Weather workflow

[jason0x43]

I just posted a new version that fixes a small bug in the settings migration code. It would only have come up if you upgraded from the very first version of the settings to the current one. If you haven't had any problems, you aren't affected. 

[69wpm]

Hmmm...I've tried this with several older versions of my settings file but I can't reproduce this error. Could you open up your settings file (at /Users/<you>/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/jc-weather/settings.json) and either post it or see if it looks like this? It's OK if you have additional settings, like key.fio, but you should have at least the ones below.

 

  {

    "key.wund": "<your key>",

    "service": "wund",

    "icons": "grzanka",

    "days": 3,

    "time_format": "%A, %B %d, %Y %I:%M%p",

    "version": 3,

    "location": {

      "latitude": 34.0522342,

      "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles",

      "longitude": -118.2436849,

      "name": "Los Angeles, California",

      "short_name": "Los Angeles"

    },

    "units": "si"

  }

Weird, it looks like this:

 

{
  "service": "wund", 
  "icons": "grzanka", 
  "key.fio": "88a6b92b8f6ecc59ccbbd8719f7e5f32", 
  "days": 5, 
  "time_format": "%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M", 
  "version": 2, 
  "location": {
    "latitude": 45.755539, 
    "timezone": "Europe/Bucharest", 
    "longitude": 21.237499, 
    "name": "Timisoara, Romania", 
    "short_name": "Timisoara"
  }, 
  "units": "si"
}

Ok, I see the problem, Your service is defined as Weather Underground, but you only have a key for forecast.io. I'm not entirely sure how it got into that state, but you should be able to fix it by running the "wset service" command again.

 

I've posted an updated version of the code that deals with this situation (by asking you to re-specify your service if the service key is missing).

Thanks, that did it!

Location setting isn't working for me either. I'm using Lion.

 

What happens is that when you go to 'wset location' and then type anything else, it auto fills it as a Google search.

 

Help?

For a weather weenie like me, this workflow is beyond awesome. It is the awesomest! :-)

It sounds like the script that the workflow uses to query location data is crashing, or at least returning bad data. Hmm...

 

Does the location you're trying to enter contain any non-ASCII characters, by chance?

Excellent, I'm glad you like it!

I'm getting an error:

 

invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'NA'

Nope. I live in Washington, DC. I've tried to input that and my zip code. Neither works.

 

I even disabled Google searches just for yuks. Sadly, I was not laughing.

 

Thanks for the response. I've checked php and the other tricks listed in this thread. Everything else is fine.

 

Other ideas? Me wanna use dis workflow.

It's never the easy answer. Ok, I'm looking into it. Could you tell me what version of Alfred you have?

[Jules]

2.0.3 (187)

 

 

MTIA!!

Do other commands work, like "wset units" or "wset service"?

 

If you type in "wset location washington dc" (exactly that, without the quotes), does it work?

'wset units' and 'wset service' work just fine. I even put in my WU api key without a problem.

 

If I do 'wset location' it will pull up the command, and then as soon as I type anything else, it drops to a Google search. This occurs right after entering a space between "location" and any other keystroke.

 

Hope that helps!

Hmmm...  Just to make sure, are you using a recent version? (Like, did you download it in the last day or two from this thread or from the github page?)

 

I'm going to upload a new version with some debug code in a little while--I'll let you know when that's ready. That should make diagnosing this a bit easier.

Ok, I just uploaded a new version with some debug logging. That should make diagnosing the problem a bit easier. Just use the download link in the first post in this thread and install the workflow.

 

First, try running "wset location" again. The workflow will create a new file in the workflow directory called "debug.log" that logs all the Weather commands you've run for the last hour, including exceptions. You can get to the file by:

1. Open Alfred's preferences
2. Click on Workflows at the top of the pane
3. Select the Weather workflow
4. Double click on one of the command boxes in the workflow area (any one of the ones with the stormy icon)
5. Click on the "Open workflow folder" button at the bottom of the info pane that appears

That will open a Finder window at the workflow folder. You should see a file called debug.log. Hopefully it will shed some light on the problem. Just paste its contents into a new message here.

Which command gives you that error?

it works now, i rebooted. o:

 

idk what caused it. but just getting the weather normally caused it.

Ok, glad to hear it's working. I uploaded a new version of the workflow that does some debug logging in the background. If you install that one, it could help figure out narrow down the source of the problem if it comes up again.

[Jules]

Uhm, okay. I just tried this, and while wset location now gives me a brief pause before it drops to Google search it's not producing a debug.log at all.  : /

 

I ran some of the other settings and they didn't produce the file either. IDK if that's because they weren't buggy tho. I also completely started from scratch, including restarting Alfred, and tried it again. Lastly, I set Finder to show hidden files jic I missed it.

 

 

I'm a wee bit more lost now. Thanks for your help though. I appreciate it!!

Hmmm...that was kind of a messy process I gave you there. Ok, let me make a couple more updates and I'll get back to you.

I posted another update to the workflow. This one includes a new "wset log" command that will open a window for you that displays the debug log. Download and install this new version, run "wset location", and then run "wset log". That should pop up a window that shows the debug log, and you can copy-and-paste from that.

 

Just out of curiosity, what happens if you use an argument with the "weather" command, like "weather 20001" or "weather dc"? When you add an argument after "weather", it will take a few seconds to update.

[Jules]

Okay! Now we're in bidness.

 

FTR, when I just type in "weather 20008' as you suggest, I get the "Missing Default Location". I gather that's not surprising though. heh

 

Here's my default.log output:

This is pretty Greek (or geek, if you will heh), but I gather WU isn't letting me connect. Am I reading that right?

Yup, that does seem to be the case. What happens if you try to go to http://autocomplete.wunderground.com/aq?query=20001 in a web browser? You should get back the following text:

{ "RESULTS": [ { "name": "20001 - Washington, DC", "type": "city", "c": "US", "zmw": "20001.1.99999", "tz": "America/New_York", "tzs": "EDT", "l": "/q/zmw:20001.1.99999" } ] }

Yes, you are correct!

 

What do I do, guru, to make this voodoo work?
