Re: [weewx-user] forecast crashes when adding first Zambretti recode on clean database

['John Kline' via weewx-user]

The extension you attempted to install hasn’t been updated for six years.  It will not run on WeeWX 4.x, nor on WeeWX 5.x I attempted to send you the link to the proper for of the extension that will run, but the message was blocked because of a 3rd part link!  (Apparently, we can’t send github links). Do a search for weewx-forecast.  The fork by chaunceygardiner should come up first.  Install that one.

I have recently upgraded from 4.4.0 to 5.1.0 of which I have done a clean install. Everything works except the Zambretti forecast does not add its 9am record. I use a seperate forecast database with archive table containing the zcode. I had copied across the forecast table from 440. In an effort to have a clean start I deleted the forecast/archive table. This recreated successfully on a weewx restart. However when it tries to add the first record it crashes (see log below). If I add one archive record containing  a zcode it does not crash but then it never add a 9am record either. It obviously has access to the database as it recreates the archive table OK.
