MMM-COVID19 not updating

[Baraka]

@sdetweil Thanks for your module, it is working very good to show me only the new cases in Germany

[Baraka]

@sdetweil Could you display for cases at the graph the last count for today as option?

[Baraka]

@mumblebaj yes, so this module is now death.

[sdetweil]

@bjoern see this page, I have lots of charts shown

[sdetweil]

@Baraka no, I don’t think that is useful. my charts are intended to allow one to see the shape of the curve.

here the middle chart on the right side shows Cumulative cases by country, you can see the good flat line til Aug 10th, while Italy is holding on (but starting to turn)
and the volume of new cases is significantly more that each countries prior reported amount…
I don’t need to know if its 875432 or 875555

the actual number is pretty useless.

IF you use the chart, and have access to a mouse, you can hover over the chart line to see the number used
( you can see the hover info in the same middle chart on the right side here)

u can also turn off individual inputs to the chart. (by clicking on the box in the legend)
here I turned off USA on the same chart , now u get a better view of the other countries

[mumblebaj]

@sdetweil Nice one Sam. The RapidAPI seems to be working again for some reason. Not sure why but it is working.

[Baraka]

@sdetweil today morning no data or no chart for cases

[Baraka]

@mumblebaj yes , you are right , we get data. time stamp at this morning looks good

[sdetweil]

@Baraka looks good right now… sometimes they take awhile to release the data… I’ve seen til almost 2pm us eastern time (gmt+5)

[Baraka]

@sdetweil i have always this error message: [MyCovid19 Loading data for Chart “Cases”] since this morning. :-(

[sdetweil]

@Baraka oh, sorry, was replying about my module… Not this one

[Baraka]

@sdetweil it is your module , who is not working at the moment

[sdetweil]

@Baraka hm…
use a browser, go to this page
https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/publications-data/download-todays-data-geographic-distribution-covid-19-cases-worldwide
and click on download csv in the middle of the page
this is the data the module uses. I can access the file and it is current

also, can u look in the log (either the window for npm start, or pm2 logs --lines=??? for pm2
??? is a number, default 15

the module should retry every 15 minutes

[Baraka]

i have this in the log:

@Baraka said in MMM-COVID19 not updating:

modules/MyCovid19/countries-rawdata-10-22-2020.csv

ok, can u do an ls -laF on the file
and then rename it to …csv.old (I might want to see it)
I try not to download more than once a day to save peoples bandwidth

[Baraka]

@sdetweil i have rename the file and start new the mirror now i have the diagramm. Thanks

[sdetweil]

@Baraka yes, I am interested in what is in the file, how big it is… if 0 size then I need to look at that in case of a download error…

[Baraka]

@sdetweil the old file has 468 bytes - > maybe corrupt , the new and correct has 3491729 bytes

[sdetweil]

@Baraka thank you…

[sdetweil]

@Baraka I have pushed a fix for the small file problem… it will erase it and act like it wasn’t there

git pull to get the update
