Weather widget crashes YASB when tooltip enabled (ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '0.0')

YASB: v1.8.7

Describe the bug

When the Weather widget has tooltips enabled, YASB can crash/restart with an unhandled ValueError while updating the label/tooltip. Disabling the tooltip (tooltip: false) avoids the crash.

Configure the weather widget and enable tooltip:
weather:
type: "yasb.weather.WeatherWidget"
options:
label: "{icon} {temp}"
label_alt: "{icon} {location}: {temp}, Min {min_temp}, Max {max_temp}, Wind {wind}"
api_key: ""
location: "xxx"
update_interval: 600
hide_decimal: true
tooltip: true
2. Start YASB and wait for a weather refresh (or trigger update).
3. Observe YASB crashes/restarts.

Relevant log output

Thank you for reporting this issue, @jasonboi!

This is a duplicate of #687 and #689 - multiple users are experiencing the same weather widget crash. The issue occurs because the weatherapi.com API sometimes returns chance_of_rain and chance_of_snow as floats (e.g., 0.0, 100.0) instead of integers, which causes the ValueError when the tooltip code tries to parse them with int().

Root Cause:
The weather widget's _update_label method attempts to convert the precipitation percentage directly to int: int(rain.rstrip("%")), which fails when the value is "0.0%" or "100.0%".

Workaround:
As you discovered, setting tooltip: false in your weather widget configuration will prevent the crash.

Issue #689 includes a detailed root cause analysis and suggested fix. The maintainers are already aware of this bug and should have a fix soon.

Please track #687 for updates on this issue.

I just ran into this, as well. I didn't have tooltip explicitly enabled, but it was still crashing with this error. Setting tooltip: false fixed the problem.
