"Invalid date" within weather forecast

[Canterrain]

This seemed to start after performing latest update. Weather forecast had been working for me for a long time (I built the mirror at least two or three years ago).

Logs don't seem to reveal much:

and config doesn't show any problems with the config checker:

I'm also seeing this issue. Thanks!

[berlincount]

This seems to be related to 0e2e8d2

... reverting it fixes the issue for me.

[vincep5]

Same issue for me today @berlincount . I am noticing the API json does not have dt_txt.
https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/daily?id=xxxxx&units=imperial&lang=en&APPID=xxxxx
fill in xxxxx with your values

[GregoryOrciuch]

Just updated with git pull to latest 2.4.0. Same for me.

[Hilzerak]

Same here :/
Any Solutions?

[Canterrain]

There's a pull request in to correct the problem. Hopefully that will all clear soon, and then we can update our mirrors confirm the fix and close this issue.

[GregoryOrciuch]

@Hilzerak solution is pretty manual for now:
you edit this file: modules/default/weatherforecast/weatherforecast.js
and change around lines 336-337 back to:

var day = moment(forecast.dt, "X").format("ddd");
var hour = moment(forecast.dt, "X").format("H");

then restart MM.

or this is exact upcoming change from pull request, you can apply it manualy:

@GregoryOrciuch
Works like a charm. Much thx!

[MichMich]

Ive just merged the fix by @jannekalliola into the develop branch which should solve this issue: #1341

Can you guys please test this branch? If this solves the issue, I'll release an intermediate 2.4.1 release.

To tryout the develop branch, use the following git command on your terminal (from within the MagicMirror folder):

git checkout develop 
git pull

Thanks for testing!

[Canterrain]

I believe I'm already on develop branch. Soon as I get home I'll pull and confirm. (and now I'm remembering I meant to setup remote VNC access to my mirror...)

[Canterrain]

I can confirm that this update fixed this issue!

Thank you everybody!
