CUtils 6.9.0

[AndyKF650]

Hi Hans

As previously mentioned I have loaded the new version of CMX and CUtils both of which appear to run smoothly.

One small error I have found relates to the information bar at the bottom of the charts which does not seem to have updated. I have run ...Website, ...Graphs and ...ComplileOnly and cleared the cache on my browser but the reference to version 6.8.3 remains.

Do you have any ideas on what I have missed? A screen shot is attached.

Hi Hans

Deep digging revealed an error in my CUtilsCharts.def file, when I removed the following lines all the charts upgraded.

Chart AllTempEVT Title ALL Temperature and EVT
PLOT ALL AverageTemp As SPline Colour Red zindex 100
PLOT ALL Evapotranspiration As Column Colour #3F4CF7 zindex 90 Opacity 0.4
EndCHART

Looking back this definition seemed to have worked earlier this year, has something changed?

Hi Andy,

Yes i had read you installed it and saw no issues

A little smile appeared on my face when reading this as I did not name the keywords changed in my release notes but did note to check out the charts definitions.

So indeed, you are right. The new keywords are in the wiki.

Btw: the logfile should tell you the same i assume.

[HansR]

Btw: if the compilerversion under the chart remains the same while the main version is correct you can be sure there is an error in the chart definitions.

Hi Hans

So DayEVT is the offending keyword!!!

A small change to the charts.def file and all works smoothly again

I wonder what will be the next challenge for my website, at the moment it looks good but I am sure that something will pop up. The latest rolling dayfile project works well, that needed me to start to understand MySql. Gosh what a long way I have come since last year but still you throw the odd curved ball at me. DayEVT indeed

[HansR]

Yes, it actually is a change to prevent issues like the solarRadiation you came up with yourself.
So, from the CUtils point of view I don't think many strange curve balls will come.

And yes, you're doing a steep learning curve, that was a nice project indeed

Hans,
SFTP fails with 6.9.0. It is probably same error as Mark had in CMX b3189, corrected in 3190.

Went back to 6.8.3. OK

Hi Steinar,

I received the fix from Mark and implemented it.
You'll find 6.9.1 beta 1 attached. Could you give it a try?

Hi Hans

I am struggling with Charts definitions at the moment. When I try to add CoolingDegreeDays or HeatingDegreeDays with AverageTemp or DayEVT with AverageTemp to "ALL" charts I get only the average temp graph.

I have attached the .def file and a log file for information. The log files seem to show that no errors are present but the chart says otherwise.


Is it me incorrectly interpreting the wiki or is there a problem.

It is a bug. I am currently fixing it and preparing a beta 2.

@Andy, @meteo19:
The issue was in the generation of data for the ALL evaporation because I tested against the keyword i.s.o. the actual plotvar name (the name in the JSON). All seems to be working fine now (on my site). Could you please try the beta 2. You may have to remove the DoneToday parameter in the [Compiler] section to actually have Cutils regenerate the datafile (as a result of the UserAskedData run).

Hi Hans

No improvement for me.

Hi Hans
I extracted the new file to the /bin folder, cleared the DoneToday parameter, put my original CUtilsCharts.def file back and ran ...compileonly, this did not seem to work so I ran ...website.

This worked perfectly not only did the missing lines show up but the overview chart pinged up at website launch which always suggests everything is working correctly.

I am sure that you spent a while getting the main version together so it is rather galling for you to find it does not work as expected. However the fix is good so keep on smiling

[HansR]

No improvement for me.

The version number on the charts remains on 6.8.3 so you probably have an error in CutilsCharts.def
Could you post the logfile/CutilsCharts.def?

Mmm... would have thought that neither compileonly nor website would have been necessary, it should be just a matter of giving the UserAskedData run time to run / complete. But whatever...
And indeed, the appearance of the first chart is a healthy sign.
And no matter what, I always smile
