Monthly NOAA file name passed by CUTags name is wrong

Post by N0BGS »

Hi All:

I've spent hours trying to resolve this today, but no joy. Read what seem to be relevant posts here and on the WXForums but still no resolution.
I am running Cumulus MX 3.0.0-b3041. I switched from Cumulus 1.9.4.1099 on November 15th. Since then my NOAA reports have not updated.

Going to http://www.kpw3.com/CUtags.php?sce=dump will show that the value of $WX['LatestNOAAMonthlyReport'] = 'NOAAMO0016.txt';
Obviously a problem since there is no month "00"

In the CMX NOAA settings Monthly Filename Format field I have the value set as:

Code: Select all

'NOAAMO'MMyy'.txt'
Which is what the program defaults to, I believe.

Using that same format does correctly generate the yearly file name:

Code: Select all

'NOAAYR'yyyy'.txt'
I also note that CumulusMX NOAA report is completely missing from the status page:

http://www.kpw3.com/wxstatus.php

It must be something specific to my setup because the filename generation is working properly for other people.

What am I missing?

--Kurt


BTW, if you look at http://www.kpw3.com/wxnoaaclimatereports.php all will appear to be well because I manually edited the file.

Strange .. looking at your CUtags.php?sce=dump now shows

Code: Select all

$WX['LatestNOAAMonthlyReport'] = 'NOAAMO1116.txt'; // Gives file name of latest auto-saved NOAA monthly report
$WX['LatestNOAAYearlyReport'] = 'NOAAYR2016.txt'; // Gives file name of latest auto-saved NOAA yearly report
both of which appear to be correct. Was this a transient issue??

Must have been.

I just checked myself and once midnight passed the file was correctly named. The only thing I had changed was removing the double quotes around the file name and replacing them with single quotes.

From this:

Code: Select all

"NOAAMO"MMyy".txt"
to this:

Code: Select all

'NOAAMO'MMyy'.txt'
Do you think that's all it was?
