schachmat / wego

weather app for the terminal

wego is a weather client for the terminal.

Features

• show forecast for 1 to 7 days
• nice ASCII art icons
• displayed info (metric or imperial units):
  • temperature range (felt and measured)
  • windspeed and direction
  • viewing distance
  • precipitation amount and probability
• ssl, so the NSA has a harder time learning where you live or plan to go
• multi language support
• config file for default location which can be overridden by commandline
• Automatic config management with ingo

Dependencies

• A working Go 1.20 environment
• utf-8 terminal with 256 colors
• A monospaced font containing all the required runes (I use dejavu sans mono)
• An API key for the backend (see Setup below)

Installation

Check your distribution for packaging:

To directly install or update the wego binary from Github into your $GOPATH as usual, run:

go install github.com/schachmat/wego@latest

Setup

0. Run wego once. You will get an error message, but the .wegorc config file will be generated in your $HOME directory (it will be hidden in some file managers due to the filename starting with a dot).
1. With an Openweathermap account
   • You can create an account and get a free API key by signing up
   • Update the following .wegorc config variables to fit your needs:

     backend=openweathermap
     location=New York
     owm-api-key=YOUR_OPENWEATHERMAP_API_KEY_HERE
   

2. With a Worldweatheronline account
   • Worldweatheronline no longer gives out free API keys. #83
   • Update the following .wegorc config variables to fit your needs:

     backend=worldweatheronline
     location=New York
     wwo-api-key=YOUR_WORLDWEATHERONLINE_API_KEY_HERE
   

3. You may want to adjust other preferences like days, units and …-lang as well. Save the file.
4. Run wego once again and you should get the weather forecast for the current and next few days for your chosen location.
5. If you're visiting someone in e.g. London over the weekend, just run wego 4 London or wego London 4 (the ordering of arguments makes no difference) to get the forecast for the current and the next 3 days.

You can set the $WEGORC environment variable to override the default config file location.

Todo

• more backends and frontends
• resolve ALL the issues
• don't forget the TODOs in the code

x509: certificate has expired or is not yet valid

I installed it three days ago, got an api key, it was working fine until today, when I get:

$ wego
2015/05/30 12:38:13 Get https://api.worldweatheronline.com/free/v2/weather.ashx?key=[…]&q=[…]&format=json&num_of_days=3&tp=3&lang=de: x509: certificate has expired or is not yet valid

Is this a server side problem or something we can fix on the client?
Thank you

The weather is too long.

Something that I can bear:

x509 Certificate issue

Maybe adding 'x509 Certificate issue' will solve it?

Issue with api.worldweatheronline.com cert?

I'm getting the following when I run wego:

Get https://api.worldweatheronline.com/free/v2/weather.ashx?key=[mykey]&q=Chicago&format=json&num_of_days=2&tp=3&lang=de: x509: certificate is valid for *.apixu.com, apixu.com, not api.worldweatheronline.com

I realize this is likely a worldweatheronline.com issue and I've contacted their support, but I thought I would let you know.

City should include state or country for lookup

Setting the city to 'Cambridge' output data for the UK, not Massachusetts. While expected, this is still not ideal, as I have to use Boston instead.

Add flag support

Currently, one has to do wego 1 Paris to fetch 1 day weather data for Paris. With flags, it just gets more clear as to what data one is seeking. Something like wego -days=1 -city=Paris. It also makes adding other flags easier in case more features are added to wego.

Problems with IPv6-only hosts

Swell

Any possibility off adding swell forecast?

add sunrise and sunset info

new frontend without ASCII art icon output, for tiny terminals?

I'm very pleased with your program! I would like to request the feature above, as I sometimes want to launch the program in a small terminal like this screenshot comparing the output on a narrow terminal and a wider terminal.

I lack the expertise to do it myself. Heck, I only just learned how to git clone, lol. :)

The standard output is 125 characters wide when including the table. The art takes up about 60 characters of that width. If one were to remove just the table lines, one could gain another five characters, putting the potential width with these changes approximately a mere sixty characters wide (text only).

Do you think it would be possible to implement an argument that removes the art and/or the table? (the image at the top for the present time's weather can stay, as it does not affect the total width).

Also note that I tend to bundle this with the date command in my .bashrc, like so: alias weather="date && wego" to receive this output:

$ weather 1
Tue Aug  4 00:19:51 EDT 2015
Weather for City:...(etc)

I'll poke around in the code to see if I can figure out how to do it myself.

​Cheers!​

x509: certificate signed by unknown authority

Issue:
x509 error when attempting to use wego

Example:

> wego
2015/06/10 13:58:00 Get https://api.worldweatheronline.com/free/v2/weather.ashx?key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&q=Salt+Lake+City&format=json&num_of_days=3&tp=3&lang=en: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority (possibly because of "x509: cannot verify signature: algorithm unimplemented" while trying to verify candidate authority certificate "COMODO RSA Certification Authority")

(API key masked)

System:

Additional notes:
Using curl on the same URL in the error succeeds (though my city fails to match anything, apparently!)

