Error starting Pi-Clock

[maserowik]

@SerBrynden

Your fork has been working correctly until today. I have my clock restart with different screen through out the day today when the clock started I see the clock load but then the clock stops looking at the log file I see the following

[2023-11-21 07:13:35.245346-05:00] File "/home/pi/PiClock/Clock/PyQtPiClock.py", line 1284, in wxfinished_metar [2023-11-21 07:13:35.359718-05:00] wd = f.wind_dir.compass() [2023-11-21 07:13:35.463263-05:00] AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'compass'

any ideas?

[SerBrynden]

The wind direction is missing from the METAR weather conditions. Was there any error in getting the METAR data? Look for "wxmetar:" in the log.

Since the wind is variable at 4 knots, as given by the code "VRB04KT", there is no specific direction the wind is coming from. This causes None to be returned by the f.wind_dir.compass() line. I've updated PiClock to ignore the wind direction if it is None. Just do a git pull to update. I guess variable winds are rare in Metar reports, so this error hasn't been caught before. Or, not many people are using Metar because it only updates every hour.

ok so i am NOT a github person. What does the following mean? and how do i solve it?

You may have made changes to PyQtPiClock.py. Try this to discard any local changes and force the update:

git reset --hard
git pull

Correct I made all kinds of changes to that file to customize to my liking.  is there a way I can keep my changes and apply you fix?
