ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '0.0' in Weather Widget causes crash

YASB version installed

YASB Reborn v1.8.7 x64 (stable)

Describe the bug

I am encountering a crash immediately upon YASB startup related to the weather widget. The application closes without an error message window, the log file shows a ValueError.

I tried changing the city/location in config.yaml to rule out specific local weather data causing the issue. The crash persisted regardless of the location set.

The application only starts successfully if I completely remove or comment out Weather widget from config.yaml file.

Relevant log output

Thank you for the detailed bug report! This is very helpful.

I've identified the issue - the weather widget code on lines 433, 435, and 437 of weather.py is trying to convert precipitation percentage values directly to integers using int(). However, the weather API is returning decimal values like "0.0%" instead of whole numbers.

When the code strips the "%" and tries to do int("0.0"), Python throws a ValueError because "0.0" is not a valid integer literal - it would need to be converted to float first, or rounded.

The fix would be to change:

int(rain.rstrip("%"))

To:

int(float(rain.rstrip("%")))

This would properly handle decimal percentage values from the weather API.

As a temporary workaround, you can continue to keep the weather widget commented out in your config until this is fixed.

I've labeled this as a bug that needs investigation. The maintainers will review and implement a fix.

it was caused by parsing from string float to int ? i hope they update this asap

[amnweb]

It will be updated today and will be available in the dev release. It crashes for everyone. The weather API changed their API without any notification.

Damn, I thought my setup went bye-bye. Just found out, and was about to report as well. Kudos to @amnweb for replying so fast!

Fixed https://github.com/amnweb/yasb/releases/tag/v1.8.8

@amnweb Thanks for fixing so fast much appreciated! 🎉

Sorry for the Nube question, but what would the winget command look like to install the Dev v1.8.8?
Rather than: winget install --id AmN.yasb

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

We do not push dev to Winget. There is an internal command to update YASB: yasbc update. You can just run yasbc update from the terminal, and that is all.
