[weewx-user] Re: Missing image when forecast_aeris_use_metar = 0

[ln77]

I have aeris_use_metar=0 (because there's no METAR that's reasonably 
accurate for my location).  A textual current summary is displayed, but not 
the corresponding icon.  It looks like Aeris is supplying the current sky 
conditions from the nearest METAR even without the "filter=metar" field, 
and even though neither current_obs_summary nor current_obs_icon are set in 
belchertown.py, the summary does get filled in on the browser side.  I 
*think* the discrepancy is in index.html.tmpl which conditionally includes 
the element for the icon based on whether $current_obs_icon is set at 
compile time, but unconditionally includes the element for the textual 
summary.

The icon field is correctly processed in belchertown.js to correspond to 
the textual summary (and the correct icon appears when I put the line to 
set current_obs_icon in the forecast_aeris_use_metar==0 branch in 
belchertown.py,).  It seems like either both should be displayed, or 
neither.  "Neither" is probably the better answer if aeris_use_metar==0 
since presumably the METARs are not accurate enough.  

The question then is, without the icon and textual summary, what to do 
about that big empty space?  Maybe I'll stick a webcam image in there, as 
an alternative report of current sky conditions.

The Belchertown forecast options are documented 
at https://github.com/poblabs/weewx-belchertown#forecast-options

If you set forecast_aeris_use_metar = 0 there is no icon.
If you set forecast_aeris_use_metar = 1 there 'is' an icon.

The actual code is within lines 1581-1634 
in 
https://github.com/poblabs/weewx-belchertown/blob/master/bin/user/belchertown.py

[didier....@gmail.com]

I think it's not a bug, I have found in belchertown.py
___
   if (
len(data["current"][0]["response"]) > 0
and self.generator.skin_dict["Extras"]
*["forecast_aeris_use_metar"]*
*== "0"*
):
# Non-metar responses do not contain these values. Set them 
to empty.
current_obs_summary = ""
*current_obs_icon = ""*
visibility = "N/A"
visibility_unit = ""
elif (
len(data["current"][0]["response"]) > 0
and 
self.generator.skin_dict["Extras"]["forecast_aeris_use_metar"]
== "1"
):
current_obs_summary = aeris_coded_weather(

data["current"][0]["response"]["ob"]["weatherPrimaryCoded"]
)
current_obs_icon = (

aeris_icon(data["current"][0]["response"]["ob"]["icon"]) + ".png"
)
___

If aeris_use_metar =0 then no icon displayed, right, but my question is:
What does mean "metar" and why we cannot display an icon without metar?
It is for a best understanding of this information

many thanks

We would have to see your entire [[Belchertown]] stanza without 
usernames/passwords/keys to debug this.
