.inc file using the .example file as a starting point. Similarly you add graphs by creating a graphs.conf file from the .example file for that.
For the records table, presumably you'd use the examples there for inTemp (as one example) and use sunshine_time for the element there. Stop+restart weewx afterward and I'd think it would add your records for sunshine_time there hopefully. Kinda the same thing for graphs.conf to add graphs.

I might add that I almost certainly got the how to use the group_deltatime stuff wrong in my answer there, as that stuff wraps my brain around the axle so to speak. I can't speak to how to get the extension's "sunshine_time" into a group that's time related. Really makes my brain hurt.
(but I know others here know how)

Last followup :-)
I took a look at the extension and it already applies a group_interval to the sunshine_time, if that helps any. I successfully got sunshine_time to be added to the records table by copying records-table.inc.example to records-table.inc and lightly editing it to add stanzas top and bottom for the new data item.
I got the graph by similarly copying graphs.conf.example to graphs.conf and lightly editing that to create a new graph...

I got the graph by similarly copying graphs.conf.example to graphs.conf and lightly editing that to create a new graph...

So the table looks like this.....
I know it's likely not exactly what you're looking for, but it should get you going for whatever min/max/records you want to display.

I've just got to say - Yes, publicly!
That's the best metaphor I've stumbled on in a long time.
So appropriate, and in so many instances.
Kudos.

Thanks again Vince! I'll go through my install again and see if I can get it working again and if not try a fresh install. As I say, I'm having to get my dad to try these things for me on his computer, so it might take a while!

An update - I replaced all references to "group_sun" in belchertown.py, weewx.conf and skin.conf to "group_deltatime", as well as adding " "sunshine_time": "group_deltatime" " to the obs_group_dict in units.py. I'm not sure if the latter was necessary or what exactly caused it to break in the first place, but it's working now!