API KEY does not work.!

I placed my API key. but i still get the error message.

onfig.APIKey = "*******************************"

Recommended/Supported Fonts

Which Fonts does wego support? I notice my Droid Sans Mono isn't able to display the character to the left of the Wind.

Thanks.

wego won't start on my Server

On my Server (Pentium III Coppermine 650MHz, 512MB RAM, Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS Server), wego doesn't wants to work.

Here's the dump

Seems like it has a problem with some sort of Crpyto or so? On my Main PC it works perfectly nice:

runwidth.FillRight undefined

Hello,
When I install with go get github.com/schachmat/wego
I get an error:
./we.go:456: undefined: runewidth.FillRight

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Dave

Stack cells

I suppose cells should be stacked when terminal width is not sufficient for 4 cells of each day. Now in my terminal with 90 symbols width the output is a real mess.

ansiEsc.Split undefined

I tried installing and got the following error:

$sudo go get github.com/schachmat/wego

github.com/schachmat/wego

/usr/lib/go/src/pkg/github.com/schachmat/wego/we.go:314: ansiEsc.Split undefined (type *regexp.Regexp has no field or method Split)

So I tried installing "sudo go get github.com/hotei/ansiterm" in hopes of getting ansiEsc support, got no output from that command, assumed it ran successfully (though I didn't see anything in my $GOPATH afterwards). I tried installing wego again, same issue.

My Go version is "go version go1".

This is literally my first interaction with Go, so I don't really know what I'm doing. Any hints?

Add not 64 bit linux compatible to reqs in README

Doesn't seem to run on 64 bit linux, should maybe add to reqs on readme.

onlu mon in date

The date is only Mon for day

Long weather descriptions get cropped

Look at 26 day, where you can see ... at the end.

Overflowing text

Is it possible to cut the overflowed text in half so that the end of the text is visible?

error

command-line-arguments

./we.go:293: function ends without a return statement

Current conditions only has FeelsLike temperature

Because the API call only returns a true FeelsLike

The current weather condition displays a misleading 0deg on one end of the range.

I think if both the FeelsLike and Temp fields are not valid and present, then we should eliminate the range and only print the single value returned in the API call. Do we have a way to determine if it is a valid return from the API call?

Edited -- misread the json output, issue updated

No api_key specified

After building wego with gccgo on Fedora (required as go has a known bug, cf https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1135152), the following happen:

Configuration file stored in $HOME, as opposed to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME

It would be preferable if the .wegorc file were stored in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, as opposed to cluttering the home directory.

Switch between fahrenheit and celsius

Be nice if the option to switch between fahrenheit and celsius was in the .wegorc.

.wegorc examples

In the installation section you mention to add the api key and other settings to the wegorc but you don't
give an example of how it supposed to look. Can you provide example .wegorc in the project.

iTerm box-drawing character missalignment

Hi,

sorry I didn't necessarily wanted to open an issue for it but my ascii art looks a bit weird. At least it does not look the way it looks in the screenshot of your installation instructions.
Does it only work with specific fonts? I can't really see the clouds its just some slashes and dots. Same with the sun.

thanks in advance
kevin

time of day is hardcoded

The time of day detection unfortunately is hardcoded right now. For most places (when only full hours are used) it works with the current API. For others (e.g. Delhi) it does not work since half hours are used. This should be fixed by defining 4 constant values for "morning", "noon", "evening" and "night" and take the weather information closest to these times.

provide binary executable instead of compiling from source code

as end user would want this as binary file, i think you should provide a way to directly execute binary.

Cache forecast data

wego is so awesome, I want to add it to my MOTD. Problem is, it takes ~0.5 second to run, and I feel dirty adding 0.5 startup time to my shell "just" for a weather report. One solution to that would be if wego cached data for a while - I don't know what would be a reasonable duration, maybe an hour, maybe a few hours?

Is this something you'd want in wego, @schachmat? I'd be happy to hack on it in a few weeks if yes.

signal: Segmentation fault (core dumped)

When I run we.go, sometimes it is OK, sometimes is signal: Segmentation fault (core dumped).

Get returns EOF, no weather data displayed

Running on Arch Linux I just get the following result without any aplication UI:
__MY_DATE__ __MY_TIME__ Get https://api.worldweatheronline.com/free/v2/weather.ashx?key=__MY_KEY__&q=Berlin&format=json&num_of_days=3&tp=3&lang=en: EOF

Some weather descriptions too long for cell width

As can be seen in the README image, some of the weather descriptions (such as "Patchy rain nearby") are too wide for the column, and are simply cut off when out of space. In this case, should we truncate the text, increase the column width (if we can do so without maximizing terminal width), or expand the column height and use two rows of text?

your go program isnt the first script im getting this error from, so im guessing the service changed their security settings to exclude the algorithm that your go program uses to access their url.

Split we.go into backends and frontends

Suggestions: support http://openweathermap.org/api

Please make support for terminals with with white background ;)
