v3.10.0 - NOAA Year report does not generate

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

I have found the problem, the name of the data item plural vs singular :bash:

If you want to try it, then grab the cumuluscharts.js from my test site page: https://weather.wilmslowastro.com/test/newMX/trends.htm

After I worked out how to download the .js file all works now, the Daily Temperatures button has returned on my site.

Going back to the NOAA Year report issue,

I was just going through the MXDiag logs, and when you click the button no errors are logged, but it did catch this error at the Midnight autogeneration time.

I'll create a debug build with some extra error messages if you'd be willing to try running that?

Yes - no problem, I expect it's something simple causing it.

Just to confirm I saw the same error message in MXdiags at the midnight roll over.

Hi Mark

Just did a bit of digging on this problem.
I opened the .ini file and noted that most of the NOAA numbers were at 16dp rather than 1. I cleaned all the numbers back to 1dp and then saved the .ini file. On reopening the numbers were still 1dp.
Then restart CMX and on the desktop I tried to generate monthly NOAA report OK and annual NOAA report FAIL.
Then reviewed the .ini file and found some of the NOAA numbers had reverted to 16dp.
I am not sure if this helps you in your research on this problem

I noticed that as well - but disregarded it due to it being like that in version 3.9.x where the NOAA reports still worked, I checked the cumulus.ini file I had in a backup made before doing the v3.10 upgrade.

I also notice we are both using David VP2s wonder if its something related to the data provided from them?

Have either of you run the debug version I PM'd you about yet? I really need to see those diags files.

The decimals in the ini file is normal. Decimals are not stored exactly by computers.
