simpleWeather is currently not working.

[DukeBaird]

Possible duplicate of open issue, but simpleweather sometimes errors and calls no callbacks.

jquery.simpleWeather.min.js:2 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'channel' of null

However, its not triggering the error function on the original query

$.simpleWeather({
                    location: 'Waterloo',
                    woeid: '',
                    unit: 'c',
                    success: function(weather) {
                        $("#curTemp").html("Outdoor Weather: " + weather.temp + "°C, " + weather.currently);
                    },
                    error: function(error) {
                        $('#curTemp').html("Could not get Weather data");
                    }

Is there a way to make it call the error callback if this occurs?

I am having similar issue.
Looks like Yahoo is returning a Service Unavailable message at the moment.
I assume this is the trigger for the problem.

Query:
https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?format=json&rnd=20160214&diagnostics=true&callback=jQuery211031334247775704394_1453233474635&q=select%20*%20from%20weather.forecast%20where%20woeid%20in%20(select%20woeid%20from%20geo.placefinder%20where%20text=%2207722%22%20and%20gflags=%22R%22%20limit%201)%20and%20u=%22f%22&_=1453233474636

Response:
/**/jQuery211031334247775704394_1453233474635({"query":{"count":0,"created":"2016-01-19T19:57:40Z","lang"

As noted in the issue report, neither the success nor the error callbacks are called.
HTH.

Same here...

Same here - I tweeted @fleetingftw to make sure he is aware of the issue.

[rachelicha]

Same here. I also tweeted around an hour ago. Although based on ds00424's message, the error is potentially with Yahoo.

[ryotasolar]

how come the yahoo weather api is working fine but not with this?

same here !

[oasif]

[ryotasolar]

[conntagious]

Thanks @oasif!

[ctrlaltdylan]

Thank you @oasif !!!

Put the fix in a fork of the library and PR'd, although I'm not sure how to recreate the minified version.

Thank you @oasif.
i don't know yql, but briefly looking at the docs, looks like gflags was previously used for geolocation using lat, lon. I guess something changed very recently to remove gflags. "Service Unavailable" from yql was a bit misleading.
i am not sure why the weather yql was using it in the first place (didn't look necessary for zip code lookup).
Did the "limit 1" have any effect? Leaving it in seemed ok as well. Although in some brief testing with yql console, I never got multiple results.

This fix ought to be included in v3.0.3.
Also a call to the error callback on this type of condition in the future.

Removing
and gflags="R" limit 1
from line 26
bring me to [Object Object] . Error: "City not found".

Same issue as VitalyNikolaev here...

[genericuser256]

@VitalyNikolaev I was having the same problem. I fixed it by adding [0] to the end of data.query.results.channel on line 38 or leaving the limit 1 in on line 26
