Version

Describe the problem

Hey.

Setting up the Weather Widget with a new openweathermap user is returning a 401 (unauth) error code being returned form openweathermap .

It appears that new accounts from openweathermap have changed the default API version adm the API key that gets generated is the 3.0 type. As per https://openweathermap.org/api

This means all new openweathermap accounts created will not get the 2.5 API version creds which Dashy appears to be using according to the Sentry output.

Additional info

Config

      - type: weather
        options: null
        apiKey: XXXXXXX
        city: Brisbane, AU
        units: metric
        hideDetails: false
        id: 1_759_weather

O forgot to add the raw output from the API

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

Also I blanked out the API key in the ticket... I didn't use "XXXXXXX" :)

Hiya @alucarddelta
The API version refers to the schema, and won't have an effect on any credentials.

Looking at that error message, I see that it includes undefined instead of your actual details.
That's because of an error in your config - you've set options to null. Instead options should include all the options including your API key and location.

Update your config to look like this, and it should work:

- type: weather
  options:
    apiKey: XXXXXXX
    city: Brisbane, AU
    units: metric
    hideDetails: false

Have also tested the weather widget myself on a fresh instance, just to be sure, and I can confirm it works as expected.

For future reference, if possible please do try and check the docs and troubeshooting guide first, as you're question has already been covered there.

Hope that helps :)

Gah, That's what happens when you over look thing and dig into another area that were completely wrong >.<.

Yah that worked out @lissy93. I don't know where I copied the original weather config from but the options: null is everywhere in my config. Weirdly, it appears that only the weather widget was the only one that had issues with it.

Cheers :)
