Weather module not loading

[sdetweil]

@aunrea forecast has a problem, the module creates urls inside, and then uses them, but the forecast ones aren’t ready when the request for the forecast comes… SO… it waits til the next refresh time… 10 minutes…

set the initialLoadDelay parm to 100

I have added the load delay but it still isn’t loading.

@aunrea can u show that part of the module config?

I am not sure this is the problem, but why are you using “apikKey”? My working OpenWeather module uses “appid”. Also, should it be “apiKey” (with only one “K”)?

I am using a config based off an old version, so I looked at the latest config.js.sample from the repo (https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/blob/master/config/config.js.sample ), and it uses apiKey (with only one “K”).

{
			module: "weather",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {
				weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
				type: "current",
				location: "New York",
				locationID: "5128581", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				apiKey: "YOUR_OPENWEATHER_API_KEY"
			}
		},

Lastly, if you have just generated your OpenWeather api key, it takes some amount of time (24 hours?) before it will start working. Hope this helps.

note that if u want forecast you need to set the endpoint

https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/weather.html#configuration-options, else it defaults to ‘/weather’

@sdetweil I did not notice the 2 ks. That was the problem!
