Bug ID: 514053
Summary: Environment Canada (envcan) weather provider broken.
API structure changed!
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First master
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Weather widget
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
The Environment Canada weather data provider has stopped working. Investigation
shows Environment Canada restructured their data distribution server
(dd.weather.gc.ca).
Old URL format (no longer works, returns 404):
https://dd.weather.gc.ca/citypage_weather/xml/ON/s0000458_e.xml
New URL format (works, confirmed):
https://dd.weather.gc.ca/today/citypage_weather/ON/{HH}/YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS.xxxZ_MSC_CitypageWeather_s0000458_en.xml
Key changes:
1. Added /today/ prefix
2. Removed /xml/ subdirectory
3. Added hourly subdirectories (/00/ through /23/)
4. Filename changed from {stationId}_e.xml to timestamped
{timestamp}_MSC_CitypageWeather_{stationId}_en.xml
The envcan ion at /usr/lib64/qt6/plugins/plasma/weather_ions/envcan.so needs to
be updated to use the new API structure.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Add Weather Report widget
2. Configure with Environment Canada provider and any Canadian location (I've
used Toronto)
3. Widget fails to fetch data
