Weather on windows about templater HOT 7 CLOSED

On Windows 10 you should use -UseBasicParsing option for Invoke-WebRequest cmd, so the command will look like this:

powershell ((Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri wttr.in/Astana?format=3).Content)

But another problem is that weather emojis and symbols are not recognized properly in Obsidian:

Hello @yeders, sorry for the last answer.
I updated the README to include the -UseBasicParsing option as suggested by @unstppbl.
So in your case, this would give powershell ((Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri wttr.in/Campsie?format=3).Content)
Could tell me if this command works for you ?
The emojis are another problem that comes from powershell.

@SilentVoid13 I can confirm it doesn't work on windows 10. This isn't just in Obsidian either, it's within PowerShell. However, copying the broken text from PowerShell into Obsidian will make it display correctly. Perhaps this has something to do with how the website is encoding the text?

chubin/wttr.in#18 (comment)

Using windows newer terminal supports the emoji's and other features

I do find it odd that Templater when copying the output and once inside of Obsidian it doesn't display correctly but doing it manually does.

My curl command in Win10 is working.

Working:
curl "wttr.in/Campsie?format=%l:+%C+%t+%p+%w+%h"

Not working:
powershell ((Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri wttr.in/Campsie?format=3).Content)

from templater.

Got a solution for this:

Follow these steps:

Make UTF8 the global default

1. run intl.cpl
2. click Change system locale
   
3. enable Use Unicode UTF-8
   
4. reboot

Templater Template weather

powershell -command "& { (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'wttr.in/NewYork?format=3').Content }"

Trigger with <% tp.user.weather() %>

Result

As @luckman212 said, unicode chars problems are not coming from Templater, but from cmd.exe and powershell.
I added some documentation on solutions to fix this problem: https://silentvoid13.github.io/Templater/docs/faq#unicode-characters-emojis--are-not-working-on-windows-
Closing this.
