Small issue with NOAA Weather plug in

After I enable the plug in, and attempt to create a new instance/device, I get to the page that has a button that it supposed to open a browser window, pointing to the list of weather sites.

For me, the button does not work.

Instead, for a second the phrase "Waiting For Button Reply" is displayed in red text, as is a red spinner icon. No web page opens, and no error is recorded in the log.

Both server and client are on the same machine.

What OS version are you using? Also, did you install the server and client under the same user account?

Interesting - we're just using the standard "webbrowser" package in Python. Do the following:

1. Select "Open Scripting Shell" from the "Plugins" menu
2. Type (or copy/paste) in the following script
   

   Code: Select all

   import webbrowser
webbrowser.open_new("http://www.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/")


Does it work? Try opening the URL above in your default web browser (which is what the command above is supposed to do) - does that work?

It opened the web page as expected.

This was displayed on the console:

Apparently the webbrowser module is a bit buggy. We'll use an alternative technique in 5.0.2 to avoid it.

Really not a big deal... I just wanted to let you know that I was seeing weird behavior...
