Wind heading returns null #13

Closed jasonwryan closed 10 years ago

jasonwryan commented 10 years ago

Including a query with a wind heading request (%x) just returns 0.

shaman -l Wellington,NZ -m -f "%t°C %w %x"
7.34°C 5.16 0

It should return North-northwest

HalosGhost commented 10 years ago

Actually, it will never return North-northwest. However, it should be returning the degree heading (e.g., NNW is roughly 338°).

I believe I know what is causing this bug, and I'm working on tracking it down.

And, before you ask, I'm already going to implement a conversion specifier that will give you the cardinal/ordinal nomenclature rather than the degrees.

Thanks. The output on OWM is:

Gentle Breeze 5.16 m/s 
North-northwest (345.504°)

So I just assumed that the wind direction was available as a string and by degree.

Thanks for chasing this up.

Sadly, no. Though OWM's web interface provides the text version, their API does not. I'll be implementing that by-hand (along with the AU) until/unless the OWM API sees fit to include it.
