errors after upgrading from 1.3beta1 to 1.3 final

Discussed in #879

OS: Ubuntu 22.10
weewx: 4.5.1
Belchertown: 1.3 final

Installing Belchertown 1.3 had no errors.

After restoring my customized files skin.conf, index.html.tmpl, graphs.conf, index_radar.inc, I stopped & restarted weewx and got errors when wee_reports was called.

Can anyone tell what is going wrong?
Is there a missing variable definition in the main weewx.conf file?

I found that if I re-install the 1.3beta1 version of Belchertown, and restart weewx, everything works again, without any errors.

I found the solution, because I have recycled the skin.conf file from 1.2 to 1.3 version it's seems you can insert this lines in skin.conf (1.2 version):

 radar_html = ""
  radar_html_dark = ""
  radar_width = 650
  radar_height = 360

and delete this line:

radar_marker = 1
and insert

# This is the display of the kiosk page which is kiosk.html
    radar_html_kiosk = ""
    radar_width_kiosk = 490
    radar_height_kiosk = 362
    mqtt_websockets_host_kiosk = ""
    mqtt_websockets_port_kiosk = ""
    mqtt_websockets_ssl_kiosk = ""
    forecast_interval_hours_kiosk = 24
    aqi_enabled_kiosk = 0

I believe the Belchertown settings in the weewx.conf file override the settings listed in the skin.conf file?
So, if you we put the correct settings in weewx.conf, it should work fine.

I wonder why the "radar_marker = 1" is a problem?
I note that the suggested Belchertown settings have # radar_marker=0
I wonder if Belchertown 1.3 works with "radar_marker=0"?

I am having similar issues now after trying to upgrade from 1.3b1 to 1.3.1. In my skin.conf file, I do not have "radar_marker = 1" and all of the suggested lines to add are already there. Weewx runs, but it is only grabbing data and putting it in the database...the webpage is not updating at all and I cannot run wee_reports.

Output of wee_reports:

Ideas? I could really use some help...I know just enough Linux to be dangerous, so consider me to be a noob, please. Thanks in advance!!!

This is still not fixed. I don't know what is wrong.
