Weather links in today scope lead to 404 weather.com pages

[Andrea Bernabei]

Krillin, rc-proposed/bq-aquaris.en, r440

How to reproduce:
1) open today scope
2) tap on Today's card (not the category) to open the preview page of today's weather info
3) tap on "10 day forecast" (green button)

Expected result:
The browser launches, and the 10day forecast page for the current location is shown

Actual result:
The browser launches and shows "Oh no! The page you are looking for does not exist. Go back, friend, go back!" 404 page from weather.com

Additional notes:
this works properly if you do the same from the Weather Channel scope

This worked properly after forcing a refresh of Today's scope data.

Not sure what data the card was showing...it sounds like it wasn't showing actual data, and maybe it didn't know the current location so the web request was malformed?

Here's unity8-dash.log, from the start to the point where the wrong URL was used.

Following the described steps on arale, rc-proposed I arrived at weather.com page showing 'news'items but no location weather.

I seldom use weather on the today scope, for info and I cannot reproduce this by switching off device.

Hi and thanks for reporting the bug!

This is not a Today scope bug. The Today scope just displays results from child scopes, like the Weather Channel scope, and this includes the Preview page.

The Weather Channel scope is one of a few scopes that are not installed locally - they live on a server. The these scopes are part of the Ubuntu Rest Scopes project.

The Ubuntu Rest Scopes project already has a bug for this, which does not seem to have received attention.

I will make this a duplicate of that.
