[weather] Icon not shown in bar

[floli]

Hello,

I have this code to create a bar at the bottom using some widgets:

bottombar = awful.wibar({ position = "bottom" })
bottombar.widget = {
   layout = wibox.layout.align.horizontal,
   {
      layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
      spacing_widget = wibox.widget.separator,
      spacing = 10,
      cpu_widget({ width=100 }),
      ram_widget(),
   },
   {
      layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
      wibox.widget.textbox("Some text")
   },
   {
      layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
      wibox.widget.textbox("Some 2 text"),
      weather_widget({
            api_key = "mykey",
            coordinates = {lat, lon},
            show_hourly_forecast = true,
            show_daily_forecast = true}),
      wibox.widget.textbox("Some 3 text")

   }
}

this works mostly fine, as you can see in the attached screenshot:

.

The CPU and memory are there, then there is "Some text". On the very right side of the bar, there is "Some 2 text" and "Some 3 text". If I click between them, the weather widgets pops up, including icons and everything. However, there is no icon shown in the bar.

awesome v4.3-1037-g149d18e0 (Too long)

What can be the problem here?

Thanks!

~Ok, that went away after I added the https://github.com/streetturtle/awesome-buttons repository to my configuration directory.~

Edit: Thought that it was fixed, but the icon still does not appear.

same problem here.

            volume_widget{ widget_type = 'icon' },
            weather_widget({ api_key='<myapik', coordinates = {45.5017, -73.5673}, }),
            mytextclock,

So I see the volume and my clock, but weather is empty. No icons nothing. Generated apikey from openweathermap so it should work but not sure how to debug.

@thepenguinthatwants What version of awesome you use? Something compiled from git master, like me?

I am using https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/awesome/ awesome 4.3-2

It might be a missing icon. Have you ever seen a weather-widget icon? Do you have anything in logs?

[streetturtle]

Home many screens do you have?

[thepenguinthatwants]

weather-widget icon is in the folder of weather-widget weather-widget/icons/weather-underground-icons. But I have never seeing them on my wibar.

I have two screens

I think the problem is the fact OpenWeatherMap disabled an ability for new free accounts to use onecall. For example, if I send a request to https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall?lat=45.5&lon=-73.57&appid=NEW_FREE_API&units=metric&exclude=minutely I'll get the error

{"cod":401, "message": "Invalid API key. Please see https://openweathermap.org/faq#error401 for more info."}

The same request for weather works fine - https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat=45.5&lon=-73.57&appid=NEW_FREE_API&units=metric&exclude=minutely

{"coord":{"lon":-73.57,"lat":45.5},"weather":[{"id":601,"main":"Snow","description":"snow","icon":"13d"}],"base":"stations","main":{"temp":-6.63,"feels_like":-13.63,"temp_min":-7.65,"temp_max":-4.21,"pressure":1007,"humidity":89},"visibility":4828,"wind":{"speed":6.69,"deg":20},"snow":{"1h":0.51},"clouds":{"all":100},"dt":1704661101,"sys":{"type":1,"id":498,"country":"CA","sunrise":1704630829,"sunset":1704662789},"timezone":-18000,"id":6077243,"name":"Montreal","cod":200} 

But the problem is the fact the data structure is different. The issue is also discussed here - https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/issues/5336#issuecomment-1243023845

Seems like old accounts are not affected by these API changes, so it explains why not all people have the issue
